    Transformative Learning Theory

    My personal philosophy about educational process is to gear a system that facilitates students’ learning. Learning as is understood by an enrichment of their previous knowledge, significantly linked personal experiences that they may keep it permanently and apply in the future. Those approaches are my understanding of the Transformative Learning Theory by Jack Mezirow. This theory is the framework that I have in mind because the subjacent goal of teaching is to make autonomous thinkers ready to interact successfully in a social and working environment.…

    Learning as a Way of Life

    “We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” People go through their whole lives trying to figure out who they are, look for a sense of purpose or belonging, or attempt to discover the right path for them-self. The lucky ones have somehow found what ever it is they were looking for throughout their journey. They try to teach the people who are still looking how to find their way but often fail because it is not up to them where or how someone else should live their life. It is up to the individual himself to find fulfillment.…

    We Learn From Those Who Are Closest To Us

    “You will never truly understand something until it happens to you.” My mother says. Yeah, yeah I get it. Until you put yourself in someone else’s shoes you know what they have gone through. That’s not what I’ve thought of until something really happened to me. See, I’ve never met my father. I’ve always asked her why I don’t ever get to see him and why she doesn’t ever talk about him. When I was a little girl, she told me not to talk to any boys. Why? Because boys are dangerous and all they’ll do is tear your life apart. She still tells me this and I still don’t agree with her. She only says that because I don’t have a father.…

    Cognitive Coaching

    “Creating a profession of teaching in which teachers have the opportunity for continual learning is the likeliest way to inspire greater achievement for children, especially those for whom education is the only pathway to survival and success” (Sumner, 2011, p. 10). Educators today are required to have a different set of skills to effectively prepare students to be global competitors in the workplace. Educators cannot make these alterations in teaching methodology and instructional delivery without support. Coaches support and encourage teachers, improve teacher strategies, promote teacher reflection, and focus on desired outcomes (Sumner, 2011). A key ingredient for improving student achievement is high quality leadership. Although leadership skills may come naturally for some, most educators need some form of practice and coaching to become high quality leaders (Patti & Holzer, 2012).…

    Promote Independent Learning

    Independent learning is part of an ongoing lifelong process in which pupils will develop the attitudes, knowledge and skills that will aid them in making responsible decisions about their own learning. Teaching assistants can promote independent learning by creating opportunities and experiences that encourage interest, self confidence and motivation, which in turn will provide them with a positive self esteem. There are three key aspects that have to be adopted by teaching staffs in order to successfully promote independent learning. One being the learning environment, the school environment should be sensitive, flexible and responsive to the needs of its students, classrooms should be well set out and accessible especially to those with SEN,…

    There is something I have observed as I have grown, and that is, if we value our own lives and generations after us, we must learn from others to better our future. There are many things from which we can learn throughout our lives. In particular, we can learn from the past, present, and our future generations.…

    Lessons from the Classroom

    Even in college, I have observed that I still need to study some of the basics or minor subjects like English, Filipino and Mathematics. I am taking up Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at the College of the Immaculate Conception and I feel awkward because of the CL or Christian Living subjects I still need to take up. I appreciate that I enrolled in a Catholic school, but I didn’t expect it will be taught in college. I thought that CL was not related to my course. Moreover, I’m already a Christian so I see no need for me to take it up anymore. But then, it was my choice to study here and part of it is being required to take CL up as part of the curriculum. I first thought that it will be a boring subject because I didn’t take into account its significance.…

    Focus on the Learner

    Muftah, married with four children, is a pleasant student who is struggling in class. Muftah did not receive any English in secondary school or university. He worked as a Physical Education teacher for two years, and then was employed with the Ministry of Youth and Sports for twenty years. In his years of employment, Muftah never needed to speak or write in English until about two years ago, when he started attending International House. He says that he is now learning English because he has a lot of time on his hands. Muftah prefers to study at home, not with friends. He says that he does not focus on reading or writing; but, he enjoys practicing his speaking skills with his fourteen year old son because that’s where he feels he needs improvement. Muftah sees this as an opportunity to bond with, and encourage, his son because Muftah never got this chance when he was younger. When asked if he is interested in working in a company in the future to maintain his English, he said that he will think about it.…

    The ubiquitous and, subsequently in our paper, stridently discussed Vicarious learning which predominantly occurs by observing others actions and responses, consequently, note out positive and negative consequences of individual actions and eventually results in imitation of these observed actions. Both Operant Conditioning and Vicarious Learning are parts of BMP and can both affect the behavior and consequences of certain individuals, as, for instance, in our chosen infomercial the ‘Midas Touch Jewelers’ afford customers the exchange of the broken and already unneeded valuables for a high and absolutely consolatory prices.…

    Learning from Others

    Most people want their children to have more than they did or at least the same type of upbringing that they believe made them the type of person they are but some parents have begun to question which things should be important. Over scheduling children's lives has become an issue that individuals, families and others have been exploring as many parents find they are so involved in shuttling their children to activities that they have little time to really interact as a family. Over the last year or so, I have watched a friend of my mom's struggling with this issue. She was raised in a very middle class environment, the child of two middle class hardworking parents in Guatemala. She and her siblings were involved in Soccer and Swimming, music lessons, and after school Catholicism classes, while summers were spent in day camp at the grade school, art lessons, little league and pony tail, music camp, church camp, the list seems endless. Despite the schedule, the family still ate dinner together daily. By the time she reached high school, she did not always make the best decisions but she believes that she never really got into trouble because she was involved in so many activities and she also believes that the activities really enriched her life—music camp and sports netted her friendships that she maintains more than twenty five years later. As an adult, she had grown to appreciate her mother's commitment in getting two children to private lessons, soccer and swimming practices, and numerous other activities throughout the years. In addition, several years before she began her family, she watched an HBO program featuring recovering teenage drug addicts and every single young person stressed the importance of keeping children involved in activities.…

    Effective Learning

    McTighe and O’Connor give readers seven strategies for more effective grading and assessment practices. Each one gives a different spin on more traditional ways of assessing such as diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments. The authors give each suggestion in this order: 1) Using authentic summative assessments as part of their curriculum using the standards to meet the requirements. Students are given the opportunity to showcase their learning by creating and developing an action plan (i.e. science project, video). 2) Using evaluative criteria (or rubrics) to increase quality student work. Well-developed rubrics can clearly identify the important elements in an assignment and also guide teachers in the grading process. 3) Involving pre-assessments before teaching in order to “diagnose” misconceptions and deficiencies in student learning. 4) Allowing students choice in the way they are assessed. 5) Providing students quality feedback in a timely manner. 6) Encouraging students to assessment their own work and set goals with their own learning. 7) Allowing new records of achievement to replace old ones.…

    values are caught not taught

    Several years ago, I heard someone say, “Values are caught, not taught.” At first, this sounded counterintuitive and completely wrong. Seriously, I thought, values are so important and significant in the life of any family, any organization, and to any group, how could they be left to be casually, haphazardly caught? Shouldn’t a person or group be intentional about how it teaches deeply-held values? It seemed careless to leave the communicating of values to something as nonchalant, and perhaps accidental, as allowing them to be caught.…
