developed from Kolb’s work. This is based on four stages of specific styles of learning: Having an experience /activists/ – they are the go-getters rather than intellectuals and they prefer the actual experience itself. Reviewing the experience /reflectors/ – they desire to stand back and watch and review. Concluding from the experience /theorists/ – they like to get the overall picture and to feel intellectually stretched, and they are logical and rational thinkers. Planning next step /pragmatists/
Results The result for the test is ESTJ for personal style inventory test with 29 points in E, 27 points in S, 26 points in T, and lastly, 21 points in J. In terms of learning style questionnaire, the result is very strong which 10 points in the reflector style. Regarding for the team roles, the result is very strong as a supporter. Agreements and Discussions As I stated above, my personal style inventory test resulted in the ESTJ preference. Referred to R. Craig Hogan and David W. Champagne (1980)
There are four types; reflectors, theorists, activists and pragmatists of learning styles based on Peter Honey and Alan Mumford theory (2006). Each individual often complies with a specific style of the four styles for their learning. These styles of learning interpret the way individuals’ processes information and develop their knowledge. Reflectors surpass in their learning from observation and analysing. They excel in learning through also thinking methodically. Student nurses can benefit from
Missing Figures A Brief History of Telescopes Although telescopes has been around for several hundreds of years, there has been great discrepancy as to who invented it first. Here is one authors opinion. Lippershey was a Dutch spectacle marker during the early 17th century (approximately 1600). He was one of the first who created the "looker" (now called telescope) by placing two pieces of lenses together. The discovery that placing lenses together can magnify images were made by children who
This allows the reflector to look at what happened, what they did and their role in the situation. So what? Allows them to analyse the situation, what was important about the experience and what they learned. Now what? Allows them to look at what they will do next and can
the flashlight was taking off the top containing the reflector as shown in figure B. The sides were lined with threaded ridges that screw onto the ridges on the inside of the flashlight. Next, in figure C, I slid out the battery container. It is shaped like a truncated cone so that it could easily slide out in order to replace the batteries without interfering with other parts. In figure D, I removed the screw, which works similarly to the reflector. Figures E and F show the parts I removed by sliding
Learning Styles Questionnaire by Honey and Mumford my scores were Reflector- 9, Theorist- 8, Pragmatist- 8, and Activist- 7. Comparing my scores with the provided descriptions of learning styles, I was not surprised by the results and the explanations. The probability of combinations of learning styles was listed, with Reflector/Theorist occurring the most. However, my results could easily be either Reflector/Theorist or Reflector/Pragmatist or a combination of all four styles. I am unsure if it
That rainbow you see on the ground when oil lies on wet pavement, that captivating swirl of color glimmering on the outside surface of that bubble, or the shimmers of color on the back of your favorite CD; its iridescence and is displayed in quite a few critters in the animal kingdom. Iridescence essentially an objects ability to show different colors when viewed at different angles. When you look at the animal kingdom you see this property in many species of animals, insect exoskeletons along with
In this essay I will be discussing the importance of understanding learning styles for student nurses. I will also be focusing on the learning cycle and learning style using the Honey and Mumford 80 questionnaire. I look into the details of how learning style helps students to understand the importance of recognising one’s learning style preference. I will also provide an understanding of learning and learning theories and discuss my own dominant learning style and how I aim to deal with my weaknesses
being studied. Optical Telescopes The first telescope developed, and the one most widely used, is the optical telescope, which gathers visible light radiation. There are three basic types of optical telescopes: refractors that use lenses, reflectors that use mirrors, and catadioptrics that use a combination of both lenses and mirrors. The refracting telescope has a closed tube. At one end of the tube is the object glass, usually made of two or more lenses, that admits light emanating from

main learning styles in Kolb's theory that correspond to the ones presented by Honey and Mumford in the following manner: Activst = Accomodating Reflector = Diverging Theorist = Assimilating Pragmatist = Converging Most people learn by all four, but tend to have one or two predominant styles. Extroverts tend to be activist/pragmatist and introverts reflector/theorist. But all the other combinations are possible too. To be an effective learner one should be able to learn in styles that are not his/her
Milky Way Galaxy. Isaac Newton created the first 'practical' reflector in 1668, which included a small flat diagonal mirror to reflect the light to an eyepiece mounted on the side of the telescope. With time, telescopes became bigger and more sophisticated, and astronomers discovered more stars and galaxies. They were also able to calculate the distance between stars. Most of the large optical telescopes used for research today are reflectors. The achromatic lens that first appeared in a 1733 telescope
is no person who can’t learn anything, some might learn theories, some might learn through practices and some learn by seeing what the work is. Through the reflective analysis my passion for learning comes in through reflective style of learning. reflector style of learning is way of learning through reflecting others work in to our practice i.e., we carefully look on to what a professional learner does and get an idea of what he
experienced, being naive and learning as a child, forgetting all preconceived ideas. As a student nurse, the humanistic learning theory is relevant because it highlights the essential for education and information to be absorbed on human development and personal growth (Knowles et al., 2014). The wish for student nurses to attain self- actualisation would be a benefit to them to learn in the clinical setting. Although, I believe that some possessions of experiential learning such as being uncritical
History of Solar Energy Even though most people think solar energy is a recent invention, it has been around for centuries, even in ancient times. Efforts to design and construct devices for supplying renewable energy began 100 years before the height of the Industrial Revolution. Engineers and scientists worried about what would happen to the world’s nations after using up the fuel supply. Most of the environmental visionaries realized that the potential rewards of solar power outweighed
Appendix 1: Self reflection and Learning This section of the appendix discuss about the various skills pursued by the author and the personal development that has happened over the duration of the Master in Business Administration course in Dublin Business School and the dissertation period. Furthermore, the author will discuss plans to sustain and extend this learning. A.1.1 Self Appraisal The author is an above average student who completed both her schooling and bachelor’s degree in India. Being
Renaissance men were some of the greatest intellectual people of the whole mankind. To be considered in this category, they had to have great intelligence in not just one subject but various subjects. Renaissance men also had made inventions or discoveries that were used in the future to make further discoveries. Sir Isaac Newton was one of the few that were categorized as a Renaissance man. He was very intelligent in various subjects like mathematics and science. He was the founder of the famous
billion dollars and 300 human fatalities” (p.3). It is hard to ascertain an accurate number of collisions because many incidents go unreported. Research indicates that preventative methods currently being implemented, such as deer whistles and reflectors are ineffective. Nighttime imposes demanding and critical driving conditions that cannot be accommodated sufficiently or satisfactory by drivers. Deer are mainly nocturnal beings but are not restricted to night movement only. Autumn is deer breeding
In the film segment “Earth is born,” shown in class several things were discussed throughout the film. The film initially began with the narrator Neil DeGrasse Tyson, speaking about the Earth in terms of it being a clock. Each time on the clock represented the millions and billions of years that were the Earths initial development. Within the film one of the many factors that were discussed the contributed to Earth’s initial creation and causing it to be the planet we, as a life form, can inhabit
