Abstract

This article presents an analysis of TALA, the Theory of Multi-Environments, an educational theoretical framework of Colombian origin that radically redefines the understanding of learning by recognizing the systemic influence of diverse environments. Grounded in elements of constructivism and Darwinian evolution, the theory identifies eight categories known as environmental spheres that govern the learning process of individuals. This multidimensional approach, necessary due to the complexity of the educational phenomenon, not only offers new pathways for educational research but also proposes a paradigmatic model capable of transforming how formative processes are conceived and designed. The authors of the theory argue that by deeply investigating each environment and its influences, it is possible to spark an educational revolution with global implications.
