Please read the Constructivism in Theory and Practice, Rona’s Story and the Theory of Symbolic Interactionism, and Symbolic Interactionism and Critical Perspective articles.

Demonstrate your understanding of the complexities of how we learn by evaluating the potential correlations between symbolic interactionism and constructivism.

Apply basic research methods in psychology to your post by synthesizing the principles from the articles in your own words with appropriate citations. Do not quote the articles directly. Based on your course resources, scholarly articles, and the knowledge you have developed throughout the past four weeks, critically consider how/if these correlations might affect a person’s ability and/or willingness to learn new material. Consider the following in your analysis:

Symbolic interactionism is actually a theory posed in sociological psychology. Do you believe this theory can be aligned with the framework of constructivism, which originates from learning psychology? Why, or why not? Support your statements with scholarly research and personal examples.

In your opinion, what prevents (or substantiates) their correlation?

Based on these theories, what possible needs should be considered when teaching skills to a group of diverse learners?
