The Learning Principles Starting the Connections Principles: 1. Interest. A person should be self-motivated and compel to learn, due to the fact that our brain prioritizes the concepts and contents, for which a person in intrinsically motivated. Having interest for a topic, lesson, chapter or book can genuinely make a difference for our brain. This happen, because our brain prioritizes by interest, meaning, value, and relevance. It is also important to understand, you will learn something…

Philosophy of Education I believe there is much power in art education and preparing our future generations for the world of creativity that is ever evolving. I believe a successful art education is built through four means: active learning, character building, providing meaningful curriculum, and building a useful 21st century skill set. As I have learned from and been highly influenced from Piaget’s constructivist views of education, each person makes sense of the world by connecting new…

Scaffolding The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) illustrates what the learner can perform with and without the teacher’s help. The teaching framework that aids the learner’s transition from conceptual application with help to application without help is scaffolding (Vygotsky, 1978). Likewise, Basu, Sengupta, and Biswas (2014) describe inquiry learning as an agent of scaffolding. As the level of subject difficulty rises, it becomes more important for teachers to identify the collective…

The world is composed of more than seven billion individuals. With a large number of inhabitants on Earth, people are bound to have differences between each other. An area where diversity can be observed among individuals is in their ability to learn information efficiently and effectively. A publication from North Carolina State University called Learning Styles and Strategies written by Richard Felder and Barbra Soloman, discusses various learning styles and strategies that people use in…

churches that have never had one before and we just come along side and help those who just need a few more workers. Most weeks we would lead two schools one in the morning and one at night. Thorugh this role, I can see how I have grown in emotional intelligence. I also see now looking back, how I could have shown or practiced it better and been a better leader. Since the first summer of being the leader to this past summer my self- awareness has changed drastically.…

Students can be actively and consistently engaged throughout a lesson; the key to this is selecting activities that will allow for them to be so engaged (Smith, 2013). Sessions that started with the Inquiry Approach allowed for effective questioning which in turn encouraged discussion among the students and with the teacher. The Inquiry Approach caused students to think about the subject matter and pursue their own line of questioning in the form of a Class Discussion. In constructivist…

Over the years I learned everyone learns differently. Theirs not only one way of learning. Some people learn faster than others. Learning is an amazing thing , and people should understand the different styles of learning. When I was younger I never had to wash my own clothes , because my mom always did all the cleaning for me. I always thought she would be doing this for the rest of my life there’s no need for me to learn how to wash clothes. The day I turned fifthten is when my mom told me and…

An important part of learning how to teach is rooted in the art observation. This skill has contributed to our own cognitive growth from infancy and is embedded through the processes of exposed environments and observation of social structures. Gaining new techniques and strategies from observations are beneficial for they add to existing notions about successful teaching and introduce new perspectives concerning classroom set-up, presence, and classroom management. This paper will focus on my…

The work I am going to be focusing on for this cognitive biography is work within my own job. I work as a cashier in one store of a family-owned video store, Family Video. Businesses in the movie rental industry are becoming few and far between due to options such as Redbox, Netflix and on-demand movie streaming. When asked how Family Video continues to stay open and do well, employees are supposed to respond with the Family Video mission statement, “Family Video’s mission is to be our…

Learning, to me, is simply the acquisition of skills that add value to one’s life, be it from the streets, in a classroom or even in the market. It is the one process that people do on a daily basis, and depending on how one looks at it, there can be diverse approaches to learning. Some of these approaches are based on the different experiences of the different people. Thus, because people approach learning in different ways, there is bound to be differences in the way people define effective…
