"Fundamentally, the behaviourist model is derived from the stimulus and response theory of Skinner. Under this paradigm, the learner is conditioned to respond based on a stimulus" (Hung, 2001).
Situational Cognition (John Dewey)
"[The] mind is perceived as an aspect of person-environment interaction, where activity involves a transaction between person and environment that changes both" (Hung, 2001).
Constructivism (Piaget and Brunner)
"...whatever gets into the mind has to be constructed by the individual through knowledge discovery" (Hung, 2001).
Social Constructivism (Lev Vygotsky)
"Vygotsky’s brand of constructivism is called social constructivism because he emphasized the critical importance of interaction with people – other children, parents and teachers – in cognitive development" (Hung, 2001)
CSCL
Computer Supported Collaborative Learning

The need for collaborative environments is necessary as the personal computer without interaction of other can become a cave that isolates. The computer can be a medium for connecting people, much like the telephone of Alexander Graham Bell
