After reading Donald Clark’s post promising a series of pieces on 50 learning theorists (in 50 days) I was rather startled to see that only one woman (Ruth Colvin Clark) was mentioned, and then only as a co-author. I wouldn’t claim to be any kind of an expert in learning theory (an interested amateur, if anything) but it struck me as – at least – statistically unlikely that only men had ever made significant contributions to our understanding of learning and education.
I was unprepared for the awesomeness that ensued. Huge kudos to Frances Bell, Helen Beetham, Josie Fraser, Catherine Cronin, Anne-Marie Cunningham, GNA Garcia, Jennifer M Jones, Pat Parslow and others.:
