What is Learning?

exploring learning: a mind map of my learner-centred approach

May 2021 & Jul 2023

This mind map is a representation of my personal learning theory.

My learning theory is strongly rooted in a learner-centred philosophy. I am influenced by constructivism and experiential theories, which provide constructs to the underlying neuroanatomy.

Overall, learning is a very complex phenomenon and this flow chart only begins to outline everything that learning is.

Originally, this project was made in 2021 as coursework for ETEC 512: Applications of Learning Theories1 in the Master of Educational Technology program2 at the University of British Columbia. I have since updated the flow chart to add more.
