Abstract
The paper presents a synopsis of the evolution of methods and
tecniques up to digital age and caracterises the main aspects of Behaviourist
and Constructivist models, in order to study the development of new advanced
pedagogical tools and methods in education science, in a constructivist
environment. For the purpose of the study, an analysis of the technological evolution during the
last decades and its impact in education science was made, with a-special focus
on virtual teaching and learning. The practical outcome of the study was a series
of online seminars and workshops, prepared by the international team of the
IRNet project. The keynotes and workshops were held during DLCC conference 2017
(Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Distance Learning, Subtitle: Effective
Development of Teachers’ Skills in the Area of ICT and E-learning), in the Universuty
of Silesia in Katowice, Poland.

Introduction
From Socrates and Aristotle to the end XIX
century, methods and technology in education science environment, have not much
changed. John Watson (1878-1958) defined the bases of a behaviourist model. The
education model was based in the teacher and the teaching institution.
The technological evolution during the
last seven decades have transferred a “room computer” Mark I (1943) weighting
several tons into a small tiny laptop, weighting less than one kilo and a
thousand times more powerful than his “great grandfather”. This technological
revolution was followed by enormous changes in the learning methodology:
didactic tools were adjusted and the ways of their implementation altered. Nowadays
we witness information, communication, interactive and mobile society, where civilizations
are connected in real-time across the planet. This results in an enormous
sociologic changes in all scientific areas, particularly in education.
The social profile of our students has
also changed. The average age has increased, “the 4 years of university basic
education are just an introduction to 40 years of lifelong learning” (Lima, 2004,
p.). There is no doubt that students today are building
their own knowledge. Students demand more interactivity, more multimedia
content. Together with that, they are more Web dependent, surface learners, who
are demanding more mobility and didactic communication in presence and distance
learning. This is because, they are digital constructivist
learners, multi intelligent, (Gardner 1983), emotional behaviorist learners
(Goleman, 1999), interactive learners (Silva A. 2004) and they are
collaborative social virtual learners (George Siemens. 2005).
All of the above results in
a new way of teaching and learning, with new technologies and new
methodologies. Although in the last decades, a large amount of
investment has been made in new technologies and methodologies, teacher skills
are still short in fulfilling all educational requirements.
The questions that arise today are:
- Are we, teachers,
prepared to teach in the 21 century?
- Do we have the right
skills?
- What are the best
technologic tools and the best methodologies?
- Is e-learning a solution?
Do we need learning to be used in both presence and virtual environments?
Enormous amount of training, research and
reflexions is required to answer the questions.
1.1. Distance learning stages
We can find references to distance learning since the
XVIII century (Verduin, Clark, 1991), although in practice it was not used
regularly until the middle of the XX century in the USA and some European
countries. The Second World War forced an important increase in distance
learning, because many young people incorporated in the war needed to go to the
front and simultaneously many of them had to be replaced in their civil jobs
with no trainers or tutors available. Moreover, when the war was finished all
the young people had to be integrated back in the professional civil
activities.
In this scenario in the mid-forties Skinner started to
talk about the “teaching machine”, but in that period he did not realised what
type of “Pandora box” he was opening. For the development of educational programs, it was
necessary to analyze tasks and objectives. In 1956, Bloom published the
conclusions of his research on “the taxonomy of educational objectives”.
On the one hand, distance learning has evolved (Moore,
Kearsley, 1996) following the development of computers, multimedia and
Internet. On the other hand, technologies developed gradually in variety,
complexity and potential, offering new models of distance teaching and learning
(Chute et al., 1999).
We can name several stages of distance learning.
First distance learning stage
(-» 1970): courses content was delivered by “regular means”. At the beginning,
the content and all learning materials were delivered by regular mail. Later
training courses were presented on the radio (1930) and television (1954). The
pedagogic approach for this stage and the two subsequent stages was totally
behaviorist.
