...because it is the craft which uses specific principles and methods (creative).A proficient teacher has to make sure that both aspects are applied while blending in to the environment. Teaching as a profession has changed over a period of time and so has the role of a teacher. The conventional role of a teacher was to just impart information to students and students were expected to learn and understand it. Now, with extensive research done on how student learn, a new insight has developed and hence the role of teacher has changed. Innumerable learning theories, e.g. Sensory, Kolb’s experiential theory, Skinner’s behaviorist’s theory and the learning domains (Cognitive, Psychomotor, Affective) Gravells (2008),(Behavioral, Cognitive and Humanistic) Roger (1996) have been identified and related to diverse strategies to cope with individual learning styles. On the other hand, Reece and Walker (2006) provides an overview of models of learning indicating that a teacher has to follow different kinds of approaches which suits the students (Appendix 1). Roger (1996) has indicated that these theories have originated from understanding of the major contemporary changes in the culture. They have all focused on active nature of learners (Andragogy); students learn when they are motivated to...

(Dewey, 1933 p.12) Part 1: With this in mind, consider critically and analytically the purpose and value of reflection and reflective practice, supporting your discussion with relevant reading. Chloe Carter-Miles 6th November 2012 Contents Main Body of Text Page 3 References Page 11 Bibliography Page 13 Appendices Page 16 List of Appendices Appendix 1 Kolb’s Cycle of Experiential Learning Appendix 2 Gibbs Model of Reflection (1988) Appendix 3 Moon’s Model of Reflection Appendix 4 Blooms Taxonomy; original and revised This essay will explore the purpose and value of reflective practice as a trainee teacher, and how it supports learning. Dewey (1916) defines education as ‘It is that reconstruction or reorganization of experience which adds to the meaning of experience, and which increases ability to direct the course of subsequent experience.’ The pertinent word to note in this quote is ‘experience’. Since Dewey highlighted the importance of reflective practice in the early part of the 20th Century, many other academics and practitioners have explored and written about it. Many different reflective models have been published, and they all have variations, however the one consistency among all of the models is that the process of reflection has...

Many conditions attributed to the exponential growth (i.e.: favourable tax regime, stable political climate, effective regulatory bodies) and prima facie, the robust human capital supporting its economy has well augmented it to be an economic powerhouse (Hui, & Toh, 2014) – despite the disparity in land size compared to her neighbours and the lack of natural resources. Section one of this reflective commentary examines the factors concerning and influencing Singapore’s graduate employment opportunities (GEO) from different perspectives and viewpoints. Section two delves into my professional career pathway till date. Deliberating input from psychometric analysis, peer feedback and personal preferences, this commentary discusses on the suitability of my desired role as a Business Development Manager at an Online Travel Agency (OTA).

These idea also help any person currently in any learning environment. The adult learner feel that they don't have the time like they usually have. Most people now would be thinking of themselves. There an question that adults learner ask themselves. Are we will to make an sacrifices?

...education are evident in the international literature. Some of the trends and issues from this literature are highlighted in this Alert. Publications from the Fifth International Conference on Adult Education held in Hamburg, Germany, in July 1997 are a particularly rich source of information on international perspectives about adult education. Sponsored by the UNESCO Institute for Education (UIE), the conference brought together more than 1,500 adult educators from around the world who participated in plenary sessions, workshops, and roundtables to shape statements about adult education and develop actions for the future. A clear trend in the conference and the documents it produced was the critical importance of adult education and adult learning "for fostering ecologically sustainable development, for promoting democracy, justice, gender equity, and scientific, social and economic development, and for building a world in which violent conflict is replaced by dialogue and a culture of peace based on justice" (UIE 1997a, p. 1).

...Assignment 404 Resources in the classroom A resource is described as something which can be turned to for support or help, or an available supply of something to be drawn upon when needed. (Grolier 1981). I find that the resources I use in the classroom are a valuable aid when I am teaching and will help the students who have different learning styles and needs. All resources used should meet the needs of learners so that all students feel equal. "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." (Confucius 551-479 BC) .This quote indicates that from the early ages people had different learning preferences. I begin my lessons by telling the student what the learning objectives and success criteria are. As I tell the students what they are I will point to the relevant parts on the whiteboard so that they can refer back to them at any given time. I tend to use power point to start all my lessons as this gives the students a good a focal point to begin with. This can be a good way for individual or group work where learners can read aloud what is being presented. This is a good way to help students with their reading skills as they do not see it as an English lesson. The power point can be stopped at any given point depending on the ability of the students in the lesson being delivered. After the power point I will give out differentiated worksheets which the student will complete on the sheet or in their workbook. The...

