The word "model" that is hyperlinked on the article tab does not lead to information about instructional design models. This needs to be corrected.

I don't agree with this part of the article: "A counterpoint to constructivism came in the late 20th century with cognitive learning theory, which provides models based on research on how the human brain processes and stores information."

As far as the discussion goes in Germany, the sequence is behaviourism (Pavlov, Watson, Skinner) - cognitivism (cognitive turn in the 60ies via the integration of cybernetic/systemic models) - constructivsism (by Maturana & Varela, Piaget, von Foerster). The sequence is moving away from the notion of an objective, normative truth, or a reality that is entirely independent from any observer (especially on the social level).

Of course there are tasks, problems and knowledge which could be tied to 'objectivity', like 'how to bind a shoelace?', 'what's the fastest and cheapest way from city A to city B?' or what's the solution to '25 + 6?'. But if you apply the idea of "There's an objective truth for every question out there", then you're on a slippery slope. Take, for example Pres. Bush: „Moral truth is the same in every culture, in every time, and in every place. [...] We are in a conflict between good and evil, and America will call evil by its name.“ Vgl. George W. Bush (2002), „Remarks by President Bush at 2002 Graduation Exercise of the United States Military Academy“. You can't argue with someone who claims he's in possession of the objective truth.

I recommend the lecture of Gödel, Luhmann or Whitehead and Russell. There are and always will be assertions in any given system that are beyond 'true' or 'false', depending on either a formal system of higher order or on belief.

Added three research related references on the preferred use of short text segments for reducing cognitive load in multimedia lessons (in the last paragraph of the section "Cognitive load theory and the design of instruction").WikiWikiRoy (talk) 21:56, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