Second stage (1970-1980): open
universities. Although Skinner and Bloom developed
their ideas in the fifties, it was only in the seventies that the theoretical
bases for distance learning started to flourish, particularly as the result of the “World
Conference for Distance Learning”, coordinated by Wedemeyer in 1972. Michael
Moore (1973) suggested that some resources had to be developed to define the
research areas, identify different types of distance learning and built up
theoretical methods. In 1969 the “UK Open University” was founded and Bloom was
one of the consulting advisers of this project. “UK Open University” is known
as one of the most relevant projects in this area and a model for many other
experiences that took place all over the world during the seventies and
eighties (Goleman, D., 1999).
Third stage (1980 - 1990): video
cassettes and TV schools. The rise of video players, satellite and cable
communications enhanced the importance of TV and video communication in
distance learning. The audio and image quality of the contents was very fair
and video players were offering the possibility of students to attend lessons
“anytime, anywhere” and as many times as needed. Since 1985 different sets of
courses were offered with a remarkable success.
Forth stage (1990-2000): computers,
multimedia, interactivity, e-learning. Technological evolution of
digital equipment and software showed new possibilities of interactivity and
improved the quality of distance learning. CD-ROMs and Internet (1990) were two
important innovative tools, offering flexible learning, allowing anyone to use
virtual learning environments regardless of places or time zones. In addition, new communication systems based
on Internet, started to offer the potential of interaction among students,
teachers and specialists across the world. This period marks the beginning of
multimedia contents production, communication and distribution through LMSs
(Learning Management Systems). One of the most important aspects was the
evidence of a need for new methodologies together with new technologies.
Some proposals in this area were presented in the
early nineties:
a) Moore (1996) considered
the “curriculum” as a “structural” area
and the constructivist “dialog” as a
need;
b) The “student autonomy”, was highlighted as
important and called “transactional distance theory”, from Dewey “transaction”
concept, which was later developed by Boyd and Apps.
There was a debate about the definition of distance
learning. The focus was the physical separation of students and a teacher
during the learning process. One of the most popular distance learning
definitions produced by Moore and Kearsley (1996) states: in distance learning
courses the teaching and learning process is running in separated environments
and special techniques are necessary besides the curriculum formulation,
teaching, communication, organization and administration. However, it is also
important to point out that the learning process is based on new methodologies
that become effective. The use of an expanded interactivity, multimedia,
graphic animation, audio, and video (stream video has been available since 1997),
hypertext, communication over email, chat within “focus groups” – all these
opportunities were the dream of many authors and course coordinators in that
period, though very difficult to implement. Students started to be seen as
active partners who use different technologies.
In fact the use of
this format was very limited until the mid of the first decade of the 21st
century, mainly due to short bandwidth available and its high cost. Moreover, even
available technologies were often used without being supported by adequate new
methodologies, and that could have turned distance learning activities into a “technological
noise”. There is a final question: What is e-learning today?
In 2000 we talked
about distance learning, not e-learning.
However, when we talk about online learning today, are we exclusively
talking about distance learning? Not necessarily! Today we can talk about
distance learning supported by presence activities or presence learning
supported in distance / online activities. In fact, we are in the process of constant
evolution. The increasing use of online tools in presence teaching makes online
tutoring a daily support tool with excellent results to improve the learning
quality. What are the changes that justify that? We could see that the nineties
were a critical period for a qualitative change in distance learning. Important
technological evolutions, software development and communication facilities
occurred during this period. For example, very fast computers appeared, allowing
video and audio editing. Moreover, hard discs, with very high capacity and
rotations above 7.200 rpm were able to capture video. “Stream video” has
developed since 1997 and diffused over the Internet (1990) / WWW (1991). Video
projectors became available together with the software to produce audio and
video contents and presentations. However, only after Internet became available
with a sufficient bandwidth and an affordable price (in the first decade of
XXI) it was possible to start using it for education purposes. Video conference
tools were available in acceptable quality and prices for education
“one-to-one” or “many to many” in the format of virtual classrooms, after the
year 2000. In addition, only after 2004 open source LMS platforms that were
possible to use at different education levels become available.
Education nowadays covers not only the life period from
kindergarten to postgraduate degrees, but it is understood as lifelong learning.
