Kerr and Knap share in their blogs their personal stances on the evolution of learning theories and their respective places in the educational arena. Kerr (2007), stated that _isms offer us something useful without being complete or stand alone. I agree with his statement because I think that as learning theories have been studied, each new theory somehow stemmed from a previous school of thought. Using _isms as a filter instead of a blinker to guide us thorough how we learn is a great way to look at these evolving theories (Kerr, 2007). Kapp (2007) also stated that learning is multi-faceted and should be treated as such. I agree with Kapp’s statement because learning does occur differently from one person to the next. I think it is best to take a little from each theory and use them according to the individual needs of the student.
