17. The student should design a research plan on learning between classical and procedural theory, indicating the role of the learner in each.

18. The student should design a visual presentation with slides in which he explains learning from the perspective of Gestalt theory, Piaget, Guthrie, Hull, and Pandora.

19. The student should participate with his colleagues in a working paper on the basic idea of Rutter's social learning theory, Dönders and Abinghouse's information processing theory.

20. The student should design a concept map in which learning is explained from the perspective of the evolutionary basic theory of nature Darwin Fischer, by Dawidmorgan, Estes' Mathematical Learning Theory

21. The student discusses orally the assumptions of Rutter's social learning theory
