Description
There has been considerable debate about definitions of learning and development and their places in theories of psychology and educational practice. Much of what is said about definitions of learning and development depends on the theory of the speaker's persuasion. This special issue addresses a wide variety of domains and a range of theoretical positions including: nativism, behaviorism, structuralism, information processing, the naive theories approach, the sociohistorical approach, and two interstitial theories -- a neo-Piagetian and a nonuniversal developmental theory.
The editor suggests that the notions of learning and development are not fixed and agreed on, but rather they are defined by the theory in which they are embedded. Within this issue, these various positions are arranged as they pertain to theories that imbue cognitive, developmental, and educational psychology. Subsequently, the tensions between these positions and educational practice are addressed.
