  • • Learning as transfer - implications: knowledge is portable stuff that can be passed around and the learner is a container
     
    • Learning as corrective change - implications: observable behaviors can be changed and the instructor needs to have objectives in terms of the desired end behaviors from the learner
     
    • Learning as computing - implications: the mind is a computer that processes large quantities of data and the learning is a process of reprogramming mental structures, scripts and algorithms
     
    • Learning as building connections - implications: the human brain is like a neural network where learning is the strengthening or weakening of pathways of neurons
     
    • Learning as self-organization - implications: humans are self-organizing adaptive systems that continuously produces its own components and organization in the context of being embodied, and embedded in a culture and history. Learning is the emergence of new knowledge based on all these contextual factors
     
    • Learning as propogation - implications: cultural ideas (”memes”) are transmitted through humans who act as hosts and transmitters of these ideas. Humans are robots under the evolutionary influence of both genes and memes.
     
    • Learning as coordination - implications: knowledge is distributed and doesn’t reside within any individual. It is partially held by each learner, and is found in collective artifacts made through collaboration
     
    • Learning as participation - implications: learning is also distributed, but is found in the social interaction among individual learners. Learning is always associated with a community, and happens through joint action
