<para xmlns:md="http://cnx.rice.edu/mdml/0.4" xmlns:bib="http://bibtexml.sf.net/" id="id26181525">The goal of this assignment is to deepen your
understanding of the similarities and differences between several
of the theories and approaches to learning, and to do so in an
assignment that requires both the "right-brain" (imagination) and
"left-brain" (cognitive) functions together. Please answer the
following:</para>
<para xmlns:md="http://cnx.rice.edu/mdml/0.4" xmlns:bib="http://bibtexml.sf.net/" id="id26181530">
Which theories and approaches to learning fit with your
current attitude towards and/or method of teaching? (3-4
paragraphs)
</para>
<para xmlns:md="http://cnx.rice.edu/mdml/0.4" xmlns:bib="http://bibtexml.sf.net/" id="id26272095">
Which theories and approaches to learning do you disagree
with in part or whole? Describe your reasons.</para>
<para xmlns:md="http://cnx.rice.edu/mdml/0.4" xmlns:bib="http://bibtexml.sf.net/" id="id26272014">
"The Imagined Dialogue" - Imagine a scene, situation, or
setting in which three characters in a short story, play, or myth
meet. Have each of the three characters represent a different
theory/approach to learning or actually be the person who created
the theory. Through that character's words and actions in this
imagined scenario, we will come to know something of his/her point
of view and theory. This work of fiction you are creating may end
up to be a serious, playful, learned, combative, funny, or
all-of-the-above encounter between these three
characters.</para>
<para xmlns:md="http://cnx.rice.edu/mdml/0.4" xmlns:bib="http://bibtexml.sf.net/" id="element-951"> To begin, you may wish to brainstorm the
setting in which the three characters might meet and what each of
the characters is "fighting for" or wants to get from the encounter
(after all, most effective dramas include a desired outcome or
something each character wants to accomplish). You are welcome to
add other characters if you wish, either imagined, real, historic,
or mythic to be active characters or those who simply "push a broom
across the stage." This fictitious meeting of these three
characters (representing each theory) may end up to be 1 page in
length.</para><para xmlns:md="http://cnx.rice.edu/mdml/0.4" xmlns:bib="http://bibtexml.sf.net/" id="id17837722">Be sure to type each of the characters' names
first and tell which theory or approach to learning he or she
represents. Then, type the location or setting for the story, and
tell when it takes place. Follow this by writing the actual 1 -
page story, play or myth.</para>