The reasons for this are the political pressure over school results, the use of
ICTs, the challenges brought by the Bologna methodology, and the common use of
computers, social networks and 3D environments. The learning theories of the
digital era emphasize the importance of asynchronous interactivity, related to Web
2.0 (O´Reilly, 2005) as well as synchronous interactivity and collaborative
work, inducing connectivism (Siemens, 2005). Mobility, collaborative and
informal learning are now understood as the evolution of learning processes
based on technologies. Daniel Goleman (1999), in his “emotional intelligence theory”
suggests the use of pedagogic games and other emotional intelligence activities
to increase the learning quality. This emotional oriented approach opens an
opportunity to the use of 3D environments as eligible and valid tools for the
education proposes. The experience of using Second Life and Active Worlds has
shown a good potential, but revealed some didactic limitations in MUVE
platforms when used in some education environments.
According to the needs of a student’s profile,
teachers should update their technological and methodological skills. This
requires permanent training in the following areas:
- new collaborative learning methodologies;
- online tutoring, use of virtual classrooms, video
conference tools and virtual group work;
- tools to produce contents in multimedia format,
pedagogic games, use of interactive synchronous and asynchronous tools;
- use of online platforms for managing contents
(LMSs) and other supporting interactive animations like 3D and MUVES;
- formative evaluation.
Rosenberg (2001) emphasized that teaching today comprises
different forms and formats: presence
teaching, online teaching, virtual teaching, blended teaching and other. And there is no sense in trying to develop
opposite terminology and make the “black and white game”. It is much more
important to integrate the differences and complementary but mainly to improve
teacher skills. An interesting study ordered by the US Government about online
education states important rules and methodologies. According to Means B.
(2009), “online learning” is “learning with total or partial use of Internet”.
This definition excludes printable documents and the use of TV or radio. This definition is not
consensual. Some other authors use a broader definition accepting a large use
of different electronic equipment - more or less what is usually called today
as “online learning” or “e-learning”. E-learning definition has changed over the years and
included different contents, but always expressed a relation between learning
and the use of computers.
The first most frequent used concept was CBI (Computer-Based Instruction), CBT (Computer-Based Training) or just CBL (Computer-Based Learning). During the
nineties e-learning was referred to as distance learning. In 2001, Rosenberg introduced
a reflection about the separation between distance learning and e-learning:
“e-learning is one format of distance learning, but distance learning might not
necessarily mean e-learning”. Rosenberg wanted to “separate waters”: on one
side, distance learning supported by documents sent by post or other
traditional means - not being e-learning; and on the other side, teaching and
learning supported by electronic equipment and tools. Today there is the consensus
that e-learning incorporates online tools and techniques, with contents
distributed in multi modal format (printable, videos, audios documents etc.),
with the use of interactivity in asynchronous or synchronous modes (virtual
classrooms or in presence or distance teaching). In this regard, we can say
that the revolution introduced by e-learning, has led to the results that even
in presence classrooms, learning will never be as it was in the nineties. In
the beginning of the XXI century e-learning evolved into a blended format:
comprising presence and distance learning broadly called b-learning. The
evolution of teaching and learning through the last decades is presented on
Pictures 1 and 2.
Picture N. 2 “Evolution part I – e-learning evolution”.
We can say that
this was the end of distance learning in its pure format. For long duration
courses, from a pedagogical point of view, it is convenient that learning is
completed in a blended format: presence and distance learning. Nevertheless, in
a short period, with technological improvement, particularly over increased
bandwidth availability, communication and video conference software and better
teaching skills, the possibility of using virtual classrooms and synchronous
activities can arise as a full alternative to presence learning. We have today
contents distributed asynchronously and tutoring in presence or virtual format.
This approach corresponds to Web 2.0 recommendations.
During the last decade, the concept of e-learning was changing
and altering. E-learning stages can be typified in three different phases,
which can be distinguished by the level of interactivity, the existence of
multimedia contents, and the existence of synchronous and asynchronous online
support. The evolution of technology, pedagogic methodology and teachers skills
allow us today to use all the above mentioned approaches.
