I’ve always loved being in the water and since I had no fear of water, my parents wisely put me in swim lessons at a very early age. Swimming for me is as natural as walking; but for me floating in the water, free from life’s concerns is much more relaxing. Bloom’s Taxonomy of six levels of learning: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation can be related to my swimming learning process.
Knowledge – The first level of learning is knowledge which is where you remember the concepts that you were taught. For me, I would say that this level was when I started to take swim lessons, which got me used to being in the water and staying on top of it. I had to listen to my instructor’s list of instructions, recall them

At this level I used the knowledge I had learned in the first level and listened and watched as my instructor illustrated how to coordinate and put it all together. Listening to my instructor I actual understood the importance of putting her instructions into practice and the beneficial results that would follow if I did so. I comprehended and recognized to move through the water and get to where I wanted to be, I had to breathe properly, and use my arms and legs in a coordinated manner. I understood that if I used the arm movement while kicking and breathing at the correct time, I could swim from one side of the pool to the other. I took this idea and practiced it knowing that soon the distance I could swim and my speed would improve. It soon became natural to do the three together in rhythm, I was …show more content…
In order to do a behavioral task we need knowledge, and understand what procedure will work the best to change the behavior (Seneca College, 2016). This is where the learner will use information that they have learned and figure out the best way to implement that information to best improve the situation that they are now in. This would be the level where I was ready to apply my comprehension and skills at a competitive level such as a swim meet. Up until then I had only swam for recreational purposes. Now I had to learn to put the knowledge I had learned together with practice and instruction from my coaches, and perfect it, so that I would be able to swim as quickly as possibly in the competitions. I would practice my strokes, make sure my legs were straight, my turns quicker and my dives concise. By using all my previous knowledge of the sport I had learned, and choosing appropriate procedures, and applying them in a way that I felt appropriate, I increased my speed and my chances of placing in the
Erik Erikson was heavily influenced by Freud but while Freud was an ID psychologist, Erikson was an ego psychologist. Erikson stressed that the development of the ego depended heavily on personal and social aspects. “According to Erikson, the ego develops as it successfully resolves crises that are distinctly social in nature. These involve establishing a sense of trust in others, developing a sense of identity in society, and helping the next generation prepare for the future” (McLeod, S. 1970). His theory focused on personality development through eight distinct stages. He believed that personality progressed in a stacking or pre-determined manner, this is referred to as the epigenetic principle. One must
This tool states that learning is made up of four basic phases, which includes diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating, that gives one a better understanding of how they learn. The booklet claims that learning can be cyclical and four basic phases. These learning phases are described as a concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. The assessment asserts that knowing about your learning style can help you better understand how to maximize your learning, solve problems, work in teams, manage conflict, making career choices and how to improve
Blackfish, a documentary film directed by producer Gabriela Cowperwaite, who is no rookie when it comes to filming, exposes the truth about killer whales and the conditions they live in while in captivity. She uses her years of film experience to create a documentary told though the story of Tilikum, a killer whale who has been involved in the deaths of three people. She digs deep and investigates the inhumane and unsuitable lives of not only the whales themselves, but also the danger in which trainers face while interacting with unpredictable whales that are held in unnatural environments. Blackfish sets straight the myths that killer whales are safer and happier in captivity while exposing the cover-ups and secrets Sea World has been hiding behind for decades. The film targets a wide variety of people, including Sea World as well as the families who attend these theme parks, attempting to convince viewers that parks such as Sealand and Sea World are not as fun and entertaining as they advertise.
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
The first takeaway is not specifically about Mike Pond and his experience but about myself. My attitude and preconceived ideas about the detox and rehab experience drastically changed. Thanks to Mike Pond’s willingness to share all the details of his period of suffering, turmoil and battles of addiction, my attitude shifted. Consequently, I found that at the end of the book my understanding pertaining to what an addict goes through in their efforts to quit was also changed. I feel the book has increased my capacity to be more empathic, nonjudgmental and sensitive to the hardships of the alcoholic and/or addict. I do not and will not have all the answers. However, I may be able to better build the client/counselor relationship of trust and

I found Kolb's (1984) model of experiential learning a useful way to summarize the process if individual learning. The cycle begins when we each experience the world through our senses. Kolb calls this step ‘concreate experience', to indicate that he does not mean the various experiences we have through books or plays, but real-world experiences. Examples of concrete experience could be as varied as sitting through a boring meeting or suffering the distress of losing a job. Kolb suggest that to learn from our experiences we must engage in a second step of consistency reflecting on what has occurred. This step he calls ‘reflective observation'. We are able to reflect on much less than what occurred in the actual experience. Reflection is selective and influenced by our expectations. The third step in the learning cycle is making sense of what we have experience. In other words, ‘abstract conceptualization'. The final step in Kolb's model is ‘active experimentation'. At this step, we test out the meaning that we have constructed by taking action in the world – which then leads to new experiences. Kolb has shown that over time we tend to get more proficient at some steps of the process that at others, thus we develop a learning style preference. Kolb has noted all the steps are necessary, the smallest alteration to any of these steps can make the learning process less
In general, one of the most common ways of learning is generic learning and this is applicable for all type of learners and in this learning takes place in a repetitive cycle, an ongoing series of process. It is very clear that learning needs to meet people’s basic needs to understand, appreciate and to evaluate the prominence of the learning process. People learn best when their physical and psychological environment is comfortable. According to Maslow

Swimming has taken on many forms since that time period some reasons include recreationally, utilitarian, combat, scuba diving, swimming races, marathon swimming, and water polo and diving. Recreational swimming has been around since the Greeks and Romans. Young children often learn to swim in a recreational setting with instructors. The water is an unsafe place for some. Swimming in open water occasionally ends in drowning. Since the nineteenth century, swimmers have turned to a supervised area for a safer environment. When learning to swim in North America, younger kids are usually taught “freestyle” or the crawl, while breaststroke is taught in Europe and Asia (MLA 7th Edition).
I commenced my artwork through exploration of various abstract and fluid artworks and their artists, exploring diverse mediums and marbling techniques, to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing composition. I specifically took an interest in fluid artwork as it is an unconventional form of modern abstract art, where the artwork achieves motion and direction through fluidity. Upon my synthesis of concepts, I explored ideas such as the fluidity of thoughts as reminiscent in fluid artworks such as the ocean, where this evolved as I delved deeper into exploring fluid artists, coming across artists such as Courtney Mattison and Jess Kirkman, which were extensively influential in my resolved artwork. This then led to my exploration of environmental
Motivate the motivation, simple words that can mean some much to an athlete, but what is motivation really? In the games and sports, psychological and physiological factors play an important role in determining the performance level (Grange & Kerr, 2010; Schilling & Hyashi, 2001). Motivation also plays an important role in determining the performance level an athlete, but plays a role in the psychological and physiological factors as well. Motivation is more than a behavior or idea, it is an impact on how we interact with others, how we process defeat, feel, and how we play. Motivation will not only help an athlete get the starting position or gain an award but more importantly, help an athlete reach their potential. Motivation like most things
In this “Digital Age” that we currently live in, it becomes very easy for an individual to become infatuated with the amount of social media outlets available on the internet. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat all revolve around the idea of showcasing one’s personal life for the sake of receiving positive feedback or attention by peers and strangers from the outside world. An episode of the Netflix sci-fi anthology series, “Black Mirror,” decides to tackle this topic in a surreal yet imaginative way. The episode in particular, “Nosedive,” investigates a hypothetical future or alternate universe where social media profiles and star ratings have become the norm. The plot revolves around a young lady named Lacie, who
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
