The different theories provides a specific way of being able to look into learning and the basic ways that will make learning possible. Using the different theories as a guide, the curriculum creators will be able to consider and explain the role of each and every learner and how learning takes place in various ways. A number of theories provides a context for learning, basic motivation and teaching methods, and these have implications for the design and delivery of instruction. Furthermore, different theories are well-matched to different learning outcomes and different students’ profiles.
