PART 1- Compare and contrast the relative effectiveness of the self-regulation theories: behavioral theory, social cognitive theory, information processing theory, and constructivist theory.

PART2- Now that we are in the final week of the course, you should have quite a bit of knowledge regarding the different factors that influence learning. Pick 1 of the 6 learning questions and provide a supported response.

PART3- Review this week’s course materials and learning activities, and reflect on your learning so far this week. Respond to one or more of the following prompts in one to two paragraphs:

1. Describe what you found interesting regarding this topic, and why.
2. Describe how you will apply that learning in your daily life, including your work life.
3. Describe what may be unclear to you, and what you would like to learn.

**Provide citation and reference to the material(s) you discuss.**

PART4-  

Self-Regulation of Learning

Use published human and animal research and behaviorist, social cognitive, information processing and constructivist theory to develop an outline of a research proposal to measure self-regulation in one of the following fields: 

· Environmental or evolutionary psychology

· Forensic psychology

· Health or sports psychology

· Industrial/organizational or engineering psychology

Select and complete one of the following assignments:

Option 1: Self-Regulation Presentation

Prepare this outline of a research proposal as a 10-minute Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes as if your audience were members of a foundation grant screening committee.

Address the following in your presentation:

· A description of how you are proposing to measure self-regulation

· The operational definitions, limitations, assumptions, hypotheses, and data analysis plans 

· The deficiencies a critic might identify in your statement of limitations and assumptions

Option 2: Self-Regulation Outline

Prepare a 3- to 5-page annotated or expanded outline for review by members of a foundation grant screening committee.

Address the following in your outline:

· A description of how you are proposing to measure self-regulation

· The operational definitions, limitations, assumptions, hypotheses, and data analysis plans 

· The deficiencies a critic might identify in your statement of limitations and assumptions
