An understanding of theories about how people learn, and the ability to apply these theories in teaching mathematics; It is one of the primary requirements for effective teaching of mathematics, and a large number of scientists have studied mental development and the nature of learning in different ways, and this resulted in various theories of learning.
Existen diversas teorías tales como las de Piaget que son importantes para el aprendizaje inicial de las matemáticas, las de Ausubel son importantes el de memoria para aprender normas, leyes, postulados, el de repetición para aprender recetas, términos lingüísticos, como usos de idiomas, y por descubrimiento todo ello para lograr un aprendizaje significativo. También encontramos la teoría por descubrimiento de Bruner que es importante para que el niño aprenda a explorar su entorno, entre muchos otros.

Thank you for your inspirational question, Alaa Alshebeb !
Personally, I think we should be teaching students how to think, not what to think. What unites and separates all psychology theories? I think it's Constructed Development Theory and self-awareness. Google it.
