Developmental theories should fulfil three main tasks: describe changes within one or several areas of behaviour, describe changes in the relationships among several areas of behaviour, explain the course of development that has been described in terms of the first two tasks. In this regard, students bring preexisting knowledge about particular majors and even regarding academic advising. rely more on chance rather than high-level nodes or networks (Siemens, 2005).

Mentorships also encourage employees to control their own learning by having a person to direct questions to and learn from. (Ed.) Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories. Connectivism is a model of learning that can guide first year advising through "the integration of principles explored as chaos, network, and complexity, and self-organization theories" as well as an "understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations" (Siemens, 2004, para.

Moreover (much to the disapproval of subsequent critics), this was presented as a new (and fourth) epistemological framework for learning; for what objectivism is to behaviourism, pragmatism is to cognitivism, and interpritivism is to constructivism, so distributed knowledge is to connectivism (Siemens (2008b). accurate picture in how behaviours are learned. Connectivism is built on the idea that digital technology brings people together and creates new learning opportunities. Siemens theory of connectivism developed partly though his professional online interactions with others using emerging Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs and wikis, and his initial theoretical arguments focused largely around chaos and network theories, drawing on small world networks and (Siemens). (2013). The strengths of the social learning theory are as follows: Giving students autonomy in their work can create a higher sense of ownership. Elieson (2013) claims one cannot learn something new without having first obtained certain prerequisite knowledge (p. 29). Strengths: learning theories can explain consistency and change in behaviour. endobj Where previous theories of learning focused on the acquisition of knowledge that the individual processes and maintains internally, Connectivism recognizes that knowledge is contained in networks of connected "nodes," both internal and external. Developmental theories, which Miller describes as fertile testing grounds for ideas may become established as formal theories over time, once empirical research has validated formal hypotheses. He suggests the reason why connectivism has become quickly recognised is because the technology on which it is based (i.e. Connectionism has its root in cognitive and computational neuroscience.

Collaborative Learning builds on the ideas of Connectivism Learning Theory, including social interaction, ongoing knowledge exchange, and seeking information through digital channels. This paper focuses on strengths and weaknesses of the Cognitive Theory. Some of these criticisms may be overcome as practice improves, as new tools for assessment, and for organizing co-operative and collaborative work with massive numbers, are developed, and as more experience is gained. New theories can emerge in response to new developments (in, for example, practices or technologies) to which existing theories are no longer acpplicable.
