Over the past 6 modules, you have read and listened to a variety of theories and opinions regarding how humans learn. In this discussion, you’ll need to go back into your texts and examine the sections that discuss how theories have translated into practice. Given that we have read a tremendous amount, select two different theories that you have used in prior modules, and discuss how these theories were used by educators to improve/influence their teaching, understanding of learners, and their classrooms. In your post, please do the following:
Identify and define the theories (don’t forget to cite!)
Discuss how these theories translated into practice as per your texts (Hoff, 2014 and Tracey & Morrow, 2017)
If you’re planning on teaching, please include in your post how these two theories will impact your teaching and understanding of learners. OR If you’re not teaching, discuss why you think teachers ought to understand these theories and why these theories are helpful to pedagogical practices.

Final Project Topic Selection

PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID ON THIS ASSIGNMENT IF YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE LINKS WITH THE REQUIRED MATERIALS, THANK YOU !!!!
ALSO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
For this assignment, you must upload your topic on a word document for your final project (see M7 Choices below)) into the assignment area for this module. I don’t expect this to be more than a brief paragraph unless you have many questions.  This assignment is mostly so I know you are aware of the final project, have a focus, and are beginning the research process. 
M7 Assignment Choices
CHOOSE FROM THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS
For this final paper, please choose one of the following and please note you are not allowed to choose Maslow’s Hierarchy as we have covered that in depth:
* Choose an area of human learning (ex. language or literacy) and trace it through the life span. Discuss how this learning occurs in early childhood (age 0-4), elementary (age 5-10), adolescence (age 10-19) and adulthood (age 20+). Your paper should include the major theories, theorists, and research, and explore the learning that occurs before, during, and beyond school in your selected area (meaning, you discuss how the learning happens at home, in school, and adulthood)
* Discuss human learning through the lifespan. What types of things do we learn at each stage of our development: early childhood (age 0-4), elementary (age 5-10), adolescence (age 10-19) and adulthood (age 20+). For example, you might say early childhood is focused on language and literacy acquisition; elementary age continues with language but learns what else?; adolescents…. adults? Use your readings, major theories, theorists, and research in your paper.
* Discuss how learning about theory impacts you in your current field or your future field. For example, if you are planning to teach, how does understanding literacy development, for example, help you become a stronger teacher? How does the theory and research impact your work? In your paper, discuss the major theories, theorists, and research within the context of your chosen field.
* You may also email me what you would like to write about. Your paper must include theory, theorists, and research, and its importance in human learning so keep that in mind when you write to me. You can explore things like the importance of play, the development of social identities, the impact of culture on learning, learning in adulthood, learning in adolescence, etc. This paper could explore something you hoped we would learn more about.
