1.What is your definition of learning?
2.Who are the prominent theorists (or theories) most aligned with your theory?
3.According to your theory:
a. What is the process of learning? How does learning occur?
b. What are the important outcomes of learning?
4. What personal experiences have you had as a student that contribute to this theory?

Your First and Last Name
Columbia College
A page break should be inserted here (as I have done). This ensures that the next page will always begin at the top of the page, even if you edit.
Paper Title
Begin your introduction here. Do not write “Introduction” under the paper’s title.
Definition of Learning
The words “Definition of Learning” above represent a heading. In APA format there are several levels of headings. For the purposes of this paper you need to use Levels 1 and 2, which are both bolded and capitalized in title format. Level 1 headings are centered, and Level 2 headings are flushed left.
Each of your headings should appear in this same format. Note that the heading is NOT underlined or italicized.

For this section, as well as your Experiences and Conclusion, you need only a Level 1 heading.
My Personal Learning Theory
