Key concepts in the study of learning.
- community of practice — a group that learns through shared participation in a domain of practice
- constructivism — the theory that learners build understanding by integrating new experience with existing mental structures
- experiential learning — the theory that learning develops through cycles of experience, reflection, conceptualization, and experimentation
- scaffolding — temporary support that helps a learner accomplish tasks beyond their current independent capacity
- situated learning — the theory that learning is embedded in activity, context, and culture
- zone of proximal development — the space between what a learner can do alone and what they can do with guidance
