Curriculum Development Application
Integration of more interaction between students
As an instructor in an equipment maintenance course there are several challenges that I face. One of the challenges is the interaction between the students in my class. There is a tendency in the class for minority students keeping to themselves during class. Female students are almost invisible in class and they rarely speak or interact with others in the class. This lack of interaction between students could hurt their job placement in the future when they are through with their course. There are several things I can do as an instructor to integrate more interaction between my students. Among the things I can integrate in my course work is group projects and assignments. I will ensure that groups of up to four students are set up on all the course projects. There will also be some class assignments which must be worked on in the small groups that have been created. The projects and assignments will then be discussed openly in class and all the group members will be expected to participate. I will ensure that the projects and assignments are very challenging which require multiple inputs from the members of the groups. This will ensure that there is more interaction between the students in groups. After presentations, students can ask for clarifications from those who presented on something they did not quite understand.
I will also encourage peer reviews and editing of individual assignments. This will be through encouraging...
Through the random generated homework, students get a way of working together and helping each other. This will increase the interaction between the students in the class as they will be constantly working together in the peer reviews. I come up with questions to be discussed in class. The discussions questions will be well formulated and hence provide an excellent opportunity for thoughtful responses from the students. There will be encouragement of a free discussion environment in class which will led top more participation from students. Through the discussions there will be more interaction between the students as they will ask and answer questions within the discussions. More interaction between students will lead to the prevention of having a learning environment that is boring, repetitive and isolating.
Recruiting more females into the program
The female student population in my class is just 2%.This is a very small percentage, and as an instructor I should strive to recruit more female students into my program. I can achieve the recruitment through mentorship programs. The value from mentorship is something tat can not be replaced. I will ensure that I get women who have been successful in the field to be part of the mentorship programs. This will ensure that the girls get mentorship from these women which will encourage many of them to get recruited into the program. I will…
They are also learning new ideologies that transform their perspectives and broaden their viewpoints to gain a greater sense of understanding and awareness of the values of their jobs and how they subsequently change them as people -- which is the very essence of transformative learning. The proclivity for those who are in increasingly higher levels of education, particularly those in graduate school as opposed to undergraduate school to demonstrate
Accordingly, the approach taken to academics will center on the refinement of more generally applicable skill sets such as interpersonal communication, team orientation and learning through practical usage of emergent skills. Accordingly, Moore points to instances of interdisciplinary learning as the manifestation of this set of values which is increasingly seen as essential to yielding the best results from one's higher education. Accordingly, Moore indicates that "new models of
Transformative Learning in Adults Adult learners desire more than just knowledge and resist academic teachings strategies such as notes memorization and examinations. They desire something more than just what is offered in the classrooms- the learning goes beyond content knowledge acquisition, or learning equations, learning historical facts and data. It is a desirable process for adults to learn to think for themselves, through true emancipation from sometimes mindless or unquestioning acceptance
He attempts to show that this concept has emerged and is slowly developing in adult education to an extent that it has attracted both researchers and practitioners in the field. Actually, the author's main goal is to provide better understanding of the complexity of transformative learning through summarizing its main theoretical views in the field of adult learning. Generally, there are several adult learning theories that basically provide insights and

learning can be categorized into three distinct groups: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism refers to the student's interaction with the environment and focuses on the external aspects of learning and on that which encourages learning such as positive reinforcement on the one hand and punishment on the toehr. Cogntivism, on the other hand, focuses on attitudes, motivation, and ideas and refers to the brain's interaction with the academic environment
