This research work reviews the related literature for such theories and models, identifying and opting for 16 such approaches of different era and perspectives. Initially 298 observational notes and memos as codes were synthesized into 83 concepts. Later, following transition through 4 episodes of data organization, these were analyzed to identify themes and commonalities, present in the different learning models and theories. Islamic approach towards learning has also been discussed. 10 themes were identified as a result of data analysis.
