Theoretical Foundations of Learning Sciences II

851-0369-00L Spring Semester 2024

The learning sciences concerns two interrelated questions: How do people learn? How can we support learning? This course provides an overview of major theoretical perspectives that attempt to describe how learning works, and serves as an introduction to interpreting education as a means of designing learning environments.

Through assigned readings and discussions, students are expected to become competent in understanding cognitive, embodied, and social perspectives on learning and learning environment design, with a focus on human interaction and authentic practices for learners.

Please not that the course will be held in Bern. More information will be provided after registration.
