Krathwohl and a Sense of Belonging

Krathwohl's affective domain taxonomy is perhaps the best known of any of the affective taxonomies. "[It] is ordered according to the principle of internalization,...the process whereby a person's affect toward an object passes from a general awareness level to a point where the affect is 'internalized' and consistently guides or controls the person's behavior (Seels & Glasgow, 1990, p. 28)".

Bransford

Bransford gave us the educational paradigm of anchored instruction in which learning and teaching activities are designed around an “anchor” which should be some sort of case-study or problem situation.  Curriculum materials also allow exploration by the learner.

B.F. Skinner

Skinner’s entire system is based on operant conditioning.  The organism is in the process of “operating” on the environment, which in ordinary terms means it is bouncing around its world, doing what it does.  Behavior is then shaped due to consequences that results from said behavior.

Robert Sternberg 

Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of (Successful) Intelligence contends that intelligent behavior arises from a balance between analytical, creative and practical abilities, and that these abilities function collectively to allow individuals to achieve success within particular sociocultural contexts (Sternberg, 1988, 1997, 1999).
