Learning Is A Key Component Of Human Development

1.1 An Explanation of each of the areas of learning and how these are interdependent.

The book, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, provides an alternative approach to how a person achieves success. This book does not focus on the conventional determinant of success, such as formal education and training, experience, and intelligence level (IQ). Although all these components contribute greatly to ones achievement of success, these factors are not the only factors to be considered in whether a person will be successful or not. This book focuses on the concept that it refers to as emotional intelligence (EQ), which is one’s ability to recognize and effectively understand his/her emotions in a productive and rational manner.

Emotional Intelligence assessments have been used to predict a person’s success or failure in regard to school, business and life. There are many studies that provide evidence of the benefits of emotional intelligence to children, adults, parents and employees. A child’s emotions are often treated as petty, irrational and immature, when it is during childhood that children need to be taught how to deal with emotions. The objective of this paper is to give significant evidence that there is a benefit to beginning the introduction of emotional intelligence in the early childhood development.

Learning to be an effective human being takes a lot of work. It is a process that does not happen overnight. It is a process to become an effective person. According to Covey, 2013 it is a seven step process. Then we add being Christian into it. It is helpful being a Christian because we should already have these basic concepts down. For the non-Christian, they will have to really work on making personality, principle and mental changes.

Have you ever wondered how the brain develops while we learn? Dr. Rita Smilkstein’s research on The Natural Human Learning Process was interesting. I now know the parts of the brain and how they work. I know now how we learn and how emotions have an impact on how we learn. As college students, we need to understand how our brains work and how emotions can help us learn successfully, since all college students should want to become successful people in their lives during college and throughout their lives.

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:

This situation does not present itself as an ‘open response’ environment where children are able to bring their own experiences to the table, which in this situation, could be costly to both student and the educator. Every student has different ways of learning and according to Gardner (1999) there are nine types of intelligences. They are Verbal-linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Spatial-visual, Bodily-kinaesthetic, Musical intelligences, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist and Existential intelligence. The activity mentioned above only foster for the verbal-linguistic learning

Learning has become a central focus in this fast developing world. Education is becoming more and more valuable due to economic advancements. According to text on page 307, "Learning can be defined as a relatively permanent influence on behavior, knowledge and thinking skills that comes about through experience." Each person has a unique way of learning, and for a child, it is the teacher's responsibility to understand how each child learns. There are several different learning theories. However, we will be discussing these three main theories Behavioral, Social Cognitive, and Information Processing.

The key learning in This week’s reading went into the details of the importance of the first three years. Birth to age three are the years that we lay down the foundation of development and relationship skills. There are many dynamics that play a part in an infant’s development such as poverty, education, health, etc. The main influence is the interactions between parents/care givers with the infants that are the most important role in this foundation. How we interact, respond and care for infants will directly affect how they grow and learn. Another key learning is how Ecology of culture, attributes, laws, and family affect the infants as well. When considering all the elements that affect an infant’s development and ability to build relationship skills, I have learned that there are many ways in which these relationships can be both fostered and interfered with.

In the social world for children, there are many resources when it comes to helping their everyday lives. Children now days have access to so many resources that will help them succeed in the academic world. Being smart and knowing the answers questions will get you far in life, but there are other factors that contribute to an individual’s success in the classroom and relationships with other people. Emotional Intelligence is new psychological concept that deals with Individuals getting control of their emotions and describes many things in our lives that will help us manage our emotion and communicate effectively with the people around us. This paper will describe in detail the concepts of Emotional Intelligence and why it is vital

The book “How People Learn” examines the findings of many branches of science which greatly increase our understanding of what it means to know; from the neural processes that occur during learning, to the influence of the culture in which people perceive and assimilate. The book presents the implications of these discoveries have regarding "what we teach, how we teach and how we evaluate what our children learn". Specially in this chapter of the book they examine the latest discoveries of learning and analyzes the implications of these findings, and in this essay I will inform you about some subthemes of the chapter and what they mean and want us to know about it.

Books of many kinds can provide helpful and relevant information to people. However, if readers are unsure how to apply it to their lives or make a personal connection with it, than the time spent reading is much less significant. Texts can come alive once a personal application or connection is made between the reader and the written material. In my reflection journal I will address at least two main points from the weekly reading from Contemporary Theories of Learning (Illeris, 2009) and Emotional Intelligence (Goleman, 2005). In addition, I will include

     In the book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, the central thesis that he tries to point out is that emotional intelligence may be more important than I.Q. in determining a person’s well being and success in life. At first I didn’t know what Goleman was talking about when he said emotional intelligence, but after reading the book I have to say that I agree completely with Goleman. One reason for my acceptance of Goleman's theory is that academic intelligence has little to do with emotional life. To me, emotions can be just as intelligent as your I.Q. In this essay I hope to provide sufficient evidence to show why I agree with Goleman’s thesis on emotional intelligence.
