...One student learns one fourth from the teacher One fourth from own intelligence One fourth from classmates and One fourth only with time!” This revered Sanskrit saying encompasses the various facets of learning. The richness of any learning experience is a blend of all these aspects in the right proportion. Their roles have an added dimension with the advances in technology. Today , children are exposed to the seductive pull of digital devices like mobiles which beep us out of sleep and checking e mail which has become a compulsion. The internet is undoubtedly expanded our connectivity and access to information. Ironically, as technology brings us closer, we have distanced ourselves from relationships, the sheer joy of reading a good book, the depth of a good friendship and our indulgence with introspection or self reflection. Emotional bonding with parents has also been eroded due to lifestyle indulgences and societal pressures. The role of a teacher is to help the children to revisit our rich tradition, analyze this democratic access to information and introduce them to the nuances of self evaluation, practical wisdom and empathy. Nurturing healthy relationships can be a window to view the garden of life. Today, in schools, we provide robust platform wherein every child is introduced to larger than life concepts which is a conscious endeavor to shape him into a fine personality. We need to just hold their hands even when they walk in...

Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations www.eiconsortium.org Self Directed Learning 2 The new economy is not about technology, it is about a change in the basic assumptions about the nature of work. Contributing to this are several demographic factors. Worldwide, the workforce is aging. By 2050, the average age of the US population will increase to 40 (from 36 in 1995). In the US in 1999, 19% of the workforce was 70 or older. By that same year, the number of retirees in Europe will be greater than the number of people in the workforce (The Economist, 2000). The workforce and population is becoming increasingly ethnically and racially diverse. By 2050, 24% of the workforce (about 97 million people) in the US will be Hispanic. Women are filling more positions of power...

...How Environment Plays a Role in Learning Eric Williams College 100 American Military University Catherine Ellenwood Abstract This paper examines the quantitative effects that the learning environment has on the success and or failure of today’s student. The two basic factors that make up and comprise the learning environment are addressed, with elaboration given on how they negatively or constructively assist the modern student in his or her academic progression. A number of important facets key to a successful learning environment are addressed that are critical in ensuring that the learner is comfortable and undergos the most optimum learning experience available. Explanation is also given on how to improve the learning environment to support the student’s constant changing needs. How Environment Plays a Role in Learning In order for the student to develop his or her cognitive skills and successfully engage in the learning process, they must be immersed in a learning environment designed and well suited to properly stimulate them in their academic development. The effect that the learning environment has on the student, whether it’s the physical effect or the psychosocial effect, can’t be overstated asserts Dr. B.J. Fraser (as cited in Amirul, Ahmad, Yahya, Abdullah, Adnan and Noh, 2013, para. 2 ).

...effective collaboration are good leadership, resources, teamwork, and understanding each person’s role relative to the final goal. To communicate and collaborate effectively team members must develop strategies that fully take advantage of the learning styles and compliment the personality types of the members. A learning style is the way the mind takes in and processes information. This process differs for everybody. Howard Gardner has broken learning styles into eight multiple intelligences based on individuals strengths and weaknesses. It is important to know and understand a person’s learning style before employing strategies to make use of it. A person with intrapersonal learning style is self-driven, assertive, and understands himself in relation to others. They reason on higher levels and are considerate of how other people feel. Giving them the latitude to take charge brings out the best in them. Verbal linguistic is crucial to the success of the group. People with this learning intelligence are basically smart. They are good teachers because they remember terms, understand syntax, and word meanings. They are motivators who use humor to simplify complex...

...tests are also being used more and more frequently. Psychological Tests A psychological test is a series of standardized problems or questions that assess a certain individual characteristic. Tests are commonly used to assess many KSAOs, including knowledge, skill, ability, attitudes, interests, and personality (Spector, 2008). There are three types of psychological tests used in the workplace to help differentiate between those used for pre-employment or retention. Essentially pre-employment is called the "recruiting radar." These tests are ability tests, personality tests, and emotional intelligence tests (Spector, 2008). Ability tests Ability tests are the ability or aptitude with the capacity to do or learn to do a particular task (Spector, 2008). Ability tests have been split into many subcategories such as cognitive ability tests, which is an IQ or also known as an intelligence test, or a test of general cognitive ability. Cognitive tests are also done on an individual that focus on the mathematical or verbal...

...Anthony Giroux Although the future seems hopeless after reading this book, Fear Nothing actually supports the idea of a positive future for mankind. The animals in the story are all very intelligent. Communication with animals may be easier. The things scientists are able to do and come up with are increasing. The intelligence the animals show in this book provides a positive outlook. The monkeys, although they cause a lot of trouble and chaos, are very intelligent. They take the cameras from Chris, and they nearly kill everyone. If the intelligence could be somehow turned into good, then the future with monkeys would be very bright. Orson, Chris’s dog, also shows a lot of intelligence. He knows and remembers where the jar in the back yard is, and he puts any fears aside to save Chris from the fire. The future for dogs looks very bright as well. This story shows that communication with animals may be easier. Roosevelt Frost can communicate in a way with animals, and understand them better than the average person. He has the ability to read and interpret their thoughts in a new way. Chris, although he doesn’t have that power, can understand Orson very well. The understanding of animals is increasing, and this book provides a bright outlook for humanity. The things the scientists were able to do in this book were fascinating. They created their own animals, and they created a virus. The future of science is looking good. The story actually...

