The concept of learning is more complex than one would think. I would explain learning first by defining what it means. To me learning is the process of receiving and processing new information. Learning takes place almost every aspect of life and not just in school. If I were to explain this to someone that has never taken this course I would explain that in order to learn you have to be receptive to it.
There are many ways I could serve other with my education, by doing my work for this country, by serving the ones that are less fortunate than I, and to teach the next generation of not just students, but also people that motivation and inspiration are the keys to success and that they should never give up. First, I'd try to do my work in this world by what I am taught in my classroom and applying it to the real world. I would use the morals that my teachers use in the classroom in a world that desperately needs my intelligence, and my sense of service. There is no justice in this world and I would use my education to try and apply it to where it needs to be like: in the world, in the courts, in the prisons, in the fields, in the study and in the classroom, at home and abroad. A second way I'd use my education to serve others is by serving the people that are less fortunate than I am.
Education is basically gaining knowledge that is relevant to life. When I say relevant to life I mean to target America’s educational system. In this system, we learn about everything and anything that will never help us throughout our lives as mature adults. I’ve realized that education and knowledge are considered closely intertwined by many. In the educational system in America, it shouldn’t.
Pedagogy is the art of education. Education includes more than an expert’s knowledge. It is no longer an impartation from expert into an empty vessel, the student. Education involves concepts like how students learn, in what order or with what cues they might learn, and how to deliver content for enduring learning. These concepts are the basis that every teacher needs.
They believed they had a responsibility to improve themselves, to be the best they could be, to improve their abilities, and to help thy neighbors. I am quite sure that includes class and homework. These principles not only swayed our educational system, but are often imitated in U.S. foreign policy. I was told that education is simply the soul of a society
Mandatory classes are used to set a basic system and to set standard classes for everyone, since everyone must learn the same things such as math, reading, and science. Indeed all these are important subjects that should be known, and skills that will be used throughout one’s life. But most people are not going to be using Pre-calculus, English Literature 4, Physics, or European History. It is a complete waste of time to have students struggle through a class that has nothing to do with their desired career. Yes classes should be mandatory, but to a certain extent; it should only be that a student has to take the basic core classes and then after decide what they want to study.
I know to live in this world, I have to be more independent and more mature to step on my own. To make it, I must know who and how I am. It is the only way to be successful in the future. This class helped me know about my trails and find the paths to orient my future. I noticed there are many differences between of us in class.
The Honors Program describes four virtues: commitment, excellence, challenge, and enrichment. Nothing worth having comes easy. I strongly relate this statement to an accomplished education. Naturally, I have superior qualities of determination, logic, responsibility, willpower, achievement- oriented and creativity. Certainly, working two jobs makes focusing on school more difficult, which is why I plan to resign my position at the Children’s Museum.
I know we can be overwhelmed by numbers but there should be away to reach students on the levels they are and teach them to the levels were we want them to be. Until each student has been assessed and helped, I do not think we are attacking the problems in the urban environment. This will take many hands and resources but until we support the whole student the outcomes will remain. A child is not measured in my
Nathan Wheatley Eng 1010 11/10/11 Raised to be Lowered: The American Education System What does it mean to be educated? What does it mean to learn? Why do we, as humans, continue to pursue education? These are the questions I’ve come to contemplate as I reminisced about the way I was raised and prepared for the future here in America. I realized that my education; given that I was raised in a peaceful society, without threat of war, or starvation, or disease, should have served me much better.
