A Comparative Analysis of Social Learning Theory, Experiential Learning Theory, and the ARCS Model of Motivation

Abstract

This comprehensive comparative analysis addresses three prominent pedagogical frameworks, namely social learning theory, experiential learning theory, and the ARCS model of motivation. Each of these models plays an important role in shaping our understanding of learning processes and the factors that motivate learners. The aim of this review is to highlight key features, similarities and differences and to provide educators and curriculum planners with insights into how these theories can inform and enhance the learning experience.
