H809-13. Flummoxed


The more I read about learning theories, the more confused I get...NONE of these papers seems to draw the boundaries clearly. Here is but a wee example of how my thinking is made flabby: Conole et al. (2004) say that most learning theories can be mapped to three broad approaches: behaviourism, sociocultural and constructivism (18); Jonassen and Rohrer-Murphy (1999) lump together CLEs, sociocultural theories and Activity Theory. It was suggested by the course notes for Week 7 that the main outlines were behaviourism, cognitive and sociocultural (and this was the only explanation that made sense to me). I am just at sea.
