-Here we will refer to the following ​learning paradigms and related learning theories:+Here we will refer to named learning paradigms and their related learning ​and instructional design ​theories. A brief overview of the paradigms follows, and more information can be obtained by clicking on each paradigm name.

-  [[Cognitivism]] +    Time line: Since 1910s 
-  [[Humanism]] +    What is learning: Development of desired behavior 
-  * [[Constructivism]] +    Control locus: Environment 
-  * [[Connectivism]] +    * Learner role: Passive 
-  * [[Other Learning Theories]]+    * Learning process: Support of desired or punishing undesired behavior 
 +    * Critics: Ignores learner and his mental processes, depends exclusively on overt behavior

 +  * [[Cognitivism]]:​
 +    * Time line: Since 1960s
 +    * What is learning: Acquisition of new knowledge and developing adequate mental constructions
 +    * Control locus: Learner
 +    * Learner role: Active and central to the process, he learns objective knowledge from external world
 +    * Learning process: An active process of acquiring and processing new information using prior knowledge and experience
 +    * Critics: Views knowledge as objective and external to the learner

 +    * Control locus: Learner
 +    * Learner role: Active and discovery
 +    * Learning process: Active learning through experience
 +    * Critics: More psychologically then experimentally grounded approach based on assumptions of free will and a system of human values which are generally believed to be true, yet impossible to prove and sometimes discredited through counterexamples. ​   ​
