...Clinical Psychology; Name: Institution: In answering the above question, one must understand the contributions of the contemporary psychology that is fascinated by human relationships and behavior. The aims of clinical psychology are noble, which is to use principles of psychology as well as our understanding of the human behavior in promoting quality of life, health, and finally happiness. Looking at the patient who wants more time in psychotherapy and is challenging my competencies, as a psychologist, I must use new skills in tackling the issue in order to develop better applications and make the patient understand the treatment processes. The typical therapy session is often 45 – 50 minutes, and therapy interventions might take less time. The standard starting and ending times as well as the session length provide a means for patients and therapists to observe emotional reactions (Plante, 2005). Psychotherapy is imbalance because it allows the clients to talk more, but its goal is to meet the needs of the client. Therefore, in the therapy room there is always a power differential between the therapist and client. Patients understand that this arena involves the specialized knowledge of the therapist. The therapist is required to explain to the patient the ground rules, psychotherapy framework, and assure them that they are acting for the best interest of the client (Bonanno & Burton, 2013). Opening up during psychotherapy can stir up primitive portions...

There is a need to understand the role that a manager plays. It’s just to place a high premium on understanding what factors are responsible for perceptions , the factors affecting perception and the perception process thereby helping us to understand how it affects behavior and in turn the organization. Factors that affect our perception can be classified into 3 categories. Firstly, factors related to the perceiver, which includes interests, experience, motives, attitude and expectations. Secondly, factors that are related to the stimuli, factors including motion, size, proximity, sound and background. Thirdly, factors related to the situation or the environment, which includes time, work setting and social setting. A leap in the field of understanding ways to make the best of employee’s strengths was through a new perspective of the science of psychology itself; Martin Seligman wanted psychology to be thought of as the study of the best things in life. The aim of positive psychology is to use scientific methodology to discover factors that allow individuals, group, organizations and communities to thrive. There are three levels of positive psychology, valued subjective experiences, positive individual traits and civic virtues.

Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer -“the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions” (1990) Four factors of EI 1. the perception of emotion 2. the ability reason using emotions 3. the ability to understand emotion 4. the ability to manage emotions IMPORTANCE OF EI : Emotions play a significant role in the way people work with one another and therefore affects profits.

...Review your role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher in terms of the teaching and training cycle. & Summarise the key aspects of current legislative requirements and codes of practice relevant to your subject and type of organization within which you work. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” William A. Ward (www.adprima.com), 2011 Teaching is both an art and science. Science because it is a systematic knowledge gained through observation and experimentation (exploration) and art 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.

...Creativity In Schools: A Maltese Perspective Paper presented during the First International Conference on Strategic Innovation and Future Creation, Malta, March 2009 Shirley Pulis Xerxen 1 The knowledge and skills needed in the future may not even be known at the time a person attends school or university. As a result, these institutions cannot limit themselves to the transmission of set contents, techniques and values, since these will soon be useless or even detrimental to living a full life. (Cropley, 2006, p. 136)1 Introduction In this paper I attempt to provide some insight about the teaching of thinking and creativity in schools by drawing parallels between what is found on this subject in the literature, my experience as a teacher of thinking skills in Primary schools in Maltai and from findings that emerge from a questionnaire that I conducted with Maltese Primary and Secondary school teachers to analyse their perceptions on the teaching and learning of creativity, compatible with the educational values of current pedagogical practices. Facing today’s challenges Educators are being increasingly faced with the ever-growing call for entrepreneurial citizens who value openness, diversity and creativity, who are able to design the future in all areas of their life. This demands that a school’s curriculum must be open and flexible enough to accommodate these new perspectives. This paper focuses on the need for a holistic approach to creativity in education, an...

...Critical Thinkers and Education A Teachers Goal Bia Mcgrue Scypion EDU372: Educational Psychology Prof. Jimletta Vareene-Thomas 2/20/2016 Critical Thinkers and Education A Teachers Goal Throughout life we are challenged and we encounter an abundance of issues or problems that we need to solve. Some problems that can be resolved effortlessly and efficiently but other obstacles may require a more critical and creative thinking to overcome. When it comes down to thinking to solve problems we depend on our thinking or give some regurgitated answer that we just read. But “much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed, or downright prejudiced” (TCTC, 2016). The purpose of critical thinking is so that we are able to not only accomplish or attain understanding but also so we can assess or check each other’s frame of reference and eventually clarify the question or dilemma at hand. Some would argue whose challenge is it to get students to move pass their beliefs and assumption. Is it on students to dig deeper to gain or find additional tools and information that leads to developing a more in depth thought process. Richard Dawkins expressed that we should “not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you” (Dawkins, 2015).

...Bloom's Taxonomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Bloom's Wheel, according to the Bloom's verbs and matching assessment types. The verbs are intended to be feasible and measurable. Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of educational goals[1] (referred to as simply "the Handbook" below). Although named for Bloom, the publication followed a series of conferences from 1949 to 1953, which were designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula and examinations.[2][3] It refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). Bloom's Taxonomy divides educational objectives into three "domains": Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor (sometimes loosely described as knowing/head, feeling/heart and doing/hands respectively). Within the domains, learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels.[4] A goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education.[1] A revised version of the taxonomy was created in 2000.[5][6][7] Bloom's Taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community...

An individual's personality is an aggregate conglomeration of the decisions they have made throughout their life and the memory of the experiences to which these decisions led. There are inherent natural, genetic, and environmental factors that contribute to the development of our personality. According to process of socialization, "personality also colors our values, beliefs, and expectations. Hereditary factors that contribute to personality development do so as a result of interactions with the particular social environment in which people live." There are several personality types as Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers illustrated in several personalities typology tests, which are based on Carl Jung's school of Analytical psychology. However, these tests only provide enlightenment based on the preliminary insight scored according to the answers judged by the parameters of the test. Other theories on personality development include Jean Piaget's stages of development, Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, and personality development in Sigmund Freud's theory being formed through the interaction of id, ego, and super-ego.

...NAAC The NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL (NAAC) is an autonomous body established by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India to assess and accredit institutions of higher education in the country. It is an outcome of the recommendations of the National Policy in Education (1986) that laid special emphasis on upholding the quality of higher education in India. The system of higher education in India has expanded rapidly during the last fifty years. In spite of the built-in regulatory mechanisms that ensure satisfactory levels of quality in the functioning of higher education institutions, there have been criticisms that the country has permitted the mushrooming of institutions of higher education with fancy programme and substandard facilities and consequent dilution of standards.To address the issues of deterioration in quality, the National Policy on Education (1986) and the Plan of Action (POA-1992) that spelt out the strategic plans for the policies, advocated the establishment of an independent national accreditation body. Consequently, the NAAC was established in 1994 with its headquarters at Bangalore. Governance The NAAC functions through its General Council (GC) and Executive Committee (EC) where educational administrators, policy makers and senior academicians from a cross-section of the system of higher education are represented. The Chairperson of the UGC is the President of the GC of the NAAC, the Chairperson of the EC is an eminent academician...
