Reflective Assessment

I do agree with the outcomes of this assessment. My assessment shows that I am able to learn in any of these ways. This to me means that I am capable of adjusting to the way I am being taught no matter how I am being taught. However, while I am able to utilize all four styles of teaching I had the highest score in “Doing” and “Thinking”. This means that I tend to ask more “how” and “what” questions rather than anything else. I am more of a logical person and tend to like things to be clearly stated and written or even hands on. So I do think that this assessment is rather accurate.

I never really knew the term for how I learned. I would always just describe the way that I learn and comprehend things to people instead. So when ever asked

This method is more of a hands on approach. Where you need to be able to see models and work with your hands to learn best what is happening and how it is working. It also tends to be an organized and step-by-step type of learning. I am always writing lists and making sure that I have everything that I need to accomplish what needs to be done actually done. The “Thinking” method of learning is my second best category and I think to stay in that category I will just continue to do as I have been. I will continue to analyze the entire situation and write my lists so that I can stay on track and focused on the topic at hand. As well as continuing to use my textbook, the library, and other logical resources to complete my studies and work. The one thing that I don’t agree with is that they say that people who learn by the “Thinking” method tend to like when their instructors give well informed lectures on the topic. Since I have a hard time staying focused on speeches this is a part of this style of learning that doesn’t fit me very well. To learn better in the “Feeling” category I would need to be more comfortable with abstract ideas and emotions more than facts and logic. Plus I would need to learn how to be friendlier with classmates so that we could continue the topics outside the classroom. That’s a little

    This week’s reflection assignment is to write about an event that occurred applying the “functional assessment model” (Cory, P. 262), Activating Event, Belief, and Emotional and Behavioral Consequence. I was searching for an activating event to explain and everything prior to the death of my daughter seems to be insignificant, and hard for me to actually remember. Therefore, after some hesitation, I choose to write about the day I was told my daughter had passed away. In addition, I will analyze the situation using the ABC’s of the Behavioral Therapy technique as described in Chapter 9 from the text book called, Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy, by Gerald Cory.…

    Introduction Definitions of intelligence vary among scholars, theorists, and laypersons, due to its multidimensionality. However, intelligence typically involves an individual’s ability to learn from experience and adapt to the environment in which they live. I believe that the construct of intelligence should encompass an individual’s ability to effectively communicate in both written and verbal form, to think logically, and to express creativity. Two intelligence tests in which I recently had the opportunity to take and score included the Shipley Institute of Living Scale-2 and the Wonderlic Personnel Test.…

    The purpose of this paper is to identify and compare the meaning as well as the differences of three learning styles as they relate to both the academic and professional realm. I have chosen these three styles because I believe the majority of people are either visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. Each person has his or her own way of converting, processing, storing, and retrieving information. The way we connect the information is an important part of the learning process. Learning is an individual process unique to everyone and as individuals we tend to prefer different learning methods.…

    One strategy that meets these needs is teaching critical thinking. Critical thinking will help the students to understand the logical connections between ideas. The students will be able to identify, construct and evaluate arguments. Teaching critical thinking will equip the students with the knowledge to detect inconsistencies and common mistakes in reasoning. Most students can’t “pick up” critical thinking abilities along the way in a course that centers on content.…

    One area that I believe I was successful in was in regards to competency 3.3, 3.8 and 3.12. While caring for a client who had been experiencing chest pain prior to me coming on shift, I ensured that I spoke with my nurse about the changes to expect and how to respond if the changes should arise during my care. I also made sure to take frequent vital signs and use subjective questioning to determine any changes in the status of my client. This allowed me to skillfully implement appropriate nursing care and prepare myself for a situation that could potentially change rather quickly. One area that I have been working on and would like to improve upon is developing mini DM assignments with each client that I take into my care.…

    Twelve weeks later, my first college writing course completed, and to my pleasant almost surprise, I feel as though I have bettered myself in writing. If you look back at my Mid-term Reflection, walking into my first undergraduate writing class was a little unsettling. Was I going to be totally on top of everything the professor threw at us students or was I going to be completely unprepared? Rhetoric and Composition 103 was neither one nor the other, but a writing class that took what I knew and what I did not to create a well-rounded writer. By the time Mid-term’s rolled around, I could already see a change in my skills as a writer.…

    Initially, I was aware that I am an auditory learner before taking the learning style assessment. However, I also assumed that I would score higher as a visual learner on the questionnaire. According to my learning style results, I scored a total of thirty-two points for auditory preferences for learning, compared to my scoring for both visual and tactile learning style that resulted in twenty-six points. After evaluating my assessment, I can recall from my past experiences in several of my science courses, where I used auditory learning style more during class lectures compared to visual style. To clarify, and as stated in my previous journal entries, before changing my major to health sciences, I was a radiology major.…
