Educational Comparison: Adult Learning

Select a character from The Color Purple that you see as exemplifying adult learning (I was thinking about the character, Celie). Think about how the theoretical perspectives you have chosen (I need to use two theorist’s perspectives) can be used to explain the character’s learning and development.

Compose and submit an essay that analyzes the character’s learning through the perspectives of the two theorists you chose. Be sure to describe the character’s learning. Explain the character and the context clearly and completely enough for any reader to make sense of your analysis. Through the perspective of each theorist, analyze what caused the character to learn.

Compare the two theories in terms of their explanatory power; that is, in terms of how well each theory explains the character’s learning.
