1.write a critical reflection on the extent to which learning can contribute to the personal development, economic growth and community regeneration of your learners
As regards 'learning', I will use this in the sense of continuous self-improvement where I am engaged in continuous learning to improve my performance and my teaching practice. It is this that makes me a transformative teacher or leader who can, in turn, 'transform' the behavior, mindset, and ideas of others. Both also involve behavioral, humanistic, and cognitive themes. Behavioral in that learning (and teaching) is founded on practice and on modeling others; humanistic in that one needs a sense of self-efficacy, optimism, and ability in communicating with others (including empathy and active listening skills); and cognitive in that both areas are premised on motivation (i.e. on self-referential thoughts and attitude).
Both teaching and the practice of self-learning follow similar patterns. The one is dedicated to the other, whilst the other is working on oneself or receiving from another, but both involve openness to experience and the desire to learn from, and engage, with others.
With learning done in this way, I as a person become a more effective teacher and refine my skills which, in turn, help me better teach and guide others. This, in turn, has an enhanced impact on the skills of others. More so, my information has a better chance of being accurate, I am able to generate new, and ostensibly, more
Learning, as defined by Slavin (2012), is “a change in an individual caused by experience” (p. 116). Learning can occur intentionally or unintentionally. All learning, however, is stimulated by something that is the learner (student) has encountered. As an instructor, your goal every day is to use the right stimuli to capture the student’s attention so they can absorb the knowledge you are trying to share.
Education develops future endeavors; leading teachers to commit to lay foundational skills that build upon each year for students. Through the elementary, secondary and higher levels, each person has the opportunity to develop a wondrous relationship with learning. Leadership skills that embrace teachers and students to become more than what they believe, to change the world through victories of developing thought processes, building schemas, concept building, and developing lifelong learners.
It helped me to take a step back and get to know each individual student and have a relationship with each of my students. It also helped me to understand that I need to arrange my lessons around my students needs and what makes sense to them and what they can relate to on a personal level. Each student is different and each student learns and understands materials in a differnent way and each student needs to be
Also learning from other people's strengths and weakness allow us to improve, develop our knowledge skills and practice.
An example of this is when students take an ethics class and learn about the different types of virtues. Although one may know skills for an area of expertise, he or she can fail in understanding what the world is, what his or her own purpose is in the world, and how that relates to others in society. Knowing these things enable an individual to live up to his or her full potential. The solution to this lack of knowledge is for people to learn philosophy and have a desire to learn it. This is important in education because learning in itself is a continual process that enables an individual to interpret the information given and apply it to his or her own
Learning can have a positive effect on a person ,it won't always have a positive effect but it can considering what type of person they are. Learning can be astounding for certain individuals but for those others they might take it for granted. It highly depends on what you are learning rather than just the person.
I am writing to explain why I am qualified to become one of your student in your Writing 2 course. Over the years of my academic life I have taken numerous literature classes, which accelerated my comprehension in reading and writing, preparing me for this course. I wish to enroll in this course to further refine these skills and learn more about how creativity plays an important role in writing and in my life. In addition, I hope to unravel and share my creativity with the rest of my colleagues through future discussions and essays.
- According to the student, he has started a new class and he could not find where he could change the info that he has right now on his account.
Teaching and Learning consists of various different theories that educators may or may not feel applicable to their individual philosophy. There are bits and pieces of a variety of theories that many educators feel are important in the classroom. The purpose of this paper is to explain the personal learning theory and how it is applied in a classroom. After an educator takes the time to research and do further learning by reading a variety of written books, the educator may or maynot change things in the classroom or focus on a different topic that they had not previously focused on in the past.
In order to gain knowledge, one must study him or herself. By learning about oneself, one ultimately learns about others and the world around him or her.
It is a very effective way of learning because the student gets the opportunity to actually visualize something that he or she might have trouble comprehending. For example, if a teacher of a construction class talks about a circular saw but never shows it to the students, then the students might have some trouble finding it, and using it, when the time comes. If the teacher had just shown them how it works instead of trying to explain it to them, then the students would have been far better off and would have known how to use the tool from the start. It is such an effective way of learning because the student not only gets an explanation of what something does, but he or she also gets to see what something
Transformative learning involves and enhanced level of awareness of the context on one’s beliefs and feeling, a critique of their assumptions and particular premises, an assessment of alternative perspective, a decision to negate an old perspective in favor of a new one or to make a synthesis of old and new, an ability to take actions based upon the new perspective and a desire to fit the new perspective into the broader context of one’s life”. In retrospective of transformative learning I have learned through experience that as an adult we must prioritize. Re-evaluate our lives to correct experience from occurring. The rationale for critiquing our lives is to make moral decision and to be productive citizens in society. Psychologists have evidence that learning starts as unconscious activity. In conclusion learning about ourselves according to Mezirow, 1991 can be the result either of thoughtful action based upon content (with self as object) process, or premise reflection. We can gain an enhanced sense of confidence from performing with increased competence through thoughtful instrumental action. As we journey through life it is a constant learning process
In turn it allows specialists to learn from the teachers how to best work with the children.
“What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.” 1A teachers objective should not be to shape the students as a reflection of that educators image, instead they should see themselves as the medium of which the information in communicated, they should see themselves a person who elevates that students to higher concepts of learning, aspiration and liberation. A good teacher must recognize the strength and weaknesses in skills of the individual and class and reflect on how to leverage strength amongst learners to
• When we learn before time we may loss the information and skill when it will actually be needed and a refresher course is
