Prescriptive Knowledge

Feedback both positive and negative is important for personal development as it helps us to become more aware of what we do and how we do it. Both in good and bad ways, this feedback can then be used to self-develop and improve our practice.

2. Demonstrate 3 different postural and walking exercise to help the patient with his walking and learning.

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.

Within my work setting of the nursing home, we have several ways we help develop skills for every day life. Within the home we have a physiotherapist, who works with residents to help them get better mobility by helping them move their arms and legs better as an example and encouraging them to attempt the exercises when alone also.

I have taken this fire in my heart -this compassion, faith, and love- and used it in all my activities. Yes, my roots are from a catholic education, but my branches spread out to every aspect of my life. As a Balavisx instructor, my job is to help those who are disabled or struggling. It is something I love doing and it is a way for me to serve others. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to help someone accomplish a task that others deemed impossible for them. I know that the hand of God is working through us. I have also volunteered at a Catholic camp for the disabled over the summer. There, I was able to use my Balavisx tools to help my camper, Omar, who had mental disabilities, a hunched back, and was confined to a wheelchair. He is unable to see much of the world around him because his neck forces his head to stay down. Omar sat in his wheelchair and I sat on the ground so that he could see me completely. We started doing some Balavisx exercises and he really enjoyed them. Since the exercises forced him to watch the beanbags therefore keeping his

Exercising releases certain neurotransmitters, which are known for alleviating physical and mental pain. For this particular scenario the author will create a learning situation which involves teaching an individual an exercise routine and then analyze how positive and negative reinforcement, and reward and punishment would have an effect on this learning situation. In order to effectively teach someone an exercise routine they must first be motivated to exercise. For a person to be motivated to exercise the certain sections of the brain must be working properly but also they must have an environment, which will accommodate that person’s needs and desires to perform physical training. In order to begin this learning experience the person instructing must first analyze the person’s personality, find out where he or she would be more comfortable learning the routine, the person’s exercise history, and find out the person’s short and long term exercise goals. By finding this information out the exercise routine can be accustomed to the individual but the instructor can also identify what this person may consider positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, reward, and punishment.

By using feedback, we can be aware of our strengths, for example, a staff member says to you “you do (name)’s bath time routine really well”. This positive feedback develops confidence, competence and motivation and, for example, would make me want to do bath time routine more and do this confidently.

Q1A) In what ways does the biological constitution of a living organism determine, influence or limit its sense perception?

Biomechanical knowledge in Health and Physical Education provides students with the ability to critically analyse their own and others’ performance and also allow the teacher to assess a

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.

Many people would argue that knowledge is power, but can too much knowledge be dangerous? How much is too much? Throughout history, the human race has had struggles with “too much knowledge” or going to extreme lengths to gain such knowledge. Is the everlasting quest to know something really worth it? In today’s generation, there is constantly new inventions of technology and theories of science. But maybe knowledge is starting to ruin people’s life and it shouldn’t be sought after. Very similar in the novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein deals with the deadly pursuit of knowledge. He is constantly intrigued into

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 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,

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
