Chapter 3 Skills Analysis

As said in the assignment I have to select a topic which is taken with two peered reviewed journal articles to do a comparative analysis. The subject I choose my articles are about gender and race in criminality. The two articles I selected were “Crime, Cops and Context” written by Andres F. Rengifo, Morgan Pater and Brenda J. Velazquez. The reason I choose the article is it seemed interested and informative. The second article is “Intersectionality of Race, Ethnicity, Gender and Age on Criminal Punishment” written by Darrell Steffensmeier, Noah Painter-Davis and Jeffery Ulmer. The reason I choose the article is it looked similar to the first article, so I thougt it would be good to do a review on similar subjects.

In the middle of the session, I observed that I got stuck and didn’t know where to take the conversation, in that moment I asked a couple questions in a row which I observed as not good session practice. I need to paraphrase in that aspect so that it doesn’t feel that I’m asking questions the whole time. The second weakness that I perceived form the taping session is active listening, there where I couple of times in the taping were the client would be talking and I would interject and talk over them. This is something I need to be aware of and let the client express what they must say without my interjecting. The third weakness that I noticed was not using a lot of encouragers. In looking over the practice session, I observed that I didn’t have many encouragers like head nodes or positive fail expressions, I observed that my facial expression was kind of cold and I didn’t give off a positive feel. I need to be ware and structure myself to where I’m giving good encouragers to my client during the

In the role plays that I performed in class I did not use all the interpersonal skills as I did in my presentation because some were not necessary such as summarising and paraphrasing because there was nothing to summarise and there was nothing that I had to change into my own words, however there was some interpersonal skills that I should have demonstrated and need to improve such as intonation because I struggle to vary the tone of my voice and this is something I need to improve on the next time I’m presenting a presentation or performing a role play in class.

The exercises in this course enabled me to identify how I communicate and listen and where I can make conscious changes to improve my communication and listening skills. The most challenging exercise for me was the role playing with the conversation meter. When communicating with classmates that you have only known for a few two-hour classes, it is hard to exit the pretense mode of communicating. Identifying my own working style was difficult while identifying family members and co-workers was easier. I feel this is because it is easier to discuss someone else’s emotions than our own. Although all the exercises in this course will be valuable to my work and personal life there were a couple that stood out to me more. Learning to identify working styles of others will be the most valuable to me. As I recognize the characteristics, I can choose to respond differently in conversation in a manner that will resonance better with them. Another section of the course that stood out to me was identifying when an interaction falls into the Cycle of Waste versus the Cycle of Value. As I work towards putting conversations into the Cycle of Value, I can create better relationships with those around

Which key skill would you be the best at doing in an apprenticeship this summer?

I demonstrated listening skills at the 1:35, 2:00, and the 3:25 minute marks. However, there are many more examples throughout this process recording where I demonstrated listening skills. Listening is such an important skill because it allows the practitioner to convey and understand what the client is saying (Chang at el., 2013). While I was listening, I also showed curiosity in Kelsey’s story. For instance, Kelsey mentioned that she is visiting her brothers at the 1:39 minute mark. After she explained that she was seeing her brothers, I asked her at the 1:49 minute mark how old her brothers were. Additionally, I asked this question so Kelsey would be more at ease to tell me where her brothers were. I thought I did a great job utilizing listening

The skill assessment I recently took really opened my eyes to all of the skills that show not only my strengths but also my weakness . This skill assessment is really a eye-opener to skills that I thought I was strong in, but thought about it for a second and realized i had weakness in that particular area. With taking this class I plan on improving my weak points and making my strong points even stronger.

Imagine Eduardo, an 18 year old high school graduate with a 3.7 GPA that has an impressive resume. He got into all the colleges he applied to and wants to get a summer job. He emails his resumes to a few companies and gets interviews for each of them, but he never gets hired. Why not? There is a huge gap in his education and he doesn't even know it. He lacks soft-skills like leadership and communication skills.

For the past few weeks, I am gaining knowledge on all the aspects of BA. Especially the competencies section which talks about the individual perspective. I have never thought about the skills we were discussing, even though it happens on the life situation automatically. The classes help me in assessing my own competency skills and made me to actually think different before doing anything. I have to say that the teamwork idea is great in terms of knowledge sharing, knowing people, and learning. More practice on presentation will help me in overcoming stage fear, improving presentation skills, and it motivates me to do more research on various tools to present. I like the way classes are being delivered with real life examples which are really

On a once a week basis I would take specific position players and bring them into a smaller group setting where will focus on a specific psychology skill testing subject, often times I woud run test on them and use the feedback from the test to report to the coach and create better ways to coach a player.

Characteristics of the learner that influence the skill acquisition consist of five different aspects of the learner. Examples are, the Personality traits such as the willingness to learn and take on constructive criticism. The Hereditary factors, such as your height and different body types, the confidences levels, which can strongly affect the rate of how the learner develops a new skill. Prior experience, if the learner has prior experience with help with the development of the new skill, having positive experiences with learning new skills, and then using that positive experience to develop more skills similar really helps for the rate of the development of the skill to go faster, aswell as someone who has natural ability to have certain aspects of developing a new skill such as, good hand eye co-ordination.

Three positive things about my performance I thought were my calming voice, reflection on topic of discussion and body gestures. Throughout my presentation I thought that my voice was reassuring to listen to and not over enthusiastic. I think that throughout my intake interview it was important for me to think of myself of being in the position of talking normally to a friend and I think that showed through my performance. In contrast, during my conversation with my friend Sarah, I asked her questions in regards to how her disorder has impacted her leisure lifestyle, what activities she likes to do and what activities she would like to try doing throughout her sessions. I listened to her as she gave her responses and I thought that I did well at asking her further questions and confronting certain topics to better understand her point of view. I then reflect off that by reiterating what she had previously said, but stated it in a different way. I thought this was beneficial because I overall felt more comfortable asking her more questions, which lead to a deeper conversation. Lastly, I thought my non-verbal skills were relaxed, I remained engaged throughout the conversation with eye contact and the distance between us was at a comfortable place. Generally, I feel like I had a positive performance because I have done a similar interviewing project in the past and I think that I was naturally able to have a conversation. Open/closing questions- leading skills

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships are rooted between the push and pull of give and take. People tend to enter into relationships to gain something: they 're trying to find someone who 's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way love is true is if the relationship comes from a place of giving.

I started off the conversation with “So, Julie you said you were having some issues with Jennifer. Could you tell me a little bit about those?” Julie stated, “ Yes. So, we have a little bit of an attitude problem whenever we get in trouble. We like to stomp our feet, roll our eyes and slam the door. And we are struggling with getting ready and getting out the door in the morning to get to school on time. We can’t figure out what to wear.” Next, I did restate the situation in my own words. Then, I asked, “Which one do you think is the biggest problem right now?” Julie answered with probably the behavior problem. Each time I asked a question, I waited for a response and didn’t rush either mother or daughter. There was
