Source Material: Theories differ from philosophies and
models of teaching. A philosophy is a value system, whereas a
theory seeks to explain real-world events and can be certified
through scientific investigation. Models of teaching are
approaches to the management of some aspect of classroom
instruction and they may not be independent of subject area,
grade level, age of the student, or the setting for learning. A
characteristic of learning theories is that they address the
underlying psychological dynamics of events. Thus, they provide
a mechanism for understanding the implications of events related
to learning in both formal and informal settings. |

Explanation: This example of student written work is
plagiarized. The student used several passages from the original
work and inserted them into original prose, however this is
still an example of word-for-word plagiarism. No credit was
given to the author in the text and quotation marks were not
used, and also the work was not listed in the references. |
Explanation: An indented block is used to indicate that this
passage is a word-for-word quotation and the pages where it was
taken from the original document. The original author of the
content is cited at the end of the passage and in the reference
section as well. |
