Learning Theories

Write a research paper based on what you've learned thus far, and do some critical thinking. This project
should be a fun and creative endeavor for you. Compare and contrast each of the learning theories covered in
this course so far. Examine each theory for its strengths and weaknesses. Relate each theory to real life, and
come up with a learning theory based on your own arguments about what the best learning theory is, including
empirical evidence to back up your points. This could be a combination of one or more established learning
theories and original ideas, based on scientific research cited via peer-reviewed journal articles. It could also
be a fresh take on learning that doesn't combine any of the theories you've learned, as long as it's backed up
by evidence that hasn't been formed into a theory yet. Feel free to include diagrams, your own terms, various
aspects of the theories, and other elements. Include an Abstract, Literature Review comparing the various
theories, a discussion section where you propose your own learning theory with compelling arguments, and a
conclusion. Place any diagrams in an appendix section. Include reputable sources from textbooks, peerreviewed journals, or other reputable sources (no encyclopedias, Wikipedia, blogs, or digital magazine
articles), and be sure to reference 15–20 sources. Format your paper in 12 pt. Times New Roman font, doublespaced, using APA style.
