Many newspapers write about how immigrants learn new language, and what challenges they face. Everyone is different which means that everyone has a different learning style. Some people learn best by reading/writing. Also, some people are hands on learning which means practicing the language. Two years ago when I first came to the USA, I learned English by having conversations with my coworkers, and my friends, through different internet sites, and going to Northern Virginia community college,…

individual lesson plan teach 3 as the basis of my microteaching experience. I believe that this artefact will show my achievement in the learning outcome for setting clear, challenging and achievable expectations for pupils. Throughout this final write up I will be providing a detail description of the coloration between my individual lesson plan teach 3 and the above learning outcome. I also intend discuss my understanding of the relationship between my artefact and my knowledge of effective…

The stretch mistakes are the main mistake I use in Biology. The last time I took Biology it was my tenth-grade year in high school; therefore, I do not remember a lot from that class. After the last test I realized I had to change my study habit. I started making Quizlet’s for the vocabulary words, and I rewrite the notes from class so I can understand it more. I decided to challenging myself more, so I can learn more. However, knowing that I am challenging myself I know I will fail, but I know…

started phase one of training I approached the academics in the same manor that I did in college, studying solely for the test. Shortly after starting the second phase of training I realized that this was not the correct way to approach the style of learning that the Air Force requires. It did not lead…

According to our textbook, Invitation to the Life Span, metacognition is a control process that essentially allows an individual to better understand what they know, how they learn, and how they can improve their ability to learn. When an individual considers how they may improve their ability to learn, they develop strategies. One situation was presented in a video on Metacognition, in which students were able to enhance their reading comprehension and memory. Strategies consisted of careful…

One concept that stood out to me in the Technology theme is in the article called Shell Shorts by Amber Bravo it talks about learning the evolution of material and design of chairs. According to Amber Brown, Eames and Saarine made a plywood chair and started experimenting with molding the chair differently with curves and dimensions with the plywood ( Bravo par.2). They would construct and reconstruct the chairs mold with different dimensions, for example, 2D and 3D to see what style is more…

Dr. Dweck’s research that was focused on growth mindset and fixed mindset, had a lot of useful information. One of the take away of her ideas was that people can always expect to do well if they have a growth mindset. People are in those two categories and can always change. Most of the time fixed mindset will need to change to a growth mindset. Dr. Dweck said that people are expecting to do well if they are expecting something back as reward. Keeping the “not yet” term in mind seemed to work…

PLC, a popular learning company, calculated this by testing math, reading, and science in 15 year old students. What’s the difference between American educational systems vs. other countries, and why have our results not changed in years? American schools are quite lenient and do not have rigorous structures like many other countries, but is that enough to truly make a difference? Initially,…

providing a variety of avenues for student exploration of a topic or expression of learning, providing broad access to a wide range of materials and technologies, giving students a choice of tasks and products, including student-designed options and encouraging investigation or application of key concepts and principles in student interest areas. To differentiate in response to student learning profile, a teacher addresses learning styles, student talent, or intelligence profiles. Some ways in…

Growing up watching Curious George, it was no astonishment that I was indeed just as curious as George himself. Since the age of five, I’ve been amazed by chemistry (and I didn’t even know what it was). This included everything from why oil and water never mixed together to where my water disappeared to after being unattended. While the interactions of polar and nonpolar molecules drew my attention, I wanted to learn more about how molecules interact with each other, so I joined the AP Chemistry…
