Abstract

This study explores the relevance of classic learning theories—behaviorism, cognitivism, humanism, and cybernetics—within the digital education era. Using a qualitative literature review, the research investigates how these paradigms adapt to contemporary learning environments. Findings indicate that digitalization requires adapting student activities to enhance access, process, and interactivity. Specifically, behaviorism guides digital reinforcement, cognitivism facilitates active knowledge construction, humanism emphasizes student-centered self-actualization, and cybernetics focuses on information connectivity. The study concludes that classical theories are not obsolete; instead, they must be integrated into a holistic approach. By combining behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and technological dimensions, educators can optimize learning experiences for digital natives while effectively addressing modern challenges like information overload