First e-learning stage
– e-learning 1.0 (2000). Courses were structured in a self-learning format and
only lectured virtually (distance learning). Contents were distributed in pdf
or word prints and no interactivity existed. At the end of the course, students
normally had final presence examinations. Very quickly students and teachers
realized the limitations of this approach and a mixed solution of presence and
distance learning was recommended - usually called “blended learning”, or “b-learning”.
Second e-learning
stage - e-learning 2.0 (2004). In 2004 Stephan
Downs and O´Reilly started presenting their ideas about Web 2.0. Stephan and
O´Reilly, called for a more dynamic WEB and stressed the importance of
interactivity with important repercussions in education environment. A major
important topic was the interactivity and multimedia content in asynchronous
format: teacher–student, student–contents and student–student. Tools available
for synchronous activities like virtual classrooms or video conference were few
and very expensive and they required quite a high bandwidth. The content was
mainly distributed with the use of the following tools: forums, chats, wikis,
and blogs. All of them were in asynchronous format, and could be integrated
into either LMS or not (Stephen Downs 2005, 2007, and Tim O´Reilly 2005).
Third e-learning stage
- e-learning 3.0 (2006 -»). The technologic evolution, mainly related to
communication tools, was a relevant factor for the third stage. Video
conference and synchronous virtual classroom software started to be offered at
much lower prices and required much less bandwidth. ISP (Integrated Service
Provider) suppliers offer sizeable bandwidth at fair prices. Simultaneously,
LMS platforms are being offered at “open source”, like Moodle, Joomla among
others. From a technological point of view distance learning requirements are
now fulfilled in good conditions. This means that, there are available
asynchronous distribution and a need of communications tools for synchronous
online tutoring.
Now, we are facing a new quality challenge on distance
learning. It doesn’t matter if it is called CBL, ICT, e-learning, online
learning or any other thing, technical tools are available to work with quality
at any education level. Everyday better and better tools are being offered to
facilitate teachers’ job and the students’ learning. However, learning and
teaching tools require more skills from teachers and students and new methodologies.
In 2006 Stephan Downes, presented a new view over a web 3.0. He supposed that
web should be more effective over browsing and searching in terms of semantic
and obtained results, although, the relation between his “future view” and
education science was short. In 2006, we could again say that we were facing a
new phase of e-learning - e-learning 3.0, which emerged from connectivism based
on the George Siemens approach, which includes mobility, multimedia contents
and online synchronous interactivity.
The main aspects used in this environment are:
·
The use of new technologies supported by new
methodologies;
·
The use of LMS to distribute asynchronously contents
and manage courses, in distance and presence learning;
·
Online synchronous tutoring support, using audio,
video, white boards and other tools in virtual classrooms;
·
Continuous formative evaluation supported by online
activities;
·
The blended learning concept has changed from a mix of
presence and distance learning into asynchronous and synchronous activities,
using virtual classrooms in presence and virtual format.
The main synchronous virtual tools were virtual
classrooms, e-round table, Webcast, video diffusion, e-workshop, conference
call. Downes (2005) identified three stages of e-learning and associates them
with Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. In fact, he could establish a relation
between Web phases and e-learning phases.
B-learning evolves from presence and distance format,
to asynchronous on demand and synchronous in presence and online (using
synchronous virtual classrooms).
The formulation of e-learning 3.0 by Reis (Reis et al,
2009), is different from Downs, because he introduces a pedagogic environment
and new e-learning stages, includes several didactic tools also used in
presence and distance learning.
In this way, the concept of b-learning developed on
the basis of face to face and virtual communication, supported by asynchronous
learning platforms (Moodle, Blackboard and others) and synchronous virtual or
presence formats. All, strongly
supported by multimedia content, interactivity in online tutoring, synchronous
virtual classroom activities and formative assessment.
A relevant aspect
that should be pointed out is that the change from phase one into the next did
not eliminate the didactics of the previous, it only introduced new didactic
tools, new methodologies and build a richer learning environment. The focus is
more than just technologies; it is an introduction of new methodologies and new
skills to frame the educational process, to respond to a set of new needs of
our students in online learning. The solution includes a set of virtual
classrooms, techniques and processes that characterize what we call “new
ICT”.
