From the Paper:

"The role of the teacher also embraces an awareness of the different theories of learning in order to help inform their own practice. Reece and Walker (2003) refer to the main theoretical branches of how people learn - behaviorist, humanistic and cognitivism and suggests that teachers should not stick to just one model but be adaptable and decide which model might best suit their student as well as integrating different aspects of these models at different times for different subjects and for different learning styles."
