Tudge and Winterhoff provide a detailed analysis of the similarities and differences between these two theories.
Foot and Howe provide the background outlining connections leading to peer-assisted learning. In particular, they point
out that constructivsm and collaborative learning stem from Piaget's theory of cognitive conflict, and that cooperative learning
stems from Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. Topping and Ehly indicate that peer-assisted learning is an umbrella large enough to accommodate both of these theories. Smite and MacGregor claim the Lewin and Deutsch were important influences in cooperative learning through their social-based and active learning. Kolb's theory of experiential learning draws from Piaget,Dewey,and Lewin. This then forms the basis of Kolb's learning styles and from Jung's theory of psychological types. Adapted and expanded from an initial diagram by Verleger, Figure 2 is useful in tracing the progression and developmental relationship of different student-centered learning theories present in the literature.
