These 3 theories took me back to 1994-98 when I was being trained to be a social worker. However, then I did not seem to appreciate them as of now, that I am a teacher. I have been putting them into consideration in my pedagogies but wonder why videos made them clearer in terms of innovative pedagogy in e-learning. With e-learning, I think the best of them is constructivism, where now learners need to construct their world based on new innovations, technology, and knowledge in their environment. I am not comfortable with the extreme application of the cognitive theory in our education system. This at times makes them kept in boarding schools and they are withdrawn from the environment. Then it might be hard to assess their behavior and response to the environment and incidents, thus impeding not only their academic but also personal growth.  It releases graduates who if being assessed using Bloom's taxonomy, want to reproduce/recall and do not go higher the pyramid to apply and construct. They find it hard to get jobs and create jobs. They need to be blamed with reservation because the system emphasizes and assesses good grades, not competencies which would come out clearly if all the three behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism are used concurrently.   I have to stop here and wait to sleep. Electricity just went off. My battery is soon running down. I have a big ambition for the night to catch-up. good night. It is 8:38 pm
