Introduction
Welcome to the Webquest! Have you ever wondered why you and are friends learn and act so differently? Do you want to learn more about yourself individually as well? Well, in this Webquest you will be tasked with learning about three theories of learning and behavior:Cognitive Psychology, Behaviorism, and Social Cognitive theory. This Webquest will task you with learning about each theory and crafting a presentation! The presentation will be shared with the class. At the end of the Webquest, you will have the knowledge and be able to explain each theory. Happy learning!
Task
