Comparing Learning Theories (OC, Cognitive Theory & SLT)

A Level PE – Skill Acquisition (OCR)
Complete Lesson + Matching Student Notes

This lesson brings together all three core learning theories—Operant Conditioning, Cognitive Theory, and Social Learning Theory—and supports students in comparing, contrasting and applying them to real sporting situations. Learners evaluate the strengths and limitations of each theory, identify when each approach is most effective, and complete applied scenario tasks to deepen understanding.

The PowerPoint is clean, simple and classroom-ready, with student notes that match the slides exactly. Includes paired and group tasks, mixed-mark exam questions, and a clear structure to develop AO1, AO2 and AO3 skills.
