section 2

Epistemology can be known as knowledge and understanding, according to our text book.  It is a branch of philosophy that deals with the possibility and extent of human knowledge.Instructional methods or theories are concerned with how to help people learn and develop knowledge. The three terms are linking together in the way we attempt to teach, " different epistemology's have different psychological frameworks, which in turns  have different implications for instructional design". Instructional theories are ideas about how learning is accomplished and methods are the educational approach for turning knowledge into learning.  Their primary focus of instructional design is how to structure the material so the acquisition of knowledge and skills are effective, appealing, and efficient.

I would say that I do not 100% agree with any theory, because I see value in each one and there are parts of each theory that i do not agree with  I would have to say though that I would relate more with the constructivismt theory. Constructivism is where learner construct ideas based on past knowledge or experience. The teachers try to connect the knowledge they may already know with new ideas to the learners. Opens the doors for instructors to have a creative discussion and informative class and the learning outcomes may not be the same for every learner.

Looking further into epistemology:Positivism is the thought that there is belief that the knowledge does exist individual dependant. Where as the realist believe that knowledge or thought does not exist but what the learner can construct from relying on some form of instructional methods. This means that knowledge is constructed on individual unique basis rather than a universal thought or significance. 
Problem Solving:Behaviorism is more of the learners being passive responding to stimuli. When a problem arises it would probably carry out that the might try until they were given feedback or until it was correct. In this situation it would go off of positive and negative reinforcements.
