Cengage Learning

school and like learning. They love, trust and admire their teachers and are eager to please. They have a strong desire to learn and are excited to learn about almost any topic. They are young and seem to learn best through hands on activities and being involved in their learning. They will need materials that are visually appealing and relate to their lives. Since they are young their attention spans are relatively short and they will need time to move. Kinesthetic learning would benefit…

I believe that my writing and analysis are where they need to be for me, I say that only because I am not going to be a professional writer, I am more than adequate for the career I am pursuing. I often have a hard time being critical of myself, seems that the time for self analysis is here and I am perturbed by the idea of examining myself at the end of a class. I have a hard time with it because whatever I feel like I say is subjective, I believe that I have done a good job in the class and…

process of venturing through my mind and I discovered far more about myself than I knew prior, I learned how to exercise my learning style in terms of skill development throughout the course of everyday learning. Learning across the lifespan has created a way for me to understand things in order to gain a deeper knowledge as I take the time necessary to explore a subject. Learning new ways to inform myself through acknowledging and understanding the best order to process information has made it…

QUALITIES OF A SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT Since I stepped on the land of United States last December, I have been in the College of San Mateo for two semesters. Along with my studying here, I have had a deeper understanding of the qualities of a successful community college student. Unlike the courses in my high school in China where all the students are concentrated in a same class and taught by the same teachers, the courses in community college here are more flexible because the…

learn and develop their knowledge, language, form relationships and continually enhance their social skills to be assimilated into the society in which they reside (Berns, 2013; Grusec, 2011). Therefore, socialisation plays a vital role in children’s learning and development as the socialisation process aims to establish a self-concept, self-regulation, empower achievements, teach appropriate social roles and implement developmental…

and learning. To start off, Miss Caroline has a very strict style of teaching that comes partly from the fact that she is actually a teacher. But, really it is more to do with the fact that she has just started teaching and is still trying to learn how to be a teacher. She is very much against the idea of independent…

Have you ever seen people that look, dress, act, or have interest that are different from you? What do you think about them? They are a bunch of weird people, and you are likely start to tease and make them your laughing stock. After reading “ We’re All Different in Our Own ways” by Joshua Yuschasz from NPR’s This I Believe, I started to wonder about if I had ever done the same as those people stated earlier. If so, then I need to change my way of conceiving by giving them respect for their…

difficult for me to learn English. There are many reasons why people decide to teach aboard, like traveling, learning different cultures, etc. The main reason I want to go Korea is because I want to help people learn English. I believe the best teachers are the ones who have experienced the hardship of learning the subject. I know the struggles students are going through when trying learning a second language. I will be able to teach them some techniques I used. One example is when I was…

Technology or Textbooks Have you ever sat down and wondered if technology has improved or lessened the learning scale of the education system? What determines this? It’s not whether or not the information is useful, but it’s the factors of our everyday lives in school that determine whether technology is really the best option. On average, students in the U.S. get about 15% of the teacher’s work time when needed and in the class room there are 30 students to get around to. Unlike the teacher,…

this degree to increase my knowledge on choreography and pedagogy. While I have had limited experience with teaching dance and choreographing, I have not been taught these trades in a serious and professional manner. Therefore, I look forward to learning and practicing the trades that the dance program has to offer. It is probably one of the most exciting aspects of my education to this point. The work that has been put into the program from the staff and faculty is…
