Approaches to design for learning

Abstract

Over the last fifteen years, the field of Learning Design has gained considerable attention among researchers aiming to promote pedagogy informed learning design, and technology-enhanced learning. From the pedagogical perspective, various learning design approaches have been developed within the field. In this paper, we investigate learning design approaches by conducting a systematic literature review, and present key theoretical concepts that underpin their development. Also, we link these approaches with key learning theories, including behaviorism, constructivism, cognitivism, and connectivism. The findings of this study can inform future research in the field of Learning Design.
