Intentionality

During my work with children, we frequently engage in games such as Dominos, Uno, Picture Bingo and Memory. The mathematical thinking process of matching is found in these games (Yelland, Butler & Diezmann, 1999, p. 10). The cognitive behaviour of matching is also evident during everyday tasks I encourage children to participate in. For example, after an elaborate game of driving cars through a block city, everything is packed away into its respective place, cars in one box and blocks in…

truly caring for the one in need. Obtaining a trans-personal relationship allows the nurse to feel what the patient is going through creating a sympathetic environment. Transpersonal nurses tend to have the ability to “center consciousness and intentionality on caring, healing, and wholeness, rather than on disease, illness, and pathology” (Watson, 2017, p. 7). Once a relationship is developed between the nurse and the patient, the nurse achieves a stronger sense to bring their patient to a…

As a young child, we all have perceptions of what violence may be, whether our first association was through a movie, a book we read, or we witness it first hand. But even as a child we may not completely grasp the idea of what it is, or what is means. As a child it may begin with something we see that scares us, perhaps we caught a glimpse of the movie “Chucky” our parents were watching one night and that was our first experience with it. Or perhaps we saw others hurting someone and the unknown…

weaknesses.” I believe this is a very important aspect of genograms. For example, I noticed some cycles being broken by my siblings and myself. None of us are alcoholics or been through a divorce. I believe it is the result of God’s grace but also an intentionality to not repeat the habits of the past. I believe that any counselor using a genogram needs to point out family strengths so that the patient is filled with…

being curriculum implementers as commonly conceived, teachers are curriculum makers. From this perspective, “teachers and students live out a curriculum in which an account of teachers’ and students’ lives over time is the curriculum, although intentionality, objectives, and curriculum materials do play a part of it” (p. 365). I found this information pivotal to Criag’s research because it leads to her investigation of Bernadette Lohle’s curriculum…

Chapter 4 Review Rachel Pillion 1. What three questions are important to consider when examining a language development theory? Write out each question AND provide a description of the major points of all three. The first question is “What do infants bring to the task of language learning?”. This question looks at the longstanding question of nature versus nurture or otherwise known as nativist versus empiricist debate. Some theorists believe that babies are born with the capacity to acquire…

Even though the inclusion of intersectionality within Disability Studies allowed for an expansion on the focus on a variety of different issues affecting individuals with disabilities, I wish to focus my paper within the context of K-12 education and the marginalization of disabled students of color. As was explained in the article, “Disability Critical Race Studies (DisCrit): Theorizing at the Intersections of Race and Dis/ability,” written by Subini Ancy Annamma, David J. Connor, and Beth A.…

those times I realized that I am built for this. It was during the hard times that I thought about all of my failures in life. All the times I missed notes, missed baskets, or didn’t hit the ball over the net. More importantly I thought about my intentionality and purpose during those moments I realized that all of the little lessons I learned while participating in all of these activities would add up and lead to greater opportunities. Opportunities to improve, to learn, to grow, but more…

Andrew Bland wrote a journal article entitled Corrective Experiences in Corrections Counseling in the Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Criminology. This journal article discusses the early correctional counselor’s responsibilities and relationships between counselors and inmates. It also discusses more recent practices and what can be improved in the future to help keep people out of jail and prison. Bland feels as though if there was a way to continue the counseling services after the…

What are complexes? Give an example. The complex is a central pattern of memories, emotions, wishes and perceptions located in the personal unconscious. It appears inform of organized power, theme or status. It is fundamentally a psychoanalytic term found extensively in the works of Carl Jung. According to Jung, the personal unconscious was characterized by complexes. In Jung 's system, Complexes are emotion-laden themes from an individual’s life. For example, if a person had a leg amputation…
