[[glossary#theory|Theories]] within the same paradigm share the same basic point of view. Currently, the most commonly accepted learning paradigms are //behaviorism//, //cognitivism//, //constructivism//, //connectivism//, and //humanism//.((In some resources //social learning// is added as a paradigm, //humanism// or //constructivism// are ignored and //connectivism// is a new paradigm that is still not widely accepted.)). |
