Becoming a Lifelong Learner

One educational opportunity that I never would have thought would even have been an opportunity was my decision to go to community college. While I used to feel as though I had to prove myself by going to a 4-year university right away, at College of the Canyons, I have actually learned more about myself and my academic ethics. I used to feel that community college was a barrier, separating me from my university dreams. However, without my community college journey, my academic passions and endeavors might not have been the same. I have used this time to learn how to be more assertive as well as more willing to problem solve and think out of the box. Since my goals were not handed to me on a silver platter, the community college process has

 It was neat reading about your mom. Were you surprised to see you two had the same learning pattern? If I had to guess my mom, I would say she's a Strong-Willed learner. Myself, being a Dynamic Learner. One area we clash in, is our Sequence. She follows instructions very well, where as I have a tendency to skim through everything. Her patience is outstanding. Also, my mom has this natural way of risk taking. She never lets fear intimidate her when change is due. Myself, on the other hand, not so much. With our differences, it sure has made for some really comical moments. I don't know about you, but I thank God everyday for

The purpose of this assignment is that I will be reflecting on my own engagement in professional relationships and establish key skills that underpin lifelong learning. I will also be looking into how to perform evidence-based practice and reflect on my capabilities and weaknesses identified in my SWOT analysis (see appendix 1) and personal development plan (see appendix 2).

Where does one go to college, to further their academic education, while also having qualifications, time, and money restricting them? The simple answer to this question is Community College. Individuals regularly struggle to attend college, either after high school or later in life, because of the difficulties of attending major universities. Therefore, community college is crucial, to people of all ages, wanting to further their education.

In conclusion, community college is an open book for everyone, where students have a self-discovery when learning while being on able to afford tuition and save money. Writer’s Liz Addison and Rick Perlstein wrote an essay for “New York Times” about a topic: college. Perlstein wrote in “What’s the Matter with College?” that college doesn’t matter as it used to be while Addison fired back with benefits and a recommendation for community college on Addison’s essay, “Two Years Are Better Than Four”. Addison called out Perlstein about how Perlstein has given up on self-discovery when coming about to college as an adult. Addison reminded both audience and authors alike that community is rarely brought up in mediums such as social media. Community

Community college may seem like a school for underachievers, but in reality, its programs cater to many different individuals: High school students, adults returning to pursue (or finish) a degree, and people who are interested in taking recreational classes. Many community college students are programmed differently and they have different studying techniques and their own set pace for learning. The great thing about community college is that it can accommodate all of these individuals. Community college provides the tools and the know-how to help their students succeed. The affordability of community college, student enrichment programs, and smaller class sizes are just a few of its most desirable attributes. Despite the facts, there is a still a stigma surrounding the

Motives for Self Learning Many factors cause individuals to learn more about themselves that they would have gone ignorant to otherwise. From three different books there are ample examples of this. For instance, in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Bernard Marx is born into an utopian society and later meets John the Savage who was born in a less advanced society and both go through constant self learning. More example come from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein is born in an affluent European family and through his studies find the key to life and creates a monster that takes time to understand who he is.

The argument, however, serves to highlight how the two types of knowledge that can help prosper the student’s comprehension of education in school. The curriculum for school courses should emphasize on the strengths which the students could relate to into their own personal identity and characteristics. At first, the school courses should have an equal balance of school and work experience - not only cooperative education, letting the students broaden their horizons from the textbook and into the world. As the students become more familiar with the school/work transitions, they will begin to discover different and new qualities about themselves - whether it's positive or negative. Every individual differs, and when they are provided with different educational opportunities, they will fulfill the certain limit of knowledge they require in order to be their full selves. In addition, I agree that the every individual has their own entity and have limited amount of how much information they can consume until they reached their full potential. Every person is driven for greatness, but greatness has restraints. For example, when a student is in class, they expect to gain a better understanding of a concept they already knew. The teacher would be an expert in their specific course, but maintains the amount of information the students need in order to be

This essay will discuss the significance of Lifelong Learning (LLL) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in relation to adult nursing. It has been suggested that LLL is too difficult to define, however it has been suggested that it is participated throughout life. It is important to discuss LLL, as it has many benefits within the healthcare system, as well as everyday life. This essay will explore reflection as a skill important to adult nurses, as this is vital in order to evaluate their own learning, which can encourage improvement of LLL. Reflection in action and on action can also influence the successful outcome of LLL. The attribute chosen to discuss will be self-motivation, due to the fact that this can lead to more

The phrase taking ownership of my learning is a personal statement reminding me to take responsibility of my time. First, I need to be honest with myself on how much I can get done on a daily basis and therefore commit to a steady homework schedule. Consequently, If I do not create a reasonable homework schedule, then I run the risk of becoming overly stressed out, causing problems for those around me. The ones immediately affected are people close to me. My family and those that I have other commitments to are most affected by my choices. Therefore, by accepting that I have committed to taking this class, or any class through the University of the People, I am obligated to hold up my end of the bargain, or accept the repercussions of my actions which may be minor initially, over a long period of time can cause significant damage to relationships. As stated in the article Course Overload; Students Stressed by Too Many Classes by The Pauw Wow. Velda Goldberg, the Academic Dean of Saint Peter’s said, “I see students overextending themselves on a regular basis,” she said. “In the process, not only do they become stressed out, but their studies suffer as well.” I realize that the University of the People has a different academic plan than most Universities. .Because of the nature of the University of the People course load recommendations are only two classes, whereas at other universities

Growing up, I hated school. The sinking feeling I got hearing people talk about academics was distressing. Every time I heard the words “mathematics” or “language arts” used in speech I would cringe reminding myself of what I struggle with. Looking back at this struggle, I realize that it helped define the essential components of my personality. Without this hardship, I would not have the resiliency, enthusiasm, or diligence that I have today to face my educational and real - life endeavors.

The learning experience should be that of a collective nature where students are able to indiscriminately relate to the information, re-teach the information and have a balanced incorporation of all the learning centers in society; including the home and the church. The goal of this incorporation is to create a balanced learning environment that facilitates holistic development in the young mind. As professionals entrusted with the shaping of young minds, teachers must facilitate learning and personal, spiritual, ethical and academic development. My philosophy for education is a multi-part philosophy that encapsulates the idea of holistic and inclusive learning. The philosophy caters for the overall shaping and development of the young mind and includes aspects of balanced training, incorporated teachings and it generally focuses on training students to become teachers.
