Active Learner

In addition to my personal challenges my personal strengths interfer. A personal strength I have is talking , I love sharing my opinion. Another personal strength I have is giving good advice because I love helping people solve their problem or help make their lives easier. Lastly another personal strength I have is just listening because I am a good person to vent to because I don’t judge. Therefore I always spread positivity and lean a hand.

Personally I believe that I am organised, I always carry round a diary, where I note down important dates and deadlines, and therefore allowing me to manage my time more efficiently. Another strength that I have is that I know how to operate a computer and I know how to use a computer effectively, at GCSE I got a B in my exam in Information and Technology, therefore giving me an advantage compared to someone who do not know how to use the computer. I also believe that I am confident, and that I have courage and the ability to speak to new people and adapt myself to a new environment without feeling uncomfortable. As well as that, I am also able to work in a group, where I can listen to my members in my group as well as voice my own opinion.

Two other weaknesses are time-management and organization. These two goes hand in hand and I realized that I suffer tremendously from lack thereof and have found multiple solutions to help enhance these weaknesses as I expressed in the IDP. I feel these two will be challenging as well because I realize that organization at work is limited. It is much more of filling in the gaps and

I have a strong work ethic because I am productive and I work at a fast enough pace which helps me manage my time and complete my assignments. A weakness of mine is getting distracted easily. I love to communicate with my friends which is usually the reason why I am behind because I lose focus and stop paying attention. In Language Arts, writing an essay was another weakness of mine because we never got the opportunity to do peer responses and revise our work; but I was able to demonstrate my understanding of figurative language when it came to writing. Another strength of mine which helps me in Language Arts is time management because it helps me keep track of my work and complete assignments on time. These are some skills that are necessary for me to succeed

“Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is a process, working together is success.” - Henry Ford. Some ways I am strong in a group include leadership and responsibility skills and being honest and straightforward. I am good at being a leader and make sure everything happens right, I do this by keeping track of time & making sure everyone understands what we are doing. I am honest and straightforward in that I will tell people if they are making a mistake or doing a problem wrong. I will also accept the fact that I am wrong sometimes, when I am wrong I try not to take the answer from somebody and I find another way to do the problem. Although I have these strengths I have weaknesses to go along with them. For instance when I try making sure everyone knows what we are doing I take charge and assign everybody a job rather than letting everybody work it out. Sometimes I am also very forceful when telling somebody they are incorrect, I could work on

My weak area was the self-regulation portion; most of my responses to how often I handled each situation were “usually.” I need to improve on controlling my feelings in certain situations, trying to be more aware of tasks and their proposed deadlines, managing my time wisely, and executing new ideas that I myself have formulated. Other weaknesses were found in most of the areas where my strengths were. Most of them involved taking risks, which my personality often deters me from engaging in.

Had my own weakness in school and early college days. May be because of my daydreaming even while I was reading out loud, or may be because of my lack of concentration. Had the will to learn more, but did not know the method. Therefore, used to spend a lot of time studying without understanding it.

Each child in different stages has different behaviors and interest. Based on my observation of children in the middle childhood stage, I have seen them think more differently and logically than early childhood stage. In this stage they like to choose what they want. According to Piaget, at this stage a child develop logical thinking, hypothesizing abilities, possibilities to grow in understanding and knowledge, develop critical thinking and analytical skills and choose what is appropriate for them. Therefore, in the museum we need to create protective strategies and think about ways to make them learn better, supplement their

Upon taken the study skills quiz my first score first was active. I was a reflective learner, which prefer to think about it quietly at first versus being an active learner. I am not an active learner. An active learner tends to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it. If a student was an active learner in my classroom I would use the phrase, “Let’s try it out, move around, and visually do it to see how it works.” It tells the student that I am willing to be active instead of sitting down all the time. By being active it keeps the student moving and focused on the activity. (Scruggs, 2017) With an active learner, I would also try to do group work more often so that each member can talk and be personable with each other. (Soloman, n.d.) By doing activities in group work will also help an active learner retain information. If a math lesson

“Award-winning teachers with the highest evaluations can produce the same results as teachers who are getting fired.” He asserts that he is “far more interested in learning than teaching,” and envisions a shift from “teaching” to “helping students learn.” The focus moves away from the lectern and toward the physical and imaginative activity of each student in class. The active-learning approach challenges lecturers to re-evaluate what they can accomplish during class that offers the greatest value for students. Mazur cites a quip to the effect that lectures are a way of transferring the instructor’s lecture notes to students’ notebooks without passing through the brains of either. (He also likes a quote from Albert Camus: “Some people talk

Autodidactic, Active Learner - Active learning is a learning style whereby the student is tasked to inquire, gather, analyze and perform higher order reasoning. The active learning strategy attempts to engage the student on a spectrum of communication types. Active learning stimulates different regions of the brain and the simultaneity ties them together. For instance reading activates the visual cortex, listening the temporal lobe, writing the cerebellum, analyzing the prefrontal lobes. This is also know as whole brain learning. This is aptly described in the adage “Cells that fire together, wire together. The student that is able to learn independently of a formal class is called a self-directed learner or autodidactic. To be a self-directed learner the student must rely on self motivation. This is also referred to as

The realization that learning increases with the incorporation of student engagement activities (CITe the CHART RESEARCHER) was just that: evidence that student involvement in the learning process increases learning. It was not a prescription to abandon the lecture, entirely. Yet somehow over the years professionals have taken to the practice of thinking dichotomously about teaching falling into one of two categories: 1) passive learning and 2) active learning. Furthermore in such instances we are lead to think that all passive learning is bad teaching and to the

In primary schools all over Ireland today there are a range of teaching methodologies used by primary school teachers. These methodologies include active learning, guided discovery, talk and discussion, problem solving, collaborative learning, using the environment, skills through content, use of ICT, free exploration of materials, learning through play and direct teaching. Some of these methodologies are more effective in the primary school than others. Both, collaborative learning and active learning are excellent teaching methodologies, they are both extremely effective in the way that they promote pupils interest, foster the motivation of the students and develop the quality of the students learning in the primary school. Both methodologies

My greatest strength as a student is my perseverance. No matter the difficulty of an assignment, I choose to give it my all until the end. For example, a challenge I have faced several times as a student is working with uncooperative peers. With such a difficulty, I choose to stay calm and compromise ideas with others to solve the problems. Nevertheless, if the problem is not resolved I will continue to work on the assignment until it is complete with the my best work. I have noticed that I am not discouraged by such problems, but instead use these complications as learning points in my educational experience. However, considering my strength I have a promising weakness to balance out my work habit; I am a