...Running head: TYPING TEMPLATE FOR APA PAPERS Lifelong Learning Jennifer Sobel Grand Canyon University: PCN 303 March 16th 2012 Lifelong Learning The process of life is clearly lifelong. The process of learning is as well. How we choose to learn, what we choose to learn and in the manner in which we choose to learn resides in the power of ourselves. Complementing our life, we have careers; starting a career and continuing to grow through it requires both personal and professional growth. Enter education, experience and observation. All of these play into this process. Therefore, in order to be an effective anything, let’s say, counselor in the field of addiction, there are numerous paths one can take. Developing a vision for leadership mentoring continued education and participation in professional organizations will all aid greatly in staying connected and building a strong reputation as an addiction counselor. Below is my plan. In developing a personal leadership vision, I think it is most important for a person like me to truly believe in the vision of the organization I work for. It would be my intention to work for an inpatient treatment facility. These facilities are often corrupted and swayed by money. It will be very important for me to work for an organization that operates from a value of integrity that speaks toward the client. In other words, regardless of how much a client is paying, if they are not participating in recovery and...

...Objectives Burns, R. 2002, The adult learner at work the challenges of lifelong education in the new millennium, 2nd edition. Crows Nest, New South Wales. Allen & Unwin. 1. p. 229 (Additive - Objective # 2) These goals are possible only where individuality is an asset, where belonging and acceptance are supreme, where there are opportunities to explore and gain self-understanding, where there is trust, dignity and security and where self-confidence, self-reliance, originality, responsibility and independence are encouraged. It is only in this sort of learning that a person is open to experience and therefore capable of maximal utilisation of their potentialities and environmental opportunities for self-development, learning how to learn and developing the curiosity, enjoyment and intrinsic satisfaction from learning that will draw them back again and again to lifelong learning. 2. p. 231 (Variant - Objective # 2) The learner has to adjust themselves to an established curriculum and teaching method. As self-direction and self-responsibility are not encouraged, the growing maturity of young people creates a gap between the need and ability to be self-directing and the opportunity to do so. Hence the tension, resentment and even rebellion that is common in secondary schools today. The child's experience is not counted of worth. Learners only learn what is in the syllabus or what they must pass. Learning experiences are organised round the logic of the artificial subject...

Укутать голову целлофановой пленкой или пакетом, сверху одеть теплую шапочку, платок или повязать махровое полотенце. Уж кто как привык! Ждать нужно от 15 минут до 1 часа, в зависимости от того, как сильно «припекает». Если терпимо, то лучше походить так 1 час, мечтая о длинной роскошной косе. А если уж совсем «пожар» на голове, то только 15-20 минут. ВНИМАНИЕ! 15 минут надо высидеть первый раз обязательно, даже если кажется, что на голове произошла атомная война. За 15 минут никакого вреда коже головы и волосам не будет (проверено многими), а привыкнув, вы потом и полчаса и час просидите. Маску нужно делать 1 раз в неделю, максимум 2 раза при очень жирных волосах (маска немного убирает излишние выделения кожного сала). После смойте маску слегка теплой водой, затем промойте волосы шампунем. Можно для...

...Factors Influencing Current Adult Learning Abstract AET/505 November 11, 2012 Factors Influencing Current Adult Learning Abstract The global trend for adult learning is that everyone agrees that participation is good thing, however they all realize there are barriers to participation (Brookfield, S.,2000). The future of adult education is that first information on adult education learning has to be received by the workforces of the world (Kasworm, C., 2007). The future also depends on the digitbal provides of education that need to create accessible and universal opportunities for adult learners (Kasworm, C., 2007). Knowledge is updated daily and these providers must keep up with the world. Technology is changing every day and those that want to provide the education opportunities must change with it. The digital educators must realize that the workforce they are continually educating is not always those that are working. They sometimes will be the undereducated, the disenfranchised and the dislocated worker. All will be trying to further their educations in hope of a better job or life (Kasworm, C., 2007). The educators are not always the edcuational institutions, they include government at all levels, employers and community institutions such as librarys (Merriam, S., Caffarella, R., & Baumgartner, L. ,2007). It is proven that the adults that are socialized and take advantage of the learning opportunities will acquire the skills needed to further their lives...

...Problem Learning Information The Testing Problem Adult learning theories aid in understanding and analyzing how adults learn, the problems they face, and how to make the process more effective. This issue holds great value for the academic audience because when understood properly, it can help teachers be more efficient in their teaching process and be further receptive and approachable to the requirements of the learners. One of the most widespread ways to assess learning is through testing, however, many theorists question the effectiveness of judging learning by testing because all the learners do is memorize the information and write it down. According to Mezirow, learning isn’t simply a memorization process but is a channel through which students can reflect on various worldly notions and experience some form of enlightenment in their sphere of comprehension (Mezirow, 3-24). Memorization significantly hinders learning as it is only the retention of information for a short period of time and not the actual understanding of it. Freire believes learning should be engaging and should compel you to reflect upon the forces that bind hence ultimately emancipating you from problems (Loyd, 3-20). According to Freire, the more students partake in memorization and tests, the more they will stop to think for themselves and gain that critical awareness. In such a situation, both the learner and the instructor would be at a loss (Loyd, 3-20). Freire and Mezirow talk about about...
