Anchored Instruction is a technology centered learning approach, which falls under the social constructionism paradigm. It is a form of situated learning [ 2 ] that emphasizes problem-solving within an integrated learning context, which can be examined from multiple perspectives.
Contextual learning is based on a constructivist theory of teaching and learning. [1] [page needed] Learning takes place when teachers are able to present information in such a way that students are able to construct meaning based on their own experiences.

The worked-example effect is a learning effect predicted by cognitive load theory. [1] [full citation needed] Specifically, it refers to improved learning observed when worked examples are used as part of instruction, compared to other instructional techniques such as problem-solving [2] [page needed] and discovery learning.
Just-in-time teaching was developed for university level physics instructors in the late 1990s, but its use has since spread to many other academic disciplines. Early work was done in the physics department at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) in collaboration with physics instructors at Davidson College and the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA).

In the early 2000s, scholars noted a lack of theory and conceptual frameworks to inform and guide research and teacher preparation in technology integration. [6] The classic definition of PCK proposed by Shulman included one dynamic and complex relationship between two different knowledge bodies: content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge.
