APA guidance
Assess instructional techniques and methods in light of adult learning theory via a field study at a learning center of your choice.
Compile the findings into a report (typewritten, double-spaced, 6–7 pages in length) with the accompanying field notes.
During our Workshop Two, on Feb. 23, 2006, we discussed the need to type the field notes.
We decided that this assignment INCLUDES typing field notes. We also decided that field notes pages do not count towards the paper's length of 6-7 pages.
Note: This clarification added after Workshop Two
The study will include an introductory paragraph, describe where you were observing and why you chose that site, describe what was observed, provide an assessment as to the strength of the learning activity, include connections with the learning styles and theories we have discussed, include any recommended areas for improvment, and conclude with a closing paragraph.
This paper should also include works cited. You should use the APA Guidelines for cover/title pages, headers, and references page.
The Field Study is due Workshop Four.
