Introduction The organization that I will be designing for is Camp Power. The program’s main/demographic focus will be on the Latino Community. The program that my group is proposing to design is bringing the Latino Community to Camp Power “Hogar lejos del Hogar” (Home away from home). The overall goal is to bring those in the Latino community to be involved in the activities that Camp Power brings and to promote unity in the community. When the guest speaker from Camp Power came to discuss ideas
Back in first grade, before ever learning about probability in school, I remember designing and carrying out an experiment comparing mind reading to chance. This experience sparked my passion for research. Eventually, I began to employ the scientific method to solve increasingly more serious problems, culminating in the countywide science fair. At Science Montgomery, I won first place with my research into making an optimal parabolic reflector that resolves the common problem of weak internet signals
In this course, there were many different student centered strategies that were discussed. One strategy that was exposed was Cooperative learning. Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals but for me, it is much more than merely arranging students into groups. It is about
of the person is generated from different interactions of the learner and his environment. He suggested that learning should be observed holistically with relation to the psychological factors of the learners' environment and also the other factor that effect the learners' behavior. Jean Piaget's(Piaget's & Duckworth, 1970), genetic epistemology also finds a relation between the learning process and the interaction with the environment. Piaget's theory denies this factor that the knowledge already
so that the whole learning goes toward the direction of teaching principles. Second, game teaching is more difficult to organize in the classroom because of students’ lacking autonomy, and the classroom will become confusing. All of these should be taken into full consideration while designing class activities. Usually there are five principles that should be noticed(Chen Shuting,2008). 3.1 Objective principle English classroom games should have a clear purpose. While designing a game, teachers must
budget cuts, downsizing and the overall decline in the economy. This in turn has required employers to devise new training practices; to become innovative with learning strategies and methodologies. The challenge to provide an atmosphere that promotes professional development has led to new formats for sharing knowledge and training. Learning takes place constantly, whether we realize it or not. We learn by listening, observing and teaching. We also learn through formal and informal formats. Both of
designer defines learning and what is believed about the way learning occurs plays an important role in situations where the facilitator wants to make a change in how people do a job or they need to learn something new on the job. This paper focuses on Malcolm Knowles adult learning assumptions and how to apply them in instructional strategies and techniques for facilitating learning. It also explores some of the critics concerning his assumptions. Knowles assumptions concerning adult learning are each
Throughout this course I have gained many insights about designing effective curriculum, instruction and assessment. Though the use of our various resources, discussions, and assignments I have grown as an educator and will take many things from this course to implement into my classroom. The three most important aspects I am taking away from this course are the use of real world performance tasks, unpacking goals to find specific and measurable objectives, and the importance of differentiation geared
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Many researches stated that learning a language is better started from early age because in this stage the children will be easier to acquire the language, sooner they start learning, more proficient they will be in using the language. Therefore, presently, English is introduced starting from kindergarten and becomes one lesson subject that must be taken in elementary school based on government’s rule in Indonesia. In this level, the children are usually called by
In Education, I feel that each and every child should be considered as a unique individual. Children need secure, stimulating and caring atmospheres so that may grow maturely, intellectually, physically and socially. This is one of the main reasons I have chosen to become a teacher. Employers usually search for certain skills, qualities, talents in characteristics when looking for potential teachers and I feel that I possess many. I am a very organized individual; I have a lot of patience and experience
