HP 201B FS 2021-2022

After you have studied the philosophical and psychological foundations of teaching and learning, as well as the major learning theories...you have all the tools you need to come up with your own.  The aim is not to be original or creative just  for the sake of being original and creative... but rather  to reflect on everything you've learned and express what you now understand about LEARNING.  Your theory should answer some basic questions:

What is learning?

What are the elements of learning? How do these elements relate to each other?

What conditions are necessary for learning to occur?

In the end please express your theory in a diagram form, and give your theory a title.

This is an integrative assignment so you are expected to draw from the advanced readings, synchronous sessions, and asynchronous discussions you have had with your professor and peers. Please cite your references.
