| - | Learning theories are usually divided into several [[glossary#paradigm|paradigms]] which represent different perspectives on the learning process. [[glossary#theory|Theories]] within the same paradigm share the same point of view. Currently, the most accepted learning paradigms are behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, connectivism and humanism but there are others as well. | + | Learning theories are usually divided into several [[glossary#paradigm|paradigms]] which represent different perspectives on the learning process.

| - | * Time line: Since 1910s | ||
| - | * What is learning: Development of desired behavior | ||
| - | * Control locus: Environment | ||
| - | * Learner role: Passive | ||
| - | * Learning process: Support of desired or punishing undesired behavior | ||
| - | * Critics: Ignores learner and his mental processes, depends exclusively on overt behavior | ||
| - | * Authors: [[http://www.ivanpavlov.com/|Ivan Pavlov]], [[http://www.bfskinner.org/BFSkinner/AboutSkinner.html|Burrhus Skinner]], [[http://www.muskingum.edu/~psych/psycweb/history/watson.htm|John Watson]] | ||

| - | * Time line: Since 1960s | ||
| - | * What is learning: Acquisition of new knowledge and developing adequate mental constructions | ||
| - | * Learner role: Active and central to the process | ||
| - | * Learning process: An active process of acquiring and processing new information using prior knowledge and experience | ||
