Cognitivism recognizes the role that experience plays in learning. A leading proponent of this theory was Jerome Bruner who interwove behavioral science into education theory with Cognitivism. Bruner emphasized the role that the political and social contexts play in a learner’s cognitive development (Smith, 2002). His keystone book, The Process of Education (1960), focused on four major themes: structure; readiness; intuition; and motivation (Smith, 2002).
Connectivism also emphasizes the external contexts for
learning. The theory recognizes the rapidly changing social and digital world
in which we live that has catalyzed knowledge production and change (Hamilton, Cross,
Plested & Rezk, 2010). Influenced by the work of philosopher and computer researcher
Stephen Downes and writer and theorist George Siemens, the theory highlights knowledge
development through networks.
