Reflective Reflection In Reflection

Adult learning is having a clear picture of how adults learn and how this in turn affects the program planning process. Many adults are not sure about what they want to do with their lives after high school. There are many programs that will help you to decided, what you want to do with your life. This is where adult education programs can help you decided on the importance of education. There are three content areas that connects with adult learning and planning education within the adult. Knowles state that the adult learner, learns from their experiences. Experiences is how adults live their everyday lives and make concise

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

As a middle schooler, I have experienced success and failure. Sports in middle were not always good for me. In some cases I was the only one struggling personally. Other times it was my whole team and I that were struggling. Instead of giving up in these moments and just quitting the sport or blaming it on someone else, I tried to be a leader and help myself and others to get better.

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

This article discussed many aspects of adult learners and provided strategies for instructors to improve learning in adult learners. They stated repeatedly that learning experiences are a major factor in adult education. It can help intrinsically motivate adult learners to retain more information in order to improve their knowledge. In the article they also discussed how it is important to allow adult learners to take ownership of their learning while allowing the instructor to facilitate activities that are more hands on. Adult learners tend to learn better when they are actively involved in the learning process and are able to make meaningful connections between the new material and their old experiences.

For years, as an educator, it has been my passion and privilege to help my adult students succeed inside and outside of the classroom. As such, I have created, developed and facilitated numerous courses in Adult Basic Education, GED and ASVAB preparation, Career Placement Testing preparation and Learning Strategies. Courses and websites I have developed have produced excellent results as students have achieved (and surpassed) their academic or professional goals upon completing my courses.

Author and educator Dr. Jane Vella (1994) suggests twelve basic, deeply interconnected principals of adult learning that can be applied to all college students and other adult learners (Merriam, 1997). Vella (1994) suggested twelve basic, deeply interconnected principals of adult learning that can be applied across all cultures. The principles are based upon one basic assumption—adult learning is best achieved in dialogue. Adults have enough life experience to be in dialogue with any teacher, about any subject, and will learn new knowledge, attitudes, or skills best in relation to their life experiences. In a dialogue approach to adult learning, the teacher learns and the learner teaches. Therefore, the twelve principles are ways to begin,

The British Association of Occupational Therapists (2007) states that reflective practice is fundamental in continuing professional development (CPD) in order to keep skills and knowledge up to date and to practice effectively, safely and legally (Health and Care Professions Council, 2012). Reflection is vital for all healthcare students in order to establish links between theory and practice (Jasper, 2013), that will help increase clinical reasoning and enhance professional practice (Rigby et al., 2012). Using models of reflective thinking makes sure that reflections are meaningful to our personal CPD (Armitage et al., 2012).

The experience that I would like to reflect on this paper is that of Mr. Gregoris’ class participation in “witness talks”. We were each tasked in both the writing and the communication of our differing faith walks to the whole class. The objective of the activity was for each student to make their full introduction into the class, as well as open up about experiences and deep physiological challenges that they may have encountered in their lifetime. The ambience of the room during the witness talks is an interesting talking point, the room was dim, bordering on completely dark, however still had a quite calming feeling attached to it, reminiscent of being at home during a thunderstorm reading a good book. I went first and I wasn’t mentally prepared to go on the day, but nobody else was willing to go, so I decided to take the plunge. Subsequently following my actual talk, we also had to play music, to help us reflect on what we just heard, I didn’t have a song prepared or anything, so I just picked a random one, ironically it just had to be a song I was looking for, for a long time. Others went and shared their experiences and feelings, though I will not forget a few stories and I may never be able to unhear some others. At the end of the day, this was a congress of people connecting on an intimate level greater than what I would see from my own family. I saw the witness talks as a celebration of individuality and difference, especially in a world that sees humans as digits, stats and worst of all money. If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? (1 Corinthians 14:7).

My writing had a transition through the semester and it was because of what I learned in this class. My writing process took a turn as well however, it took time and at times I had a hard time identifying things like the subject and key action. Many times I just had to word vomit onto my paper because that way I could sort my ideas afterwards. The discussion helped me identify when and where I put my character and key action because I used to think I could play around and put it anywhere I’d like because at the end it was my paper. However, I learned that concision is important because if the reader gets confused they might not be interested in reading anymore. Other people including peers, professors, and tutors at the writing center helped me identify where I needed change whether it meant grammar or structure. At, the start of the semester the Beginning Statue prompt made me feel very comfortable. However, throughout the semester I noticed that there was even more to learn and that I could implement different methods to better my writing.

Throughout this semester in Composition 1, I believe my writing skills have improved drastically. During the semester I have met the five goals of the semester course. Also, I have learned about how I write and how to improve my writing to get ready for college.

Before entering English 105-11 I did not attend school for a year. During my time away from Jackson State University, my education was held back. While I was glad to return to the University this fall, I was also very discouraged that my performance in the classroom would hinder my matriculation towards my degree due to the year I missed. Attending this class has helped my writing and critical thinking development by helping me be a more responsible student, motivated me to stay in my major as a social worker, and made me have a different perspective on current societal ills. English 105-11 has challenged me to become not only a better student, but challenged my critical thinking skills. Thus, obtaining such knowledge I learn from this class, I can help reduce current societal ills, such us high school dropout rates, teen pregnancy, poverty, and crime rates.

My reflection will consist of three focuses such as, reflections on personal growth, areas of improvement. comparison of essays. I will be discussing some of the elements that I started to learn through the class. My personal growth as well as starting factors in my learning abilities. The question of my writing involvement will be entered this discussion as well.
