The study of learning science includes two areas: 1. How does learning happen in real situations? 2. How to design a learning environment that promotes learning? (For example: physical space and virtual space, formal learning environment and informal learning environment). Learning science is the intersection of multiple disciplines, including cognitive science, computer science, educational psychology, anthropology, and applied linguistics. Learning science is also supported by multiple learning theories, including: constructivism, social constructivism, social cognition, social culturalism and other learning theories.
Learning Science has two international journals (SSCI index): Learning Science Journals and International Computer Supported Collaborative Learning Journals
The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences (Second Edition, R. Keith Sawyer) is an encyclopedia that systematically introduces the field of learning science. The first edition of this book was published in 2006, and the Chinese translation was published in 2009. The second edition of this book was published in 2014, and the Chinese translation has not yet been published. This reading note records the original English version of the second edition of the book.
This article focuses on computer-supported collaborative learning, learning cognition, interests, and motivations.
