Behaviorism vs Cognitive Theory

   In this post will compare behaviorism and cognitive as a learning theory, and u will decide which one is more better.

   The cognitive theory focus on the student as a center and to construct their understanding of content to which they exposed therefore it will long last in there memory.
Their is 6 level of cognitive domain, it start with the knowledge, comprehension,application,analysis , synthesis, evaluation and at last creation.

   While on the other hand the behaviorism theory focus to change the knowledge by controlled stimulus or response conditioning.
   Behaviorism reward or punish depending on the correct number of answers, while cognitive depend on the motivation theory. 

   Now after reading these few lines which theory you 'll use in teaching? what do u care for marks or future or the students, specially that in behaviorism we don't have any creations or hobbies that can develop in future.
