Developmental Learning Theory

     It is apparent to me that Developmental Learning Theory affects all aspects of teaching because of our previous class discussions. However, just as it is hard for me to come up with concrete examples to help students learn new concepts, it is hard for me to think abstractly in order to come up with how DLT informs all aspects of teaching.
     Just as we have been using DLT to learn about learning how to learn best, I think teaching uses DLT in all aspects because often times with teaching we start off at the most concrete examples too. Due to the fact that teachers have been learning for long periods of time, it could possibly be more difficult for them to think of what the most concrete examples could be. Perhaps this is a reason as to why most teachers do not use DLT like they should or atleast none of my previous teachers in high school really did.
     It is just as important that teachers use concrete examples in order to learn themselves as it is that throughout their education, children are taught using concrete examples. This is how I think DLT informs all aspects of learning. Not only do the teachers use DLT to learn the concepts and ways in which they can teach them to their students, but they also use DLT to make learning easier for their students. If DLT is being used positively, it should be used in some way throughout all teaching and learning strategies these days.
