The Learning Sciences in an interdisciplinary field which draws upon educational psychology, cognitive science, anthropology, linguistics and computer science. The module examines learning in formal settings contrasting these with learning as it arises in complex real world settings. We explore learning in a wide range of contexts from primate research to research into expertise in medical settings. These examples will demonstrate the influence of research traditions within the field and will introduce students to works on situated cognition and social cultural approaches, constructivism, and culturalist contrasted with computational approaches to the understanding of mind. We will consider theories of knowledge, problem-based and inquiry learning and their critiques, language and meaning, pedagogy and the design of learning environments.
