Learning Theories: Urban Legends About Education

Hi Writer, Happy New Year. I hope I can continue to work with you this semester. For all the cited references/sources, please use the required readings first and then add other resources as needed. I have shared my school library login info and you can search the databases. Week 2 (W2) order includes 2 discussion posts, replies to classmates posts that I can provide later after our submission, and the assignment. The assignment is more important as it counts for more points. You may want to save some of the required readings since we may need to reference to them for the final papers/projects. I have pasted the course materials with the order and also uploaded the required readings. I will try to place the orders earlier to leave us enough time to revise. I don’t really know the number of sources/references needed for this assignment, but minimum three seems reasonable.Week 02 Discussion 01: Urban Legends About EducationDue: Post your response by end of Day 4and reply to one of your classmate’s posts by end of Day 7InstructionsWhich “urban legend” about education from the Kirschner van Merriënboer article did you find most surprising?
