- The term Learning Sciences (LS) refers to an interdisciplinary field that works to further scientific understanding of learning as well as to engage in the design and implementation of learning innovations. Research in the learning sciences traditionally focuses on cognitive-psychological and social-psychological foundations of human learning, as well as on the design of learning environments. Major contributing fields include cognitive science, computer science, educational psychology, and anthropology. Over the past decade, researchers have also expanded their focus to the design of curricula, informal learning environments, instructional methods, and policy innovations. As an emerging discipline, Learning Sciences is still in the process of defining itself. Accordingly, the identity of the field is multi-faceted, and varies from institution to institution. However, the International Society of Learning Sciences summarizes the field as follows: "Researchers in the interdisciplinary field of learning sciences, born during the 1990’s, study learning as it happens in real-world situations and how to better facilitate learning in designed environments – in school, online, in the workplace, at home, and in informal environments. Learning sciences research is guided by constructivist, social-constructivist, socio-cognitive, and socio-cultural theories of learning. " ISLS has a large worldwide membership, produces the "Journal of the Learning Sciences. ", and sponsors the biennial International Conference of the Learning Sciences. Although controlled experimental studies and rigorous qualitative research have long been and continue to be employed in Learning Sciences, LS researchers most commonly employ Design-Based Research methods in which interventions are conceptualized and then implemented in natural settings in order to test the ecological validity of dominant theory and to develop new theories and frameworks for conceptualizing learning, instruction, design processes, and educational reform. All this allows the generation of principles of practice beyond the particular features of an educational innovation in order to solve real educational problems, giving LS its interventionist character.
- Las Ciencias de la Educación son todas las disciplinas interesadas en el estudio científico de los distintos aspectos de la educación en sociedades y culturas determinadas. Se distinguen: Sociología de la Educación, Economía de la Educación, Antropología de la Educación, Historia de la Educación, Psicología Educacional, Pedagogía, Didáctica, Filosofía de la educación, Educación Comparada y Politíca Educacional, entre las más significativas.
