Knowledge management

1. Conversion of facts to stories – First while the facts are interesting to me, the class finds the stories to be much more interesting. By developing the story around the biblical passages, the students will become more in tune to learn and retain the information. This will require understanding the passage in context. By focusing on the historical and cultural aspects of the context, I will be able to rely on areas that I am stronger. However, instead of just repeating the facts, I will…

[Douglass] was relieved” (Douglass 165). The prisoner in the allegory was brought into the light. He was able to finally see the truth. Douglass was, in this way, also liberated. However, in his liberation he was thrust forward into knowledge and from this knowledge came the pain of understanding. He learned the true plight of slavery and was questioning why he ever wanted to learn to begin with. His pain was immeasurable. The prisoner in the allegory was blinded by the light. He felt an…

Discussion Forum Reflection: Over the course of the semester, we covered several topics that focused on different areas and aspects of family. Each topic required us to complete a discussion post where we would use the information we have learned in class and critically analyze and apply it to real-world situations. The discussion forums also allowed us to learn about other student’s perspectives and allow us to see the diversity of experiences with families. Throughout the six topics, I…

The Allegory of the Cave is a hypothesis put into perspective by Plato, regarding human awareness. In the short story a group of prisoners have been confined in a cavern ever since birth with no knowledge of the outside world. They are chained facing a wall unable to turn their heads. While a fire behind them gives off a faint light. Sometimes people pass by carrying figures of animals and other objects that cast shadows on the wall.

Word extracurricular comes from the two words; the prefix extra, a Latin word which means “on the outside” and curricular or curriculum meaning “refers to all of the work you do regularly inside the classroom”.

In a library, there are countless books. All with countless stories. Both good and bad help more and more people become interested in reading and learning about different things. So Far From the Bamboo Grove by Yoko Kawashima Watkins teaches the story of WWII from a side that you rarely hear about. And while So Far From the Bamboo Grove by Mrs. Watkins a good book, it is incredibly detailed in the pain she went through, and shouldn’t be read in any middle or elementary school. So Far From the…

The movie I chose for this paper was, The Matrix. While watching this movie not only did the special effects and fight scenes interest me and make me think it was a good movie, but, additionally I noticed a lot of philosophical parallels. It's easy to see that The Matrix is based off of Plato's allegory, the cave. The cave is about a prison that people are trapped in and can't get out, they are seeing these images and shadows in front of them, but they are not aware that the real images are…

The subject matter is sequenced logically and centered on the subject versus personal learner needs, and the motivation to learn the subject matter is mostly external, such as from parents, teachers, or…

Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory and Personalities In order to better understand someone’s personality, we must first take a look at their behaviors, how they react and what is driving those behaviors. According to John B. Watson, the “goal of psychology is the prediction and control of behavior and that goal could best be reached by limiting psychology to an objective study of habits formed through stimulus-response connections” (Feist, G., Feist, J., Roberts, p. 452) (2013). Behavior can be…
