Q Portfolio Activity Unit 1 Review the definition of learning you shared in your initial post in the Discussion Forum. Drawing on the reading (with a focus on the Schunk text) how would you refine your definition of learning, if at all? Explain what, if anything, makes your new definition more complete/comprehensive/inclusive? Concentrating on the Bransford, Brown, & Cocking text, to what extent do you feel your school setting, personal classroom setting, or teaching philosophy approximates student-centered, knowledge centered, assessment centered, and/or community-centered learning environments? Justify with one or more examples from your personal school setting, teaching experience, or research.
