Learning theory, like politics, is full of _isms: constructivism, behaviourism, cognitivism and now a new one, connectivism.
What should we do about these _isms? Are they a useful guide to what to think and do? In October I wrote this on the home page of the learning evolves wiki: Learning theories might help deliver radical curriculum reform. I think that’s why we have all those -isms (constructivism, behaviourism, connectivism, etc.) and that although -isms can be dangerous we still have them and they might be necessary. What I have noticed is that these _isms do not stand still. That premable helps explain my responses to some recent blogs by Stephen Downes which has become a dialogue between him and Karl Kapp about learning theories. ... it remains puzzling that so much of the instructional design community remains rooted in behaviorism - this more than 30 years after the theory was abandoned everywhere else- Definitions: ABCD Objectives.
