Personal Perspectives on the Emergence of the Learning Sciences: 1970s–2005

We describe the emergence of the interdisciplinary learning sciences field and its consequential transformations, drawing on experiences that brought us together. Starting with our undergraduate years, the account culminates with the formation of the International Society of the Learning Sciences (I...
