Why Study Learning Theory?

November 7, 2007

Why study learning theory?

Learning theory is descriptive - philosophy about how learners learn
Going from learning theory to practice is difficult because practice is prescriptive, not descriptive
Learning learning theory can help an instructional designer choose (“cherry pick”) from the different theories as they design.
An eclectic pragmatist.
We are the arrows connecting the two!
