Abstrak

This article explores major learning theories behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism through an epistemological lens and examines their implications for contemporary educational practices. Each theory is analyzed in terms of its view on the nature and acquisition of knowledge, and how these perspectives shape learning strategies. Emphasizing the philosophical foundations behind these theories, the article highlights the importance of epistemological understanding in designing effective and relevant instruction. In today’s educational landscape, a holistic approach that integrates various learning theories is essential for enhancing both teaching processes and learning outcomes. Educators are thus expected not only to master pedagogical techniques but also to grasp the underlying philosophical principles that inform their instructional choices.
