Abstract
Metaphors for learning are metaphors that we use, either explicitly or in an only implicit manner, to describe learning. What often appears as but an innocent figure of speech may in factinform how we think about the topic, what we are able to notice, and what pedagogical decisions we are likely to make. Different approachesto learning may have similar metaphorical underpinnings, and therefore it is useful to categorize them according to their underlying metaphors.
