Hi Lucy and many thanks. I have had a few false starts on projects to improve the map. My current interest is to work in a decolonisation direction – what learning theories have arisen elsewhere in the world? Where are the women? How has this influenced the quality of ideas?
The source of the map is made with Cmap which you can find here: https://cmap.ihmc.us/ and the file is on one of the IHMC servers:
IHMC Public Cmaps (3)/Users (create your own folder…)/Hotel EU project (a pig to navigate to…)
It is straightforward to make a copy of the latest version, and then use Cmap to improve your copy. Richard

Thanks again for your work.

I am currently studying a postgraduate course in Lifelong Learning.

Can I ask why Mezirow’s Transformative Learning Theory in not on your map, which by all other means is very impressive indeed?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Marinos

Thank you for your impressive work. I do have one question, however, about the what seems to be an omission in your collection of theories relevant to learning.

My question points to the decision not to include self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2017) in your overview with connection to psychology? It certainly has a lot to say about education and learning, as well as a focus on language learning (Noels et al. , 2003). There are decades of convincing empirical research to support its findings, and it is relevant to not only learning, but motivation and well-being. A missed opportunity to make an important link to learning with a robust theory that is current and relevant to our field.

Btw. I think the map is a very important work!

Best regards,

ps: The installation theory work, seems to have come into prominence shortly after your Ph.D work or about the same time.

Thanks Kris: systems thinking and the concept of learning organisation are clearly valuable perspectives on the framework of learning activity providing analytical support to the manager of an organisation.

What guided my chart, although I do not claim complete consistency, was the question ‘How does change occur in the mind of the learner?’ The broader question of how we should organise education, whether formal or informal, clearly overlaps, but was not the main purpose of this particular chart, but is no less important to address.
