The aim of the final paper on the topic “Learning theories - manifestation and application in kindergarten” is to explore how various learning theories - behaviorist, cognitivist, information processing theories, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, social learning theories, and constructivist theories - can be applied in working with preschool children. The theoretical foundations include behaviorist theories that emphasize the importance of classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning, based on Ivan Pavlov’s work, is used to establish new conditioned responses in children, while operant conditioning, developed by B.F. Skinner, relies on the use of reinforcement to shape behavior. Cognitive theories, Piaget’s cognitive-developmental theory and Vygotsky’s sociocultural model, emphasize the importance of internal mental processes and social interaction in learning. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory recognizes the mutual influence of the child and their environment, while social learning theories, particularly Bandura’s theory, highlight learning through modeling and observation. The key findings presented in the paper suggest that the application of learning theories in kindergartens significantly contributes to child development by fostering emotional, social, and cognitive skills. Behaviorist approaches, such as positive reinforcement, have proven effective in motivating children to participate and adhere to rules, while cognitivist methods facilitate the development of critical thinking and independent learning. The application of ecological and social theories allows educators to adapt their methods to the specific needs of each child. In conclusion, the paper confirms the importance of learning theories in shaping educational work in kindergartens, emphasizing their contribution not only to cognitive development but also to the overall health and well-being of children. These theories form the foundation for creating a stimulating and supportive environment that enables children to develop their potential in a way tailored to their individual needs and abilities.
