Implementing Personal Development Lectures On Student's Daily Education

Improved Essays
It is never too late to learn skills and develop yourself. My preposition is to implement personal development lectures on student’s daily education. Personal development helps identify the strengths of a student. Students face different circumstances in life that can cause them to feel no hope looking into the future, personal development lectures explain what procrastination is, how to recognize the best learning style, and understand personality traits.
Growing up and accepting the consequences of procrastination is difficult to deal with. “It is never too late,” I believe in this phrase and think of this phrase when I do not do the rights things since the start. “Through self-awareness, we can achieve growth. Through the recognition of choice, we can better take personal responsibility for our own behavior to better captain our own souls (as William Ernest Henley might put it).”(Mierop) Procrastination is when you misuse your time and postponed doing things until the last minute, I believe procrastination can be the worst enemy for a person to succeed. Implementing personal development lectures on daily basis in a classroom can be reflected in a student point of view. There are stressful moments in college and not recognizing what procrastination is can lead a student to drop from college when facing problems.

    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.…

    According to The Vark learning styles questionnaire the two learning styles that I learn best with best are aural and kinesthetic. Aural means I learn best when hearing the information spoken and by asking questions about the concept I am learning.

I have found that I when attended class and really focus on what the instructor or professor is teaching I am able to grasp the concept that is being taught.…

    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.…

    In Charles Duhigg’s book The Power of Habit, he asserts people can understand and change personal habits. Duhigg backs this claim with a description of the so-called habit loop composed of a cue, routine, and reward, pointing out the cues start habits and rewards signal the brain to remember routines. The author's purpose is to give information about habit loops people so they can understand how habits work and thus change them. With Duhigg’s insight about habits, students can stop the bad habit of procrastination, which is the habit of delaying assignments until the last minute. In particular, students should “recognize which craving is the driving behavior” of procrastination and change it as a first step to stop (50).…

    My finding from the self-assessment comes as no surprise. I have a kinesthetic learning style, but both visual and auditory styles are close behind, I have become flexible in learning styles, depending on the subject I am studying will determine the type of style works best to obtain the most of the information, for example, I will gain more on new work instruction at work by practicing the process several times before I am comfortable; although, when learning stories from the bible, I pick up more by discussing the topic with other church members during bible study. I am a visual learner for standardized information, I absorb best by reading the information. My temperament is a director, again, this comes at no surprise. I am a result-driven…

    C. Explain how different assessment methods can be adapted to meet individual learner needs The students’ ability to learn, to interpret and to process knowledge varies according to their prior knowledge, experience and health condition. So that different students require varying degrees of assessment and assistance.
