Questions


➢ Obviously these two studies are about different educational problems or issues. What if the
learning theories underlying them were switched? Could a stuttering program be built
around constructivist principles of learning, and a health education program be built
around behaviorist principles? What would each program look like?
➢ Be a skeptic for a moment. What do you suspect might be the hardest part of
implementing behavioral conditioning for stuttering described by Onslow? And what
might be hardest part of implementing the constructivist program about health education?
