Learning curve

Practicum Journal Entry #1 At the conclusion of this class, I will be transitioning from an experienced adjunct educator in the clinical environment to a novice Master’s degree nurse educator. This new position will require the desire to learn new skills, values, and being able to socialize into the new work setting. Working in both the Associates and Baccalaureate programs has separate challenges, organizational environments, and student populations (Paul, 2015). The purpose of this first…

my ability to comprehend what is being stated within the article, or perhaps I am a little behind the learning curve of psychology. This is my first psychology class in over a decade so I believe I may be experiencing growing pains. This first thing I learned about reviewing published scholarly articles is that the abstract is my best friend. This may seem obvious to some people but I am learning to learn all over again since I have been out of school for a while. I make sure that I…

are outside of the classroom. It is very different compared to teacher-student relationship in Indonesia. Students will act casually when their teachers are their neighbors. Stage in learning responsibilities will be divided into two, they are independent and dependent learning. Americans used independent learning in which they believe that the responsibility in how much knowledge students have is in the hands of students themselves. It is very frustrating for students who strive to be the best…

one year. According to the curve, human’s forgetting rate was the highest on the first day (the reciting day). It is also obvious through the graph that people forget 40 percent of what they learn after the first 20 minutes, and their memory remains only 30 percent of the information after six days. It can be a vivid explanation of Audrey’s case—without reviewing, forgetting all the vocabularies she recited after two weeks is prosaic. The slope of the forgetting curve becomes less steep after a…

One of the first rules that is taught when learning Calculus is L’Hospital’s rule. The rule provides an easy technique to solve for a limit that has the indeterminate form 0/0. To get past this roadblock, L’Hospital’s rule allows for the individual differentiation of the numerator and denominator, and taking the limit of the result. If after the first application of the rule the limit once again produces the indeterminate form, it is possible to apply L’Hospital’s rule again. There is mystery…

When we conceptualize about learning, in a broad sense, the focus tends to be placed on understanding and retention in a normal calm setting. But what happens when stress, fear or pressure is added? How is the learning process affected? That very question sparked my curiosity in understanding how we biologically react and perform under stress. Michael Mendl (1999) outlines that when we are faced with threatening or challenging stimuli our cognitive functioning is directly affected. Discussion in…

1. What is verbal learning and what was Ebbinghaus trying to show with his experiments? Verbal learning is the process of learning and memorizing lists of words as well as the processes of retention and acquisition of the overall learning process. However, verbal learning also applies to the learning of faces, pictures, sounds, sequencing, odors, location, and other variables outside of simply a list of words. It is an active process of learning where the subject engages with the list they…

will be the most difficult when working in EHR’s? I think the most difficult thig about working with an EHR is learning the software and remembering to be extremely careful with the data entry. Another issue would be discovering that data already entered into the EHR has missing or incorrect information in the record. How can you resolve difficulties? How I would overcome the learning curve on the software is to LEARN the software. I would watch instructional videos, read the manual, and…

3. Historical Influences There were many important people that influenced Elizabeth Loftus in establishing her career. Richard Atkinson helped her in completing her master’s thesis on learning spelling via computer-assisted mathematics instruction. Her doctoral thesis on the other hand was supervised by Patrick Suppes. These men were both very inspirational to her. While she was in graduate school, two faculty members were also outstanding mentors to her; these men being Gordon Bower, and…

observing those actions, I can better understand their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. This knowledge will help me create lesson plans that are appropriate for the different levels of ability, experience, and needs present in the classroom. Learning styles, language proficiency, and other factors can vary greatly in the classroom. Lesson plans that guide the students to meet lesson objectives and Common Core State Standards (CCSSI) will result in data that can be interpreted to analysis…
