She talks about how there was a group of scholars which connects to students that were male and female undergraduates at Towson University. She also just brought into account that it was connected to the post formal thought. She quotes that one that is a person from the research is designed for many judgments, selections, and knowledge. She doesn’t talk too much about how the researchers found the information and data for support. She never mentions anything about their hypothesis and how they used methods of using participants in their study. She doesn’t state how they used the participants to scale certain questions. She doesn’t explain the procedure of what the researchers make with the participants finding logical solutions to certain different problems. She then skips through the quote by adding three periods and continuing on to get many judgments, selections, and knowledge, one has to “better understand the complexities and inherent biases in ‘truth’. This means that you have to comprehend the difficulties and have natural tendency in honesty. This barely even connects to the research aside from the results of the research and end of all the information that she skipped. She basically just cut out all the research and just added the information that she needed to have in her topic of what she was talking about, and that was the post formal

    Three learning theories that will be addressed in this discussion are as follows, self-directed and optimized, transformative, and critical reflection. Chen (2014) investigates “adult learners are self-directed and their learning is optimized when their experience is recognized and utilized in the learning process” (p. 407). Adult students are not 'clear slates' and their background turns into the medium through which substance is found out and in which to rethink new objectives to achieve (Chen, 2014). Self-directed is appropriate for an adult due to the connection that is made with their life experiences, the adult is able to plan and implement learning based upon their desire and initiation to learn. Self-directed is inappropriate for children because children rely upon the teacher as the caretaker to their education and implementation of it.…

    According to Erickson, there are eight life stages from infancy until late adulthood and each one is characterized by distinguished psychosocial events. In Erickson’s view development continues throughout the life span and a person needs to solve a crisis at each stage to attain a healthy personality. Furthermore, conflicting possibilities and outcomes characterize each crisis that needs to be solved. The first crisis, “trust versus mistrust”- birth to one year, is based on the reliability of care and affection the baby receives from the primary caregiver, while the next three crises, “autonomy versus shame”- one to three years, “initiative versus guilt”- three to six years, and “industry versus inferiority”- six to twelve years, rely on the ability of caretakers to support and encourage children to develop a sense of independence, social skills, and acquire culturally valued abilities. The four stages mentioned above constitute the groundwork for adult personality.…
