¶ … personal philosophy learning a process continuous; learns things day. You knowledgeable a There are many different ways of learning and of teaching. In fact, there appears to be an intrinsic relationship between learning and teaching. Teachers, after all, must have learned something in order to successfully depart this knowledge to others. Due to the multitude of methods for teaching and learning, it is important to consider factors such as learning style, distance and conventional classroom education, and teaching styles in order to gain the maximum amount of efficacy from this process. After a careful consideration of these factors, it strongly appears that in the documents that this assignment is reflecting upon, the most preferred method of learning by the individual who wrote those documents is observation and participation.
Observation and participation are crucial factors of learning via direct experience. In many ways, learning via direct experience is superior to classroom learning, whether or not such learning takes place in physical or virtual classrooms. When one learns through experience, he or she initially observes some process and then participates in it. Oftentimes, an individual may require longer periods of observation before he or she can successfully complete the process on his or her own. However, doing so enables the individual to actually see everything that he or she is going to do and then do...
This fact is underscored by the fact that Billings and Halstead (2012) have denoted the specific elements of learning as involving not only understanding and clarifying, but also of applying knowledge so that the individual must engage with it. Such application is readily available via participation. Oftentimes, it is possible for traditional learning -- both distance and classroom -- to forsake this element of participation. For many students, this aspect of traditional learning has a detrimental effect. Students frequently learn theories and notions, with little practical application. As such, this style of learning runs the risk of producing doctrinaires (many people would argue that it actually does produce doctrinaires). A good example of this fact is the way that math is traditionally taught. Students have very little practical application as to the meaning of the concepts and ideas that they are learning, especially at the more advanced levels. True mathematics occurs in nature and is fraught with examples among living beings. However, most math is not taught in such a way, which is why some students become intimidated by it and have difficulty grasping it. If there were more…

Every school supervisor knows that improving teaching and learning is always the goal of every school, and finding the right applications for progress toward better outcomes should be a collaborative and constant strategy unique to each school environment. In conclusion, collaboration is not a concept unique to the educational setting; indeed, any organization should embrace the idea of collaboration rather than strict hierarchal strategies. But when it comes to educational
Personal Reflection: Program Dispositions My experiences over this course forced me to fundamentally re-examine what is meant by student equity, the first, fundamental concept of all of the program dispositions. Before, I had a relatively narrow understanding of equity as being 'parity.' Now I understand that equity does not mean treating all students the same, but rather it means having the insight to perceive individual student's needs yet the ability to
The trainer will then focus on the steps to be taken to develop new skills. For example, if the trainer wants to talk about motivating, leading, negotiating, selling or speaking, it is best to start with what the learners do well before showing some chart on Maslow's theory, Posner's leadership practices, or selling skills from some standard package that has been develop elsewhere. Many foreign trainers make grave errors

popularized social and cultural trends are merging, intentionally or not, toward laying the foundation for generating a new narrative about what it means to learn across a lifespan in an environment conducive to healthy living. It seeks to examine the coalescing of what is called lifelong learning side-by-side with the theories and practices related to the evolution of ecological thinking and environmental awareness. The idea that life can be
