Tacit knowledge

The absence of chaos is heavily dependent on a solid set of rules and enforcement of said rules. Rules give structure to a classroom and also helps maintain order. In the event rules are not in place the teacher will have no mechanism to establish a presence within a classroom and they will struggle to put down class disruptions. Rules also provide a stable environment in case a substitute comes in and they do not have to establish order before teaching. While students might think that rules are…

One of the most important tasks of developing training with most beneficial results is to ensure that students retain the necessary knowledge and skills they will need to succeed. Experiential Learning allows students to learn hands on by trying the skills they are being taught in real life scenarios. Experiential Learning is learning that is taking place because the learner has actually experienced the tasks or activities he or she is trying to learn (Yardley, Teunissen, & Dornan, 2012). For…

My post-formalist period: Learning about history through literature and philosophy As I posited in my theory critique, post-formalism describes a process of drawing upon one’s personal experience, and combining it with knowledge acquisition in order to make sense of the world and one’s place in it. In this scenario, the teacher takes on the role of facilitator – one who is responsible for providing the opportunity to arrive at that crossroads. This is how I came to gain a more nuanced…

Boundaries are present in many forms and at times can be quite complex; from age, confidence, learning styles, culture, physical ability, financial and emotional needs, (Petty, 2004) early recognition is paramount. Through the teacher’s ability, knowledge, experience and initial assessments, working with learners closely and giving the guidance and support required, boundaries can be overcome or points of reference provided to allow the participants to gain a better understanding. Where help is…

(p.463, 178c) According to Phaedrus, when a man loves another man it is pure beauty, a virtuous life lesson for the young man. By the young boy having an older man as a lover they each gained something from one another. The young boy gains guidance and maturity while in return the lover gains the very much treasured heavenly love: When the lover is able to help the young man become wiser and better, and the young man is eager to be taught and improved by this lover... it is honorable for a young…

In agreement with Kreitner and Kinicki (2013, p. 501) a learning organization is defined as, “One that proactively creates, acquires, and transfers knowledge and that changes its behavior on the basis of new knowledge and insights.” Not to mention, a learning organization has the ability to intensify the magnitude that we absorb and master the necessary skills or information needed to reshape the manner in which processes take place (Gephart & Marsick, 1996). I would classify my…

Standards of Literacy and Numeracy in Australia Literacy and Numeracy standards can vary from place to place. Moving from one country to another has helped me to understand the differences and to be conscious of Australian standards. These standards are important in this country to both teachers and students. This is clearly demonstrated in the volume of testing that is performed, ranging from NAPLAN to the required test that a pre-service teacher must complete in order to enter the workforce…

I believe that classrooms need to be universally designed in order to best meet the needs of all learners. Teaching explicit learning strategies to students and using these strategies universally in the classroom are so very important to ensure success for all learners. Reflection is aspect of many macrostrategies (Marzano, 2007). As students reflect on their learning, they gain important assessment information about how they perceive the efficacy of their thinking (Costa & identify and…
