- Constructivism: Knowledge is constructed based on interaction with the environment and existing knowledge
- Socio-Constructivism: Social interaction is key to knowledge acquisition
- Meaningful Learning: Relates new knowledge to existing knowledge
- Learning by Discovery: Effective learning is obtained when learners solve problems, also transferring this to the real world.
- Social Learning: Learning occurs within a social setting. Modelling is important.
- Successful Intelligence Theory: People learn and process information differently; each individual has several intelligences.
- Gestalt Theory: Form, shape, and configuration as the basis of understanding

- Preoperational Stage (2-7 years): Rapid growth in symbolic thought, egocentrism (difficulty seeing things from other's perspectives).
- Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): Logical thinking about concrete events and objects; conservation emerges.
- Formal Operational Stage (11 years and above): Abstract and hypothetical thinking; deductive and inductive reasoning develop.
