Which one do I prefer?

I think I prefer constructivism due to I'm not a very authoritarian kind of teacher, I mean we were all treated like that when we were children and It is a fact that you don't develop fully your skills and personality if you're constantly under supervision.  For me, it is more effective this model because your students will be motivated and eager to learn always thinking what a new experience they could learn in this process.

3 models

Traditional Education
It is a very formal and authoritarian education based in discipline, punctuality and obedience.

Behaviorism
In this models the behavior is modified or altered by changing the enviroment or the rules so that you will get the result you want, very positivist

Constructivism
This is a theory of knowledge in which we construct our own meaning according to our won reality, in this model we can interact with the learning experience

2)
Traditional Education
Jean Piaget
Maria Montesori
William Spady

Behaviorist
Ivan Pavlov
Alan Kazdin
Albert Bandura

Constructivism
Vigotsky
George Kelly
Humberto Maturana

3.-They just have in common the behaviour conduct of students because in the first one we can see that there is an authoritarian form of seeing the position of the students, the second one tries to change the behavior and the last one thinks that the student could construct their own knowledge .

4.-the main differences are: for the first one it is really important being an obedient person, the second one tries to change the environment just to change the students behaviour , and the third one leaves the student creates their own knowledge a particular thing that couldn’t have been thought before for the traditional education..

Presentations

About Comenius I didn't quite understand his MO, but I think I will be very interesting to know more about him.

When we talk about Pablo freire, his way of teaching was more radical and modern than others.

Pestalozzi was really focused on children and how their development is influence by 4 main aspects.

And Rosseau was, undoubtly, a great influence to all of us.
