How people learn

how can we describe the learning process theoretically? (follow link to theories of learning mindmap)

Is there an unchanging, universal way of "how people learn"?

Does it depend on the culture?

Can cross-cultural learning environments lead to some "cross pollination" or "mutual inspiration"? Can we "learn how to learn" from people outside our own cultural sphere?

Are "Western" insights into "how people learn", when applied to learning processes in other cultural settings always and by necessity "colonialist"?

What can Western civilization learn from Eastern / Asian approaches to learning?

What can Western civilisation learn fom African approaches to learning?

Which cultural patterns do we need to take into account, when designing learning environments?

Are western ways of learning the only possible (legitimate) ones?

Or does it depend on the time?

Will people in the near future learn differently than we do? only slightly or fundamentally different?

Were mayor developments in educational systems and approaches in modern times (say in the 16-20 century) influenced (motivated) by the way people learn? Or did they, vice versa have an impact on that?

Did people in antiquity or in the middle ages learn differently than we do?

What are the most common ways of how people learn?

alone or in a group

can modern technology also blur these distinctions?

from a teacher or as an autodidact

does that distinction still hold in the online-age?

which is better?

Through personal experience

by frequent repetition (practice, exercise)

what if we repeat the wrong thing? Is it more difficult to un-learn and re-learn than to learn from scratch?

through a thorough theoretical understanding of a given task

Is it always desirable / advantageous that a learning process should include elements of "understanding why?"

which kinds of tasks or knowledge can only be learned once the theoretical background is understood?

by following an inspiring book or lecture

Can other media or was of learning ever substitute a good book or lecture? Or are they merely supplements?

Can other media help to extend beyond what books and lectures can do?

What will happen to books and lectures as main medium of learning in the age of ubiquitous technology?

What makes the difference between an excellent textbook / lecture and a mediocre one?

by trial and error

Are there certain learnig areas where this approach is unsuitable?

Why does this seem to be a rather effective learning strategy?

Is the experience of failure a necessary part of learning?

by imitation

Is this a very effective way?

what role does / can modern technology play in the way people learn?

Could it happen that some technologies have a potential to damage the "way how people learn"? Or is the use of technology always something good, when it comes to learning?

Do different "ways how people learn" lend themselves equally readily for an integration with technology based teaching methods?

if no, what makes a particular "way of learning" "technophil" or "technophob" (open or resistetnt, respectively, to the integration of technology) into the learning process.

Which "ways how people learn" could profit most from adding technology support?

Does the "how" depend on the "what"?

Are there certain approaches in the "how" of learning, which are suitable for one, but not for another type of content or field of learning?

do we learn how to solve a differential equation the same way we learn how to pray or to play guitar or how we learn Spanish vocab?

do all people learn in the same way?

Should people be told how to learn best? Or should they rather be encouraged to find out for themselves?

What can I do, if my personal, optimal way of learning does not fit the general pattern of what is "scientifically proven" to be best?

do individuals all have their own, individual way of learning?

haptic

visual

auditive

Is there a particular way how, statistically speaking, the majority of people learn?

Is there a "one size fits all" paradigm of learning?

Are there ways of learning that are better than others?

is it possible to design a "best" way of learning?

can we explain, why?

Since we continue to learn about learning, should not our "learning design" (and our teaching) become better and better over time?

do theories of learning help us to understand, why certain ways of learning work better than others?

According to which criteria?

According to "scientific" considerations, based on observation and learning paradigms?

according to "objective" instruments of assessment?

according to the learning experience of the learner?
