Assignment Problem: Focus on a discussion of fundamental concepts related to the major theories of cognitive development. Attempt to synthesize some of the theories we have examined. Then, attempt to apply them to your learning experiences in school.
Answer the following:
Q1. What was the style of learning you experienced in the elementary grades? In high school? College? How does the schooling you encountered seem to "fit" - if at all, regarding the various theories presented in the texts?
Q2. Did the method of schooling have an impact on your expectations about learning? (Was going to school enjoyable, or was it drudgery - or somewhere in between?)
Q3. Comment on how an understanding of these theoretical approaches might have made school more or less effective (or enjoyable) for you.
