Abstract

The article explores the Theoretical Foundation of Teaching and Learning in psychology and education, including behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, socio-cultural theories, ecological systems theory, and connectivism. It delves into the key contributors and principles of each theory, discussing their impact on instructional methods and educational practices. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach, recognizing the strengths and limitations of each theory, to inform effective teaching and learning practices in diverse educational contexts, especially considering the changing landscape of information in the digital age.
