According to Becker (2015), the simplest way to compare the two is that learning theory is based on ideas about how people should learn, while instructional theory is about how people should teach. So the learning theory is better explains as the what happens during the learning process, effects of the learner, and what may be going on in the learner’s head. On the other hand, the instructional side, is the effects that the instructional delivery/learning process has on the learners. It can be further broken down into the ‘how’ one makes teaching effective, efficient, and appealing to learners. This is where mapping strategies are utilized in order to have a graphic to show the logical connection in the instructional process.

Good evening,
Learning theories explain or describe how learners learn and provide educators with various teaching strategies appropriate for a particular learner, course, or content (Keating, 2015). Instructional theories provide approaches or methods to teach and ensure the quality of instruction (Keating, 2015).
A concept map includes expected competencies for students to achieve and indicates where in the curriculum the concept was introduced and mastered (Keating, 2015). Mapping strategies or concept mapping promote critical thinking and clinical competencies by having the students link the concepts or ideas in the schematic diagram and demonstrate how these concepts on the map are interrelated (Keating, 2015). Instructors, at times, use concept mapping to evaluate if the learner has achieved the learning goals by the student’s demonstration of understanding of concepts and the ability to explain the rationale for his or her goals (Jeffries, 2012).

Becker (2015) explains that learning theory and instructional theory are different, with learning theory explaining the learning process and instructional theory detailing how to deliver instruction effectively. Keating (2015) adds that learning theories provide strategies for teaching, while instructional theories provide methods to ensure quality instruction. Concept mapping is a strategy used in both learning and instructional theories to promote critical thinking and help learners understand relationships between concepts (Keating, 2015). Instructors can use concept maps to evaluate learner understanding and achievement of learning goals (Jeffries, 2012). Therefore, both learning and instructional theories and concept mapping are essential components of effective teaching and learning.
