Analysis
The two careers that I found interesting are journalism and software engineer. Although the careers may seem to be very different, I think that both of them could be very applicable in a world that is increasingly turning towards the internet and computing possibilities for both educational and entertainment purposes. I think that journalism would be fascinating because I could research critical information and then share that information with people in order to help them make more informed decisions. I think that software engineering would be fascinating because I could help broaden the ways that people interact with computers, which, ultimately, lowers the access barriers for knowledge.
I do have concerns about the two careers that interest me. Although the job market for journalists is currently average, I know that there has been a decline in jobs for traditional journalists. This does not limit overall job opportunities, as non-traditional careers that involve freelance work have developed as more traditional jobs in print journalism have declined. However, I do think that it eliminates many of the…
Education Research Planning What are the critical aspects? According to the United States Government's "National Directions in Education Research Planning," educational research planning must emphasize focus and selectivity in curriculum design and "concentrate on those areas that the public and profession believe are important as well as those that will become important," to render education practical for student's future lives outside of the classroom. Student learning is the touchstone issue and there
Career Information Finding the most appropriate and up-to-date information about a specific career could be a tedious process. Luckily though, there are numerous sources of career information an individual could rely. In this text, I analyze three occupational information sources. O*NET Resource Center (http://www.onetcenter.org) In brief, O*NET describes itself as "the nation's primary source of occupational information" (O*NET, 2014). As the organization further points out on its Website, its database comprises of hundreds
Career Development Five-year career development plan The unstable economy might cause a recent college graduate to throw up his or her hands in despair at the idea of planning for the next five months in today's economic environment, much less his or her professional development over the course of the next five years. However, the very instability that causes such negative and self-defeating thinking makes it all the more necessary that one
With Kim's help, I saw that I had a knack for helping people. I was able not just to be supportive of others, but I could really connect with people and help them. I also had a great knowledge of course planning for almost every major at UConn, because I liked to read through the course booklet and see what kinds of classes were out there and see the
The program uses good planning models to develop and create the program, and the planners are aware of the program's intended audience, purpose, and topics. However, there are some weaknesses to the idea, too. They need to develop comprehensive training that is both affordable and retrains workers for new jobs, so they need to identify the top employment needs of different employers, and design curriculum to meet those needs.
The therapist will read the passage aloud to Jonathan, and ask him comprehension questions orally. This process will be repeated during Week 3. Week 3 will also feature a passage and comprehension questions. This time, however, Jonathan will be asked to read the passage aloud to the therapist and answer the subsequent comprehension questions. This week will include a writing exercise, with fairly simple instructions that relate to Jonathan's passion
