 ===== What is the practical meaning of connectivism? =====
-Connectionism was at its time considered a general theory of learning for both humans and animals. Thorndike's ideas which could well be applied for learning are the idea that rewards promote learning and that repetition enhances learning. In his book on learning of mathematics((Thorndike, E. The Psychology of Arithmetic. New York: Macmillan. 1922.)), he suggested problem should children are expected to solve and learn from should be realistic. For example, learning to multiply by three should be learned in context of converting feet to yards.
