Developing Yourself and Others

I work in nursing home. My person values are ambition, committed, family orientated, hardworking, loyal, self-reliance, acceptance. My personal belief is to treat everyone equally, with respect and dignity. I always remember that every person is unique and different. I show positive regard to everybody. I am a Christian brought up in the Catholic faith, but in my work, there are a lot of people with different faiths like Hindu, Muslim, Jehovah, Anglican. Mrs X who is one of the residents on my ward is Muslim. I attend to her every day. She likes to pray four times a day, covering her face during the day with a hijab. When I finish giving her personal care in the morning, I make sure I give her the hijab to cover her face and then remove it at night before going to sleep. I make sure no male carers are allowed to enter her room or attend to her. She has a female carer at all times. I make sure that I don’t discriminate against any client or staff. I try to give each staff member and client equal opportunity like the same amount of time. I respect the right of clients and staff, by giving the clients the right to chose what they want to do. What they want to wear. What they want to eat. Mrs X wants to go to bed at 22.00 hours every night One night we were short of carers for the night shift, so I put her to bed early, her son came to visit and complained, and asked me to

To help me identify my own learning style(s) and that of a member of my team, I used the

From the time of birth, individuals are constantly learning. Individual learning styles vary from person to person. It is essential to the education of the individual to learn the particular style of learning that best serves them. One particular analysis tool is the visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic or V.A.R.K. tool (VARK, 2011). This tool allows the individual to identify their particular learning style which will better prepare them throughout their education.

In this assignment, I am writing about the duties and responsibilities of my work role and the expectation of my work role.

Our first step to identify the individual learning style of the learners’ (ergo to identify their needs), is performing ‘VAK’ (visual, aural, kinaesthetic) assessment. Francis and Gould (2013) describe it as a model of

Another way of improving on your development is to learn from yourself. Reflect on how your day has gone and what you could have improved.

Members of staff need to be able to trust you with certain jobs and everyday tasks and relatives want to be able to put their trust in you so they know that their family member is being looked after properly.

Many human development specialists have examined memory loss of adults later in life. During the past fifty years, there have been many studies in children’s cognitive development and earlier childhood memory loss. Ernest G. Schachtel conducted studies on why people forget childhood memories as they grow older. He described the processes that could be involved in early memory loss (Crain, 2005). He was influenced by Sigmund Freud’s cognitive theory (Crain, 2005). Lev S. Vygotsky, however, described children’s early memory development as a holistic process that involved society, physiological, cultural, and economical environments. (Vygotsky,

The self-reflection, assessment of student performance, and learning environment assessment show that an essential priority in my practice is pursuing additional instructional and behavioral strategies to impact students with autism who currently exhibit Self Injurous Behavior SIB. As an educator, I am interested in creating a proactive environment to limit triggers that often lead to SIB in students with autism. Additionally, implementing appropriate and evidenced-based reactive strategies for when SIB do occur is an important component of providing effective classroom behavioral supports. My learning goal, stated as an essential question to guide research and my learning process is:

Learning styles and barriers to learning can be by the VARK to give a profile of learning preferences of how a person takes in and gives out information or Tidwell and Rodgers Practical learning styles Questionnaire. The VARK learning styles determines if the person learns by being a theorist, reflector, activist and/or pragmatist. The practical learning styles questionnaire looks at how people learn by their orientation, whether they are a realistic or creative, by their interaction, are they a doer or a thinker, by how they represent things, either by words or pictures, and how they process information, whether they are a surface or deep processor. There are many other

Although I did not pass with a distinction, I still managed to obtain an average of 72% for the overall degree.

Learning styles describe the way in which an individual or student uses different methods in the way they acquire, scrutinize, understand and remember knowledge or information (Kharb, 2013). The VARK questionnaire is a tool through which one can identify his/her learning style and is based on how individuals interact and respond to their learning environment. After undertaking the questionnaire, the scores for visual learning was 10, kinesthetic was 12, Aural was 10 and read/write was 16. The preferred learning style was, therefore, determined to be Multimodal which means that multiple strategies can be in cooperated to enable sufficient learning. Read/Write had the highest score followed closely by kinesthetic, aural and visual. This implies that the adequate strategy to acquire and convey information or knowledge is through printed or written words. With Kinesthetic having the second highest score, it shows that learning is also adequate through gaining experience and engaging in practical activities or processes that give real-life examples. Visual and Aural strategies had the same score meaning that learning can also be achieved through presentations in visual formats, drawings or diagrams as well as observations and taking of verbal instructions or listening.

In this text, I will retrospect to the period doing the assignment and reflect how I developed professionally and personally. The first chapter gives a review of the group assignment and presentation. We took DHL call centre as the development subject, and analyzed the importance of

Now that I am reaching the end of my undergraduate career I feel like it’s fit to reflect on how far i’ve come and some high and low points during this time of my life. Some people may say that these four years of college are the most wonderful times of their life, and for the most part that is correct. But there is this whole other part of college life that is super stressful and even scary. During this paper I will address my personal development and how certain experiences played a role in those developments. Even though I feel like i’ve grown a lot and have developed and learned new things, I have run into some issues. Those issues being family/culture, social and emotional growth, intellectual growth, values and beliefs, citizen and community member.

The birth and growth of mankind are magical. During these eight weeks study, I found the huge interest in lifespan human development. This course taught me the “roots” of human beings. Until now, I realized how human was born, and I also learn a lot about human development and possible diseases in each period. Besides, I learned the research process. They are really wonderful knowledge and helpful to me!
