Read More »Within a paradigm, a related set of theories all share fundamental assumptions about learning. Across the different paradigms, assumptions about learning differ in significant ways. The discussion in this module categorizes the theories into just four paradigms and highlights the differences among them. But the similarities across the paradigms are also noteworthy: the paradigms all address the big questions; they are all complex webs of ideas; they all provide descriptions of learning and explanations of why and how learning takes place; and they all support sets of recommendations for helping students learn.

Read More »The individual constructivist paradigm puts forth the idea that individuals construct their own knowledge and make sense of it in webs of meaning. "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" – a now discredited biological theory – was based on a similar idea. From this perspective on learning, knowledge exists, from color identification to understanding quantum mechanics, but every individual makes sense of it him or herself – in part based on biologically programmed developmental sequences and in part based on individual experience. Of course, the imperative to make sense of things inevitably causes individuals to make errors, and others (e.g., parents, teachers) must often intervene to help individuals change their subjective and naïve understandings into more intersubjective and sophisticated understandings. The social constructivist and situated learning paradigm also understands "development" as important; but instead of treating it as an individual process of meaning-making, it treats it as a form of collective meaning-making. From the perspective of social constructivists, knowledge is a product of group interaction, and learning involves active engagement with a social group, sometimes referred to as a "community of practice." Cultivating students as members of instructionally relevant communities of practice makes the most sense from the perspective of social constructivism. Note that this outlook accommodates informal, out-of-school learning environments (sometimes called "experiential learning") as well as classroom contexts. One way to get a handle on learning theory is to link individual theorists with the paradigms to which they have made the greatest contributions. The table below categorizes some of the most important learning theorists by paradigm.
