Traditional knowledge

learn auditory and some learn through kinesthetic style. The best way to learn would be through the combination of these three learning styles. Using these three learning styles, visual, auditory and kinesthetic, I developed literacy. Along with traditional, nontraditional ways of learning also played a big role in my development and acquiring literacy. Family’s Influences on My Literacy Development I was raised in a middle class joint family system. My family have a significant influence on…

adaptability as a measure of vocational success in the intelligence measurements for practical knowledge. Simonton (2000) also shows limitations to the subjective nature of "socio-cultural environments” as part of the link between intelligence and creativity. However, Simonton (2000) defines the relativistic nature of “creativeness” that shows deviations from historically learned behaviors through traditional definitions of intelligence. This type of social/environmental point of view shows the…

Epistemology has been questioned by thinkers, investigated by scientists, studied by theologians, and discussed by prominent philosophers. The concept closely intertwines with human life because it encompasses the attainment of truth or knowledge. What is right or wrong and one’s idea of morals are perceived from different viewpoints - whether through the senses, personal experiences, or otherwise – but are reflected in one’s lifestyle. The epistemological threads that are seen in philosophy,…

difficult. I came to the United States in 2013 from Saudi Arabia to attend school. I, like many other international students have left family, and friends for the experience. I didn’t solely come for school as I have always been critical of the traditional education system-I came for independence. However, many students travel miles away from home strictly for school. What is school anyway? And, what makes it special? Here is what I discovered based on my journey. According to…

Methodology Research Design Objectivism versus Constructivism Objectivism has been the main framework in many fields including education and HRM. Traditional approaches to learning and human relationships are based on behaviouristic and cognitive theories that hold philosophical assumptions of objectivism. The main assumptions of objectivism are the following. First, a real world exists which is made of entities with properties and relations; also, properties predict their categorisation…

Prior to attending this class, I did not think of education as anything more than the process of acquiring general knowledge. I was later surprised to discover that education in general and the process of education is much more complex. Many extraordinary philosophers throughout history have claimed to be the most educated men of their time. But what does it really mean to be educated? Education is not necessarily something that can be measured, so how do we determine whether or not someone is…

for some scholars, relativism has remained controversial and “untenable” (Kalderon, 2009, p. 236). For example, it could be argued that Black Feminist Thought has risked closing off discourse when dealing with false consciousness. Since subjugated knowledges like coloured women’s resistance develops in cultural contexts, dominant groups can attempt to influence an oppressed group’s experiences by gaining control and normalising standards of conduct. For example, Collins (1991) argues that…

as an educator you had to make sure you treated everyone the same. I do have some knowledge of working with students from different cultures since I have been working with students for over 10 years. I do feel I have never been to a training that emphasizes with cultural competency. I feel the school district I work for should have trainings on it and how effective it can be. I do feel I need to gain more knowledge on cultural competency. I have worked with students of all races and different…

so it is important to learn about it. Spanish is the official or co-official language in over 20 countries and millions outside those countries speak it. I spent the week researching information about the Spanish culture, including their food, traditional clothing, music and dances. I looked up articles online about Hispanic culture and I also asked my Spanish-speaking friend, Ana, about her culture. Ana agreed to let me interview her so I asked about the culture and traditions in El Salvador,…

Such people need models, concepts, and facts to understand the ideas, and prefer to synthesise and analyse all the data, before drawing it all into a logical theory. 3. Pragmatist: Pragmatists need to be able to transfer their knowledge into the real world by implementing ideas. They are experimenters, acting out new ideas, trying to see if they work. 4. Reflector: Reflectors learn by observing and pondering about what happened. They prefer not to be involved in the goings on,…
