Don't forget Benner...
'morning!
In my own field, I find the work of Pat Benner goes a long way to explain professional learning:

Thanks! Very refreshing to see something from a field where I know nothing at all and I immediately pick up a new way of looking at things, the differnce between 'Knowing How' (applied, experience) and 'Knowing That' (taught).

I don't know much about what's going on here! But I won't let that stop me commenting! Is Hagel, Hegel? Isn't he a bit late for the Enlightenment, and Machiavelli a bit early? And being a Linguist, Behaviourism's going to always be a bit iffy (see <URL:http://www.chomsky.info/articles/1967----.htm>).
I would have thought that the GNU movement and Richard Stallman have as much right to be up there as Open Source. But then I don't know anything about the educative context, as I mentioned!

yes, I'm sure it's Hegel, I just spelt it like Bagel. I'll jig it around. All i'm interested in are educational theorists so I rather think Jesus and Mohammed can come out.
