Question 1

In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button.

Original Source Material	Student Version
Learning is a complex set of processes that may vary according to the developmental level of the learner, the nature of the task, and the context in which the learning is to occur. As already indicated, no one theory can capture all the variables involved in learning. Reference 1 Gredler, M. E. (2001). Learning and instruction: Theory into practice (4th Ed.). Upper Saddle, NJ: Prentice-Hall. Original Source Material 2 A learning theory, therefore, comprises a set of constructs linking observed changes in performance with what is thought to bring about those changes. Reference 2 Driscoll, M. P. (2000). Psychology of learning for instruction (2nd Ed.). Needham Heights, MA: Allyn & Bacon.	A learning theory is made up of "a set of constructs linking observed changes in performance with what is thought to bring about those changes" (Driscoll, 2000, p. 9). Because learning processes vary based on the readiness of learners, the nature of tasks, and the learning contexts, one sole learning theory cannot explain all phenomenon involved in learning.
