An enhanced theory of learning including learning from the future
Previous studies showed that combining learning
based on experiences in the past with learning from
an envisioned future scenario results in more
innovative and radical ideas as well as in a higher
number of covered content domains. However, currently there is no holistic learning theory which integrates both sources of learning. The main purpose of our paper is to propose an enhanced theory of learning, linking the two most important sources of learning: learning from past experiences and learning from the future. Our suggested theory, which is based on the learning theory by Gregory
Bateson, will be described in detail. Moreover, we
will present some empirical experiences with the
enhanced theory of learning. (author's abstract
