Unit 141 Professional practice in children’s care, learning and development. Outcome 4. Be able to engage others in reflective practice. 4.1 Analyse the use of models of reflective practice in own setting. Reflective practice is important to the development of lecturers as professionals as it enables us to learn from our experiences of teaching and make easier student learning.
It is important that the teacher appreciate any input from their students, whether the answer is correct or not. This openness will instil confidence and motivation from within the group and help their learning experience. To create a positive learning environment, with a clear structure, a teacher needs to have the ability to plan their lectures or sessions effectively. With clear goals and aims which match up with the curriculum. These lessons need to be creative, incorporate activities and techniques that will engage the learner.
For example, people may find it meaningful to view themselves according to their sex, race, culture, weight, religion and so on. Prejudice can be learned through direct instruction, modeling, and other social influences on learning as seen by the social cognitive theory. The best way to overcome prejudice is to learn about people who are different than you in multiple ways. Additionally, the best way to learn about people is to have direct contact with them and get to know them on a personal level. Intergroup contact is where people from different lifestyles live, work, and study together.
M3 Report Objective of Report In this report I will be investigating the variety of learning styles that exist and I will be finding out what learning style I am best suited to and why, furthermore I will see if I agree with the answer the questionnaire gives me and see if I can relate to the results. Once I find out my results to the different learning style questionnaires I part take in I will update my PDP (Personal Development Phase). Learning Styles The reason why we are studying different learning styles is because of two reasons the first being about academia and school life as we will be able to maximise are learning potential because we will know the best way in which we learn, we will also be able to maximise are A Level grades because we will again know the best way in which to study and this will furthermore increase our A Level grades because we will be working in the best way possible for ourselves. Another reason why we are study learning styles is because we will understand how to study better and how to overcome classroom limitations thus in turn reducing everyone’s stress levels as people will stress less if they know and understand the best way to study. The second reasons to why we are studying different learning styles is because of personal reasons such as to improve your self-confidence and self-esteem, to learn how best to use your brain which can never be a bad thing, gain insight into your strengths and weaknesses, learn how to enjoy learning more, develop your motivation for learning and maximising your natural abilities and skills.
PTLLS: Roles, responsibilities and relationships in lifelong learning 1.1 Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities 1.2 Analyse own responsibilities for promoting equality and diversity 1.3 Evaluate own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning 1.4 Review own role and responsibilities in identifying and meeting the needs of learners PTLLS: 1.1 Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities PTLLS: 1.2 Analyse own responsibilities for promoting equality and diversity Summarise, in 1.1, suggests that a paragraph will be sufficient for describing each key aspect of legislation, regulations and codes of practice. Analyse, in 1.2, means that you should also ‘extract’ aspects of legislation, regulations and codes of practice that focus on equality and diversity issues. PTLLS: 1.3 Evaluate own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning Evaluate in this criterion means that you should be able to explain the ‘value’, or contribution, to society of being a teacher in the lifelong learning sector. PTLLS: 1.4 Review own role and responsibilities in identifying and meeting the needs of learners Before reviewing your role and responsibilities, for 1.4, you will need to be clear about what is meant by ‘the needs of learners’. Once you are clear about
Unit one in this class first involved the class picking values we thought were important to make a caring learning environment. As we shared our reasons for picking the values on a discussion board, the class was involved in cooperative learning. In other words, we helped others evaluate their own values by providing input and suggestions. In this way, I believe this section in particular of Unit one and the discussion boards in general addressed our continuing professional development: TPE 13. Another aspect of Unit one was identifying and categorizing our intelligences.
The key to overcoming things like discrimination and prejudice is education. The more we learn about other races and cultures the better we will be able to understand and relate them to our own culture. With this knowledge we will be able to see past the stereotypes and judge each person on their own merit. It is up to us to take actions that will increase this knowledge. We need two types of people in order to make this a reality.
Diversity is valued because it is an important part of the world and shows the different side of peoples. Which can lead to growth within an individual and in society. It is important to appreciate who we are and value others differance. 2. What is ethnocentrism?
Through the effort of education, I hope to develop an effective model of helping. The personal model of helping that I have developed during this course is an eclectic one. I feel that in this field you have to be versatile and have a “by any means necessary” attitude. I have formed my viewpoint from the many theories, techniques and methods in which have been presented during this course. So I would incorporate several parts of the many theories and models which have been introduced to me.
· Understand the importance of appropriate communication[->0]. Cultural Awareness An essential skill in the provision of culturally appropriate services, cultural awareness entails an understanding of how a person's culture may inform their values, behaviour, beliefs and basic assumptions. Cultural awareness recognises that we are all shaped by our cultural background, which influences how we interpret the world around us, perceive ourselves and relate to other people. You don't need to be an expert in every culture or have all the answers to be culturally aware; rather, cultural awareness helps you to explore cultural issues with your care recipients more sensitively. Information about specific cultural practices will help to increase your cultural knowledge by providing an overview of cultural characteristics and issues.
