This week we explore in Alessi and Trollip (2001) a condense analysis about predominant learning theories in education. I believe these two writers wanted to make clear that we could use many of these theories principles in the different scenarios of the learning process. By this assumption through the chapters of their book, they will explore multimedia technologies and their multiple learning applications. From Walczak’s article about 2020 we were introduce to adventure learning. Alessi and Trollip defined the constructivism view of the learner as and “active creator of knowledge, who learn by observing, manipulating, and interpreting the world around them”(2001, p.17). This is most of what adventure learning considers in its definition. I felt than even after Alessi and Trollip (2001) support the consideration of the advantages of each learning theory we are incline more to the constructivism approach when talking about technology in education.