2. Synthesis and comparison of learning theories behaviourism and
cognitivism
The theories of learning are projected in the context of the affirmation
of psychology as a science in the late nineteenth century, the most relevant
being behaviourism, cognitivism and constructivism (Wilhelmsen et al, 1999).
Behaviourism has its roots in the ideas of John
B. Watson in 1913. Watson based his studies on Pavlov's work of the nineteenth
century and conditioned reflex. The work of Watson was later taken up by
Skinner in the 1930s and is based on the study of the individual's reactions to
environmental stimuli where mental processes are ignored. According to Schuman
(1996), "Behaviourism is based on observable behavioural changes. By
introducing changes in a given behavioural model, it is repeated until it
becomes automatic". Funderstanding (1998) has a similar reading of
behaviourism in stating that "it is an animal and human learning theory
that focuses on observable behaviours and ignores mental activities.
Behaviourist theorists define learning as the acquisition of a new behaviour
". In the behaviourist model cognitive processes are not referred to by Briner
(1999).
Cognitivists believed that learning took place when a learner processed
information and what went on inside it. This is therefore a substantially
different approach to behaviourists, who considered a reactive and mechanical
response to the stimulus. Jean Piaget began to develop this concept in the
twenties, and developed most of the cognitivist theories by observing the
behaviour of children.
Although the approaches are distinct in terms of the process between
behaviourism and cognitivism, both consider knowledge as an absolute and
learning is the process that creates the symbolic representation of outer
reality (Widlhelmsen,1999). According to Burner cited in Taylor
(2004), there are three components of the learning object: 1) acquisition of new
information, usually based on something already known; 2) Transformation of
information; and 3) Evolution, where the analysis and reflection process is
performed on the information acquired and processed.
Constructivism according to Schuman (1996) is based on the premise that
we all construct our own knowledge and personal perspective of the world
through our personal experience and the mental structure that we have, which is
in permanent evolution.
According to Lima et al (2003), there are many definitions of constructivism,
but all encompass the following aspects:
·
In the constructivist perspective knowledge is
actively constructed by a student and not transmitted;
·
Learning is both an active and reflective process;
·
A student's interpretation of the new experience is influenced
by his previous knowledge;
·
Social interactions introduce multiple perspectives
in learning;
·
Learning requires the understanding of the whole as
well as the parts and they must be understood in the context of the whole.
The essential aspect of constructivism is the construction of knowledge
itself, which is relative, evolutionary, and fallible (Wilhelmsen, 1999). The
evolution of learning theories introduces substantially different approaches to
the role of a learner, teacher and evaluation in the learning process. The
analysis of the constructivist models allows characterizing in more detail the
different facets of the constructivist theory.
Teaching theory
integrates a body of theoretical approaches that came throughout the XX century,
with a view to creating guidelines for the work of teachers. Snelbecker (1999) says
that teaching theories are only general guidelines for the teaching work,
complemented by Reigeluth (1999), who considers it advantageous to integrate
several theories and methods adapted to each of the cases in which one is
working. The evolution of theoretical bases is closely linked with the
evolution of different currents of teaching theory, namely behaviourism to constructivism.
Boyle (1997) introduced two main points - "Instruction" and
"Constructivism". Smith and Reagan (1999) classify as
"traditional" the situations when knowledge is acquired and
"constructivist" - where knowledge is constructed. Teaching theories
are commonly referred to as ID theories or instructional design. Reigeluth and
Frick (1999) understand that due to the constant evolution and updating of
theoretical models, the main objective will be the permanent analysis of new
theories with integration and synthesis with the body of existing theories. As
we have already mentioned teaching theory, it is closely related to learning
theory, curriculum and the ID process.

stage - the learner should build his own knowledge.
It creates new information and builds student’s own
knowledge. According to Lima et al (2003), the evolution from behaviourism to
constructivism, introduces enormous changes in all aspects of the teaching and
learning environment. In a pedagogic and philosophic perspective the profile of
teaching institution, a profile of the contents, teacher’s and student’s
profile and assessment are as well changed.