...Learning Styles When it comes to learning styles everyone is quite different. Everyone has different capabilities, forms, and styles of learning. There have been many studies concluded to try to better understand what style helps a person better learn and retain information. Some of those styles of learning are discussed in the book written by Gardner, Jewler and Barefoot (2009). A few of the styles that are mentioned are Kolb Inventory, Myer-Briggs Indicator and the Multiple Intelligence Inventory. According to the Kolb Inventory style of learning there are four qualities a person must obtain to be a successful learner. The four stages are Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation. Once the four stages are developed a person falls into one of four groups of learning which are Divergers, Assimilators, Convergers, and Accommodators. Out of the four groups I would better identify myself under the Accommodator learning style. Accommodator is defined as a person who better learns by hands-on techniques. Sometimes I find that even after I finish reading the material on how to do something I do not completely grasp the concept of it until I physically go out and do it. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator describes a persons’ learning abilities by their personality type. Under the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator I am described as a ISFJ learning type, which stands for Introverts Sensing Feeling and Judging. Many times before...

...What major obstacles (such as personal, professional, academic) will you need to overcome in order to be successful in school? What are some ways you might work around these challenges? In order to be successful in my classes I will need to focus on all three areas listed in the above question. It has been about 7 years since I was enrolled in a university system. So as a personal obstacle I will face I will have to learn to dedicate the amount of time necessary at the end of an already long work day to actively participate in my courses. As an active duty military member I do not have the typical work day which ends the same time everyday. I deploy roughly 180 days a year and when operational I am putting in 10-14 hours in uniform each day. Balancing my professional career with my goal of completing my degree will be faced with many conflicts in my work schedule and location of my mission in regard in to internet access. From an academic standpoint, online learning is completely new to me. I am use to being instructed in a classroom environment rather then through emails and lesson plans. In order to mitigate these obstacles I will need to balance my time wisely and efficiently, plan ahead to prepare myself for conflicts in my schedule and arrange logistically internet access daily no matter where I am deployed stateside, and learn to take more innitiative if my learning, through a more disciplined use of course materials at hand and through thoroughly participating...

...What are graphic organizers and why are they important? Graphic organizers are visual representations of knowledge, concepts, and ideas to help students understand meaning and relationships between facts and terms within a learning task (Strangman, 2002). It is important that content being taught in the classroom is structured in a way that helps the students organize key concepts and related details. Graphic organizers are used to help students organize key concepts and related details. They help students map out ideas visually and are visual aids for learning and instruction (Instructional Strategies Online, 2013). Graphic organizers help students be actively involved in their learning process and also helps them discover new information and make connections that they did not think of or know before. A K-W-L chart is an example of a graphic organizer. It is broken up into three columns label K, W, and L. This chart is used to list what the students already know, what they want to know, and what they learned at the end of the unit. This graphic organizer activates the students’ prior knowledge and gets them thinking about the topic and what they want to know. It allows the students to organize the information they are learning and keeps them engaged and interested in the unit. K-W-L charts are a great way for students to organize their thoughts and learning and a way for teachers to direct instruction throughout a unit. The lesson I will use to teach the students how to use...

...Teaching Analysis HOW TO TIE A WINDSOR KNOT Core Concept I chose to write a paper on how to tie a tie (The Windsor Knot). I chose this video because I wanted to compare it with the way I tie a tie. This particular video used the double Windsor knot. When I started watching the video I didn’t realize it was for the double Windsor knot. There are several ways to tie a tie and I find myself looking at other people’s ties to figure out if they did it the same way that I do or what method they use. Some people’s ties look a little crooked or sloppy and I always wonder what approach they took when they tied their tie. I always wonder if they may have left a step out. Some people’s ties are too short so I figure that they don’t know how to adjust the tie. I like my tie to be straight and the right length. I am a tall person so I have to make sure I tie mine a little longer. When I meet someone dressed up and wearing a tie, the tie is one of the first things I notice. So I assume that other people are noticing the same thing and this always makes me cautious of how my tie looks before leaving my house. Organization I feel like this video (How to Tie A Tie For Begginers) was well organized. He demonstrated the tying process very well. He started off with a tie around his neck and explained step by step what to do. Even to the point of what end of the tie should be in the right hand and which end should be in the left hand. If this was my first time at tying a tie, I believe I...
