Hi Rosina,
I am impressed by how you learn about the unfamiliar terms in economics lessons. I also learn as a behaviorist as you. I think reinforcement is very important to knowledge acquisition. After we get practices about the definition, we can get visual feedback about the results. And then I can aim at my shortcomings and spend more time learning the knowledge. However, I think as learning designers, we should also pay attention to students’ previous experience and link them to the knowledge we plan. In the cognitivism theory, the students’ mental activities are important. When teachers take it into consideration, students would tend to actively interact with the learning process and regard knowledge acquisition.
