Abstract This article will introduce the definitions, merits, and demerits of the four prominent teaching and learning theories and their effects on developing learners' competency. Behaviorism, cognitive, mentalist, and monitoring are the most influential teaching and learning theories. The fundamental distinction between these theories relates to their interpretation rather than their definition. These distinctions are based on several critical problems that ultimately define the instructional prescriptions that emerge from each theoretical viewpoint (Yeoh et al., 2018).
