Utilizing one of the five learning theories, design a workshop for returning students on Balancing Work, Family, & Student Life.
Each group is to use an exaggerated version of their theory. For example, behaviourists might test for correct responses to learned material and "reward" participation with a certificate or some other reinforcement; humanists might invite participants to determine their own learning needs; social cognitivists might bring in students who have successfully balanced family, work, and student roles as models or mentors to workshop participants. As each group presents their plan for the workshop, other participants are asked to point out how congruent the plan is with the particular learning theory (or how it might deviate if applicable).