In behaviourism and cognitivism environment, knowledge
exists in the outsider world. Learning is a cognitive process not depending of
learner profile. The learning process is coordinated by the teacher. Learning
is a sum of isolated facts and student’s learning styles are homogeneous. In
the constructivism environment, the perspective is different. Knowledge is
built up by the learner and inside himself. Learning is an intellectual and
social process influenced by the interaction of learner’s culture and
knowledge. Learning process is centred and controlled by the learner. Learning
is supported in real facts. Learning is a cooperative process and group work.
Learning styles are heterogeneous.
In the
behaviourist and cognitivist environment, the teaching institution was static
and the foundation of the teaching process. It was knowledge organization, transmitting
knowledge to students and preparing students for a life career. Teaching was based
in the quality and quantity of information. But in the constructivist
perspective a teaching institution is learning resource centre, preparing
learners for knowledge information society and long life learning; preparing
students to ongoing professional update and professional changes throughout
their lives - teaching with a focus on quality and quantity of learning.
In the behaviourist perspective the content is a
teacher’s centred activity is homogeneous with limited training and information
process. In a constructivist perspective, the contents is centred in the learner
and in real cases, it is personalized as well in contents diversity and
learning process; it is dynamic and with
access to large quantities of global information.
As to a teachers’ profile in a behaviourist
environment, a teacher is a master and the centre of knowledge. A teacher is a
knowledge diffuser. In a constructivist perspective, a teacher is a learning
facilitator which integrates real experiences in the learning process teaches
how to learn, how to search and to select results. A teacher structures and
summarise information, motivates students, promote group work, promotes a
critical perspective and stimulates self-study capacity and quality of
analyses. In the behaviourist and cognitivist environment the students are
passive knowledge receivers; they learn other people’s knowledge; assimilate
information found by other; accept with conformism; knowledge diffused by
others. On the other hand, in a constructivist perspective, students are active
knowledge builders. They learn how to learn and develop their own knowledge;
learn how to work in group for a personal result or for cooperative work;
express critical thinking and might have totally different perspectives.
Assessment in behaviourism is based on tests and
examinations in summative assessment perspectives. However, in the
constructivist environment, the assessment has important objectives to evaluate
the evolution of the student, the evolution of the teacher, and the evolution
of the education institution. The assessment has new pedagogic tools, as it
continues its formative assessment evaluation diagnosis, self-assessment, group
assessment, pear assessment, course assessment and summative assessment.
Basic
differences between Socratic behaviourism and constructivist are the following:
·
Behaviourist learners learn the master
knowledge.
·
Constructivist learners learn and build up
their own knowledge.

Practical outcome of the study: seminars and workshops, presented on DLCC-2017
international conference
In order to show the evolution
of methods and techniques to digital age and characterise the main aspects of
behaviourist and constructivist models we prepared a series of workshops that
were carried out, in order to study the development of new advanced pedagogical
tools and methods in education science, in a constructivist environment. The
workshops became the practical outcome of the studies, coordinated by professor
Antonio dos Reis. The seminars and workshops were held during DLCC conference
2017 (Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Distance Learning, Subtitle:
Effective Development of Teachers’ Skills in the Area of ICT and E-learning),
in the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland.
The activities were prepared by the international
team of the IRNet project: Antonio Manuel Diogo dos Reis (The Graal Institute,
Portugal), Olga Yakovleva (Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia), Eugenia
Smyrnova-Trybulska (University of Silesia in katowice, Poland), Nataliia Morze (Borys
Grinchenko Kyiv University, Ukraine).
The main objective of the
first keynote; “Evolution part I - from
Socrates behaviourism to digital constructivism” , was to present a synopsis of
the evolution of methods and techniques up to digital age and characterise the
main aspects of behaviourist and constructivist models, in order to study the
development of new advanced pedagogical tools and methods in education science,
in a constructivist environment (Picture 3).
Consequently, the main question of the seminar was – “How the evolution from Socrates
behaviourism to digital constructivism has led to a different way of teaching
in the 21st century?” The video recording of the keynote is available
at https://youtu.be/rp-suGGBKWU.
