mathetics

Noun.  Mathetics is the science of learning. The term was coined by John Amos Comenius (1592-1670) in his work Spicilegium didacticum, published in 1680. He understood '''Mathetics''' as the opposite of didactics, the science of teaching. '''Mathetics''' considers and uses findings of current interest from pedagogical psychology, neurophysiology and information technology.
