My final learning objective was that all students would engage in on-topic discussion. From my observations, I know that this occurred, especially with my opening question. Also, I found it interesting to note that my group that was so far behind everyone else actually had the best summary of the article. I believe that this is due to their extensive discussion while reading the article. All this discussion of discussion reminds me of what we have discussed in class. You have mentioned over and…

A)Justify which phase(s) of learning the students in your team were in. The year 5 that I worked with were just at the beginning phase of associative learning when they started the day playing football. Associative learners understand the basic skills of the game and the rules they can do the skill but need feedback and can self correct a little bit, they can stay in this stage for a long time and it is necessary to get lots of practice to move on. Throughout the morning they developed their…

weaknesses, but all in all I’ve enjoyed every bit of this class. Writing the first essay of the semester I found myself unsure and uncomfortable with writing college level essays, but now after submitting my fourth essay I am much more confident. From learning proper MLA in-text citations, to focusing my essays to make a clear point, to bettering my ability to provide proper support for my argument; my knowledge has expanded more than I could have imagined. In the beginning, if I would have…

In general, I enjoy going to service learning. Being involved in service learning has made me feel like I held more capital within the confines of my social space; a rather empowering feeling. While I’m there, my state of mind is not limited to this feeling of self-worth as I find myself more focused on engaging with the kids and being what I deem a good role model. It is during these reflections that I find myself believing I am actually a better person for attending. I attribute this to my…

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulder of giants”, the quote by Isaac Newton resonates my journey to realising the understated power of collaborative learning. Two experiences that were a highlight of my undergraduate degree were my involvement with Mosaic Fusion Forums, an outreach program that celebrates diversity, and Business-One UNSW, a student-run consulting and professional services group. Both these experiences allowed me to see how people with a diverse range of…

Service learning is important for many reasons. It teaches you to put others first. When doing service learning you are often put in someone else’s shoes. Whether you are in the shoes of a gardener, a teacher or a clerk, you learn to appreciate the hard work they do on a daily basis. I'm fortunate enough to have everything I need at my fingertips, but that’s not the case for everyone. While helping others, you realize what everyday things you take for granted. This quarter I helped my french…

Some participants in this study also indicated some other challenges they had that affected their ESL learning. Helen said that being homesick had influenced her studies at the beginning of the program. “We now only have classes for 4 hours each day, so we have much spare time, and it is natural to be homesick when we have nothing to do.” Although she lived with a Canadian lady at a homestay, they did not have much to talk about. Besides, unlike most Chinese students, the place where she lived…

I found it very fascinating that the instructors promote their time to set up a weekly meeting with their students, going through their reflections of their weekly teaching in these community avenues. The way I was thinking of Service Learning method is having my students volunteer in community teaching about nutrition and applying what they learned in my course and writing a report about it, In fact, after reading this article I realized that the most important objective of requiring students…
