Abstract

A recent article—Conceptualizing Debates in Learning and Educational Research: Toward a Complex Systems Conceptual Framework of Learning—analyzed the long-running cognitive versus situative learning debate and proposes that a Complex Systems Conceptual Framework of Learning (CSCFL) could provide a principled way to achieve a theoretical rapprochement. In this session, we bring together major educational and learning theoreticians for cognitive, situative, embodied, and socio-cultural perspectives to consider, debate, and to perhaps (or not) “rise above” currently engaged major issues, debates, and disagreements that fundamentally influence educational research in a wide range of areas.
