As I encouraged my peers to carry out the skill that I had demonstrated, I had to bear in mind that many adult learners are self-conscious about trying new psychomotor skills as contended by De Tornyay & Thompson (1987). They worry about looking foolish and making errors. And therefore it is crucial that the learning environment is warm and accepting, inviting the learners to try things, take risks and experiment.

Today I used knowledge of performance feedback as this made metin aware of which movements were correct and needed to be repeated and which movements were incorrect and how to improve them. Knowledge of performance can be received by both internal and external sources although as metin is still in cognitive his main source was external.

It is always my aim to ensure that feedback is timely and given in a constructive and sensitive manner; and my approach can sometimes be influenced by what I have learned during initial assessment; and as I develop relationships with the learner. I have recently made efforts to encourage my learners to reflect and to self-assess their performance. I feel that this helps to pave the way for me to feedback to the individual and to reduce the risk of de-motivating them.

900 words Ever since I was young my life goals were to help others when I grew up, however I wasn’t exactly sure how. Throughout the past couple years, with a wonderful support system; I have been able to make the decision about wanting to achieve the goal of becoming a physical therapist. It is my belief that I have a high spiritual calling to be a physical therapist, because I have the intention to be able to guide others. I gather that this can be spiritual, because helping others is what God’s intentions are, and would recommend others to follow in His footsteps. My mindset is indeed compassionate, empathetic, selfless, and strong with a thirst for knowledge. Being a physical therapist has many rewards such as happiness, equality, and a sense of accomplishment which can be very valuable and will affect my life in a positive manner.

The psychologist B. F Skinner believed that “changes in behavior are the result of an individual’s response to events (stimuli) that occur in the environment” (All About Operant Conditioning, 2006, Para 2). The following paper will discuss a learning situation in which an exercise routine is thought. The paper will

Fonda Shu-Ayanji Statement of Purpose In 2012, I volunteered at the Maryland Therapeutic Riding where I observed a 6 year old child with cerebral palsy. For four weeks, he was guided by a physical therapist and his assistant as he controlled and communicated effectively with an 1100 pound horse which was much bigger. I was astonished. The child was able to complete challenging therapeutic activities through movement and interactions with a horse. This experience left me with indelible memories and influenced my decision to become a physical therapist as I witnessed the child regain his balance, strength, and coordination that completely changed his life (Hippotherapy).

The special needs children I was working with struggle to stay focused and sit still during class time. The addition of school based physical therapy helps to control their focus and allows them to keep up with the other students. A lot of the students I observed in this setting lack genuine human contact outside their home. Physical therapy gives them a place where they are they are most important and everything is individualized to their needs. Working with these kids was exceptionally rewarding and sparked so many ideas on how to incorporate the things that kids love and get excited about into their treatment. Making an effort to be available for my patients with questions and concerns is important. I will do my best to ensure that my clients and patients are interested in the exercises I give them to promote adherence and importantly,

“That which is accepted as knowledge today is sometimes discarded tomorrow.” We live in a strange and puzzling world. Despite the exponential growth of knowledge in the past century, we are faced by a baffling multitude of conflicting ideas. The mass of conflicting ideas causes the replacement of knowledge, as one that was previously believed to be true gets replace by new idea. This is accelerated by the rapid development of technology to allow new investigations into knowledge within the areas of human and natural sciences. Knowledge in the human sciences has been replaced for decades as new discoveries by the increased study of humans, and travel has caused the discarding of a vast array of theories. The development of
