    Description

    Over a number of years learning theory has developed rapidly; old theories are continuously modified and refined and, new theories are developed. The field of learning theory has become massively complex with different foci, founders and proponents, schools, and disciplinary approaches.

    The discipline ‘theory of learning’ is still in its infancy, and there is much work to be done in order to be able to discuss various definitions of learning and position the concept of learning in a multidisciplinary landscape. There is a need for a modernised and refined conception of the field of learning theory, in particular the role of learning theory in pedagogical and educational research and practice.
