What forms do theories take?
In education, we can consider several kinds of theory, each of which attempts to provide models to explain how or why learning occurs. However, all theories continue to grow and evolve and none of them provides a complete explanation of the complex ways in which we learn.
Stoll et al., 2003, page 22What have we learned about learning? First, no one has yet been successful in developing a single comprehensive theory of learning that covers all the kinds of learning that we do, although many great minds since the time of Plato have tried. Instead, we have to be content to deal with a number of theories, each useful in its own way.
