This is number 11 in my series of short posts on learning theories. My intention is to work through the alphabet of psychologists and provide a brief overview of each theory, and how it can be applied in education. In this post, we continue to explore Festinger''s work, this time focusing on his theory of cognitive dissonance.

In the post I made the remark that today's learning needs to be personal, social and global, all of which can be mediated through technology. Keith asked me 'Does learning always need to be social?' This of course is a profound question, and one which demands some good theory and reflection. 1977) Social learning theory.

The personal learning environment (PLE) is still a bone of contention. Over at the Open University of Catalonia, in Barcelona, Ismael Peña-López has been doing some stirling work on theories surrounding Vygotsky's learning model and PLEs. Ismael starts by simplifying Vygotskian theory. Unported License.

In his 2003 book 'Six Degrees', Duncan Watts expounded the idea of being connected in the digital age, drawing upon the theories of psychologist Stanley Milgram. Watts, for example, discusses the nature of biological viruses and uses the concept as a means to develop his ideas and theories around social connections in a digital world.

Teacher roles have been moving from didactic to facilitative roles ever since constructivist theories started to enter into teacher training curricula. Secondly, as partly as a result of the first trend, learners are becoming more central to the learning process. That gives them personal ownership of their learning.

Don't worry though, there's a theory for everything, including chaotic forms of learning. Post modern theories of society are often difficult to comprehend, largely due to the dense and at times inscrutable style in which post-modernist theorists write. How do teachers engineer such learning opportunities?

Many keep libraries of books, journals and other media on their shelves, used for reference to remind them of theories, principles or methods they wish to recall. Some represent their learning through their conversations , both face-to-face and virtually through social media, with their colleagues, scholarly friends and associates.

Thankfully some schools are now adopting this approach through for example, APP - Assessing Pupil Progress , or PLP - Personal Learning Plans. It was entitled: Personalised Learning: Ambiguities in Theory and Practice. Reading the paper made me think hard about what we actually mean by personalised learning.

In Deschooling Society , Illich called for personal learning through informal learning networks, and rejected the funnelling approach of mass, unidirectional, instructivist education systems. I suppose we have Jean Piaget and his fellow 'stage theory' psychologists to thank for that kind of constrained thinking.

What can we learn from digital curation of content? Let''s start with some theory: According to the revised Bloom''s cognitive taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl, ''creating'' is suggested as the peak of achievement. You may also have dialogue with your personal learning network as you discuss that content.

There are the formal, classroom based collaborative spaces and there are the informal, non classroom spaces where we learn most of what we know in interaction with others. Then there are the virtual, online spaces where many of us are increasingly spending our time collaborating, conversing and sharing with our personal learning networks.
