Email from teacher for clarification:
Good morning
students,
You may choose one of
the general theories to discuss if you wish. Some of the theories have mini
theories within them. For example, Constructivism is a general theory; however,
Constructivism also includes social learning and sociocultural theory. You may
choose to discuss Constructivism as a whole or you can be more specific and choose one
of the mini theories within Constructivism. It is up to you and either way is
acceptable.
