When I retired three years ago from the United States Air Force as a Production Superintendent with 25 years of service, I was an expert in my field. During technical school I put in the classroom and study time on book materials and lectures to learn as much as I could. During the hands on experience I watched and duplicated what the instructors were teaching and asked questions when I did not understand. When I actually started working on aircraft and moving through the ranks, that’s when the true
experiments. Through priming methods (money and time) and the manipulation of self reflection by using mirrors, the subjects, a large population of university students (different across 4 experiments), had their cheating behaviors measured and the result suggested priming of money can decrease one’s self-reflection, therefore leading to less ethical behavior (versus time); while priming of time is able to increase one’s self-reflection, hence leading to more ethical behaviors. Francesca and Cassie’s (2013)
a considerable body of literature has emerged on professional development, quality improvement of teacher education programs, teacher learning, and teacher change. The research literature contains a mix of large- and small-scale studies, including intensive case studies of classroom teaching, evaluations of specific approaches to improving teaching and learning, and surveys of teachers about their pre-service preparation and in-service professional development experiences. Some influential researches
Reflection Paper Cornelia C. Welch-Dick University of Southern Mississippi Reflection Paper After a summer internship at a news station that was in direct correlation with my declared undergraduate major, I am anxious to begin focusing my work and study toward higher education student affairs. My experience this summer forced me to do some self-evaluation and assessment as far as my strengths, weaknesses, and what kind of environment I envision myself thriving in. My vision for my
There are multiple studies and articles that have supported the fact that there is a clear relationship between self-reflection and morality. Like other studies, Gino and Mogilner have established this link. In their study, the level of moral behaviour was recorded after priming ‘money’ and ‘time’ to trigger self-reflection, or self-interest, within individuals. This was demonstrated in a series of four experiments involving constructing sentences, finding music, questionnaires and counting money/days
Learning theory (TLT) was developed by Jack Mezirow over 35 years. During these 35 years, the theory has evolved thorough critique, and research. Transformative Learning is a theory of adult learning that emphasizes a framework for learning, provides a reflection on assumptions and authentication of meaning. The primary purpose of adult learning is transformative learning leads to growth, empowerment, explores values and knowledge. The theory delivers a pathway for adults to take ownership of social and
Competency in oral communication has always been the skill that both school and university students aim to possess, particularly in present days where jobs in many fields, especially in business, require professional and collaborative communication skills which include presentation skills(Shaws, 2015). Soureshjani & Ghanbari(2012) stated that oral presentation can help students to gain public communication skills, thus, according to King(n.d.), many EFL teachers use oral presentation as a way to
Success is something individuals aim for through all stages of life. Succeeding at university may entail passing courses, achieving learning goals and consequently graduating, while gaining some experience and exposure. At work, success could take a different form of gaining a job, accomplishing goals, and seeking promotions. While the definition of success may differ for university students and employees at an organisation, the basic principles and skills required are very similar. Individuals require
A Study of Epistemology In the sixth century B.C., Homer alludes to a separation of knowledge between the mortals and the gods. He speaks of both gods and human beings as “knowing things”- creatures of knowledge. However, there is a “great difference in the quality and the scope of the knowledge available to the two groups” (Everson, Pg.12). For the mortal human being the contrast between “divine and human knowledge”, paired with possible deception by the gods, has led him to question the
written communication skills I plan to focus on improving structure, I plan to do this by clarifying my thoughts and the purpose, identify key points, decide a logical sequence and compose a strong introduction and ending. Based on my own personal reflection on my oral presentation I have identified the cause to my hit -and-miss style of oral communication. One aspect that affects me when presenting is whether to trust my instinct to talk from the heart or whether to use cue cards as a guide. I have
