-In knowledge society **theories of learning and teaching** are **the very foundations** of all activities. The **wealth** of scientific work and results in this field during 20th century **is far from being used**, even **far from being known** to all who practice teaching.
-Our **ultimate goal** is **bettering learning** and teaching in practice. Therefore, **we continuously seek** to find a comprehensive yet intuitive, logical and easy to use **overview of learning (and teaching) theories**. This overview is to serve our own research and educational practice as well as to be an easy to use tool for other practitioners. In this process we decided to share our findings with others. These pages are the result. Below you can find [[:web_pages|other similar resources]] we found to be useful.

+In knowledge society **theories of learning and teaching** are **the very foundations** of all activities. The wealth of scientific work and results in this field during 20th century is far from being used, even far from being known to all who practice teaching. The ultimate goal of the authors of these pages is **bettering learning** and teaching in practice. Therefore, in these pages we attempted to create a comprehensive yet intuitive, logical and easy to use overview of **research on theory and practice of learning and teaching**.

-====== A note ======
+If you're not sure where to start, see our [[help|help]] on using these pages and their contents.
-The **text** in these pages **is written by us**. However, it is very hard to avoid wordings, constructs or even whole sentences which are consistently repeated in literature, or are perfectly phrased by some other author. Whereever practical, we took care to **include references** to other authors. **If we failed** to do so in a place or two, it was not by intention to appropriate someones intellectual property, and **please do** [[learning_theories@zesoi.fer.hr?subject=LT wiki - IPR|draw our attention]] to this fact. We systematically check the content of these pages with anti-plagiarism tools like [[http://www.copygator.com/|CopyGator]], [[http://www.plagiarismsoftware.net/|PlagiarismSoftware]], [[http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/|Small SEO Tools]] and [[http://www.dustball.com/cs/plagiarism.checker/|The Plagiarism Checker]].
