Schools of thought on learning (education)
There are a number of models which are commonly used to describe learning. The models emphasise different elements of a human and organizational learning.
It is important to note that the terms used in this article are not always consistent with those used elsewhere in the wiki
The main schools of thought on learning can be organised thus:
- Behaviorism
- Humanism
- Constructivism
- Cognitivism
- Social cognitivism
Behaviorism
Key concepts
- Environment
- Reinforcement

Humanism
Key concepts
- Self directed learning
- Self actualisation
- Learning as a social process
- Transformative learning

Constructivism

Key concepts
- Exploration
- Meaning
- Learning outcomes depend not only on the learning environment but also on the knowledge of the learner.
- Learning involves the construction of meanings. Meanings constructed by students from what they see or hear may not be those intended. Construction of a meaning is influenced to a large extent by our existing knowledge.
- The construction of meaning is a continuous and active process.
- Meanings, once constructed, are evaluated and can be accepted or rejected.
- Learners have the final responsibility for their learning.
- There are patterns in the types of meanings students construct due to shared experiences with the physical world and through natural language.
