| - | Connectivism((Not to be confused with [[learning_theories:connectionism]].)) is a new learning paradigm and a learning theory introduced in 2004 by [[http://www.educause.edu/Community/MemDir/Profiles/GeorgeSiemens/57433|George Siemens]]. This theory attempts to approach learning and knowledge in context of technological development during the last few decades, since the impact of technological achievements on learning and knowledge cannot be ignored. | + | Connectivism((Not to be confused with [[learning_theories:connectionism]].)) is a new learning paradigm and a learning theory introduced in 2004 by [[http://www.educause.edu/Community/MemDir/Profiles/GeorgeSiemens/57433|George Siemens]](([[http://www.elearnspace.org/Articles/connectivism.htm|Siemens, G. Connectivism: a learning theory for the digital age. Elearnspace. 2004.]])). This theory attempts to approach learning and knowledge in context of technological development during the last few decades, since the impact of technological achievements on learning and knowledge cannot be ignored. |
| Motivation for introduction of connectivism comes from notion that learning theories in frames of [[learning_paradigms:behaviorism]], [[learning_paradigms:cognitivism]], [[learning_paradigms:constructivism]] and [[learning_paradigms:humanism]] promote the understanding that learning occurs only inside a person.

| - | Some authors like professor of educational design Bijdrage van Pløn Verhagen criticize connectivism for being a pedagogical approach rather than a learning theory, since it doesn't really attempt to explain processes of how people learn. | + | Connectivism is criticized for being more a pedagogical approach and a model rather than learning theory, since it doesn't really attempt to explain processes of how people learn.(([[http://www.surfspace.nl/nl/Redactieomgeving/Publicaties/Documents/Connectivism%20a%20new%20theory.pdf|van Pløn Verhagen, Bijdrage.
