- Learning theory (education) - In psychology and education, learning theories are attempts to describe how people and animals learn, thereby helping us understand the inherently complex process of learning. There are basically three main perspectives in learning theories, behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism.
- Constructionism (learning theory) - Constructionist learning is inspired by constructivist theories of learning that propose that learning is an active process wherein learners are actively constructing mental models and theories of the world around them. Constructionism holds that learning can happen felicitously when people are actively making things in the real world.
- Constructivism (learning theory) - Constructivism is a set of assumptions about the nature of human learning that guide constructivist learning theories and teaching methods of education. Constructivism values developmentally appropriate facilitator-supported learning that is initiated and directed by the learner.
- Accelerated language learning - Accelerated Language Learning was developed based on the research and theories of Georgi Lozanov`s suggestopedia. The term is now associated with diverse methods in education that target accelerate learning.
