What do we really understand by learning? Are theories of learning really necessary? In this thoughtful session, child development expert Sean MacBlain will provide an overview of the most influential educational theorists, highlighting how their perspectives shape what we know about children’s learning and cognitive development today:

• Jean Piaget and intellectual development
• Lev Vygotsky and social constructivism
• Jerome Bruner and constructivism
• Howard Gardner and the notion of intelligence
