Which theory emphasizes providing students with the entire concept rather than just pieces?

Behaviorism Theory
Constructivist Theory
Whole Concepts Theory
Zone of Proximal Development

The correct answer is: Whole Concepts Theory

The correct answer is C: Whole Concepts Theory. This theory emphasizes providing students with the entire concept rather than just pieces. Instead of breaking down information into smaller parts or focusing on isolated skills, the Whole Concepts Theory focuses on presenting students with complete and meaningful knowledge structures. This approach helps students make connections and understand the big picture, promoting deeper learning and comprehension. Option A, Behaviorism Theory, focuses on observable behaviors that can be learned through reinforcement and punishment. Option B, Constructivist Theory, highlights the importance of students constructing their own understanding of concepts through active engagement and building upon prior knowledge. Option D, Zone of Proximal Development, refers to the range of tasks that a student is not yet able to do independently but can accomplish with the help of a more knowledgeable individual.
