For example, I knew how to create a goal but not a detailed one were its something I’m actually going to try. Like, on binder checks those goals we set I tried to achieve them so overall those helped to improve my binder check grades or even my Cornell Notes. One of the examples I saw on the WICOR board was mental preparedness and I was surprised because I actually do that. Reading-Reading has helped me become a better student because now I am not only able to read books on my reading level but above it as well. The more I read this year the more I grew with knowledge and understanding.…
When I first arrived back to America at the age of five, I did not know a word of English. A few months after my arrival, my English enhanced dramatically because of my teacher’s motivation and guidance; she encouraged me with her stories about learning English. In order for me to tell my story, I need to think about the rhetorical situation. With the completion of my essay, I was able to achieve the Course Learning Outcomes after I wrote my story.…
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. The other way I learn best is being kinesthetic which means I use my five senses and hands on experiences to help me learn. The Aural side of me likes to remember stories, examples, and jokes, to be to relate them to 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.…
Effective goals are essential in student’s life in order to complete tasks of high importance, those who set these are likely to reach them. Educational goals motivate the pupil to put in academic effort in order to achieve their ultimate goal. Goals that are set then completed create a sense of achievement plus accomplishment that could lead to achieving bigger goals. Successful people always have had clear, focused goals that guide them into greatness (Laura A Rader). Goal setting involves multiple steps, which involve the setting of academic short-term goals and long ones.…
Domain 3D, Using Assessment in Instruction, gauges how the students are doing in the class. “Teachers gather what the student did not understand from evaluating “wrong” answers.” There are four components to Domain 3D: “assessment criteria, monitoring of student learning, feedback to students, and student self-assessment and monitoring of progress.” Assessment criteria refers to the way teachers create evaluations, and what types of examinations they create (refer to Domain 1F).…
The way we feel about a subject can eventual effect the way we learn it. Teachers strive to provide every students with a learning environment that allows students to demonstrate their ability to store the knowledge they have acquired. To obtain this goals teachers need to provide both an inclusive and emotional supportive learning environment. My goal for this simulation was to have my students’ academic, conscientiousness, and agreeableness levels to remain high. My hope in setting this goal was to promote higher academic understanding by using effective group placement, and individual assignments selection.…

Student development theories are important to learn and to incorporate into any student affairs professional’s practice. In order to do so, one needs to learn about the wide breadth of possible theories, some which are applicable to many fields and others are more specialized. For example the highlights I learned from class are things I found applicable to my current job and future career goals as an academic advisor. Some of these highlights were theories that focused on understanding how general student populations think or what issues they may be experiencing in various stages of development.…

When I was started my 6th grade year, I was so happy to be on the third floor of my school. That meant that I was a middle schooler and for that I was excited and thought it would be a lots of fun. Once I got into my classes they all felt really boring. I asked a few of my teachers if they could do a poll and ask students what we would want to learn so that it would make our classes more fun. My suggestion was for the teachers to let each student make a list of five things that they want to learn.…
Title: VARK ANALYSIS PAPER Name: Zainab Moriba Institution: Grand Canyon University This paper explores the connection between students and preferred learning style. A constructivist perspective of student learning can be described as a progression of internalizing or building the knowledge presented by interactions with the instructor and other students (Dunn et al., 1995). Students these days have very busy lives and are always looking for study methods. There are tons of different study methods in use this day, one of the most popular is the Visual, aural /auditory, read/write and kinesthetic (VARK).…
“Short-term lets you hold a restaurant's phone number in your mind as you dial the number, you rely on your short-term memory. This storage is capable of holding roughly seven items of information for approximately 15 to 20 seconds.” (Foster, 2011) Short-term memory is very restricted and needs to make room for all original knowledge coming in consistently. “Long-term is a more permanent storage, hoarding information over hours, days or years. This information can take the form of declarative memories, which include simple facts or specific episodes in your life, or procedural memories to do with skills, such as how to ride a bike.”…
I have discovered that history is an active engagement of analytical techniques to generate questions and develop answers, and not about memorization of names, dates, and battles. There is no new information to be gained from that, and while it is important to know, does not contribute actively to the betterment of knowledge about our past. Learning that history is not just a body of material you observe, but a study you engage and do, has been a major change in my view of history that I have gained through this course. Before I began this class, I viewed history as a passive study. I thought all there was to a history courses was memorizing dates, names, battles, and events.…
Goals For Students The goals that I have for my student are numerous. I hope that they not only take in the knowledge I am trying to pass on to them, but that they also use it. The optimal goal is that I can provide a safe, secure, optimal conditions for the desired learning to take place in the set amount of time offered for teacher/student interactions. Another goal is that I am able to motivate the students to set, and work towards their own set of goals.…
