Frameworks - Peter Twining
- Achievement
- Cognitive - impact on the individual in terms of how they think and the interaction i.e. focused at the micro level
- software eg category such as drill & skill, role play etc
- pedagogical e.g Squires, D., and McDougall, A. (1994) Choosing and Using Educational software: A Teachers' Guide, London, The Falmer Press in particular the Perspectives Interactions Paradigm where you look critically at the nature of the interaction around computer use. Not just at the machine but all the other activity that's related to the activity of the machine and they are looking at the relationship between teacher, the student and computer, in that context.
- evolutionary - looking at progression and change in the way that ICT has been rolled out.
Learning theory perspectives : GC
Looking across learning theory perspectives, can we distil out the essences of learning? it comes down to quite simple things: reflection, experience, dialogue. What different frameworks or theories or perspectives give you is different lenses. So DL's Conversational Framework, which has been highly influential in HE, certainly very much emphasises the dialogic nature of learning. Its about tutor and student perspective. It isn't so good at the kind of wider contextual aspects, (like Activity theory) ie the relationship between the things and the rules and the community and the division of labour etc.
