Three learning theories that will be addressed in this discussion are as follows, self-directed and optimized, transformative, and critical reflection. Chen (2014) investigates “adult learners are self-directed and their learning is optimized when their experience is recognized and utilized in the learning process” (p. 407). Adult students are not 'clear slates' and their background turns into the medium through which substance is found out and in which to rethink new objectives to achieve (Chen, 2014). Self-directed is appropriate for an adult due to the connection that is made with their life experiences, the adult is able to plan and implement learning based upon their desire and initiation to learn. Self-directed is inappropriate for children because children rely upon the teacher as the caretaker to their education and implementation of it.…

Like so many, I felt an undeniable call to action after watching Davis Guggenheim’s film Waiting for Superman. The film poignantly illustrates the imperative need for a long overdue paradigm shift in American education. In the film, activist, educator and founder of the Harlem Children’s Zone, Geoffrey Canada, shares the disillusionment he felt as a child upon realizing that Superman was not coming to save him from the perils of his impoverished South Bronx neighborhood. His message in the film is that we must become our own superheroes.…
When the adult student is presented with the unknown, they tend to draw back and feel inadequate. They are encouraged from the start of the course to ask questions and not to be ashamed when they are not able to perform an assignment on the first try. They are given the opportunity to celebrate their success when they accomplish the task with their other classmates; thus, they are encouraged to continue to the next task. They control how long it takes them to complete a task; subsequently, this helps the student to effectively attribute their success to their capability, effort and knowledge (Merriam & Bierema, 2014). Attitude sets the stage for both the educator and adult students to attain their learning goals; therefore, it is vital that each course taught motivates the students to reach for the next level.…

Introduction The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education has been called “arguably, the most successful, most extensive and most sustained example of radical or progressive education that has ever been” (Moss, 2016, p. 167). Drawing inspiration from theorists such as Montessori, Dewey, and Piaget, Loris Malaguzzi created a social constructivist approach, which envisioned learning as an active process. Under Reggio Emilia, children are seen as unique and capable individuals who co-construct knowledge with their peers, teachers, and environment through the use of a variety of materials/mediums. Curricular/Pedagogical approach The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education is named after the city in Italy in which it…
