Malcom Knowles theory of adult learning

The Andragogy theory by Knowles primarily focuses on adult learning experience as well as effective adult education approaches (Knowles, 1984). The theory contends that adults expect to be accountable for their decisions, and they are self-directed. As a result, adults often design their learning schedules and are encouraged to commit to their studies (Knowles, 1975). Adult education is also collaborative because adults compared to children, like working together and reviewing each other’s coursework with the primary objective of comprehending a subject. Besides, adult learning is rather casual, and grades do not matter, as adult instructors focus on the ...

The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to be given to an artist “who created the most distinguished picture book of the year.” (www.ala.org) In 1992, the winner of that prestigious award was David Wiesner, the children’s author and illustrator of the book Tuesday. Known for books with little or few words, Tuesday stays true to this artist’s format. The book opens with the words, “TUESDAY EVENING, AROUND EIGHT”. It is easy to see why it became such a favorite. Simply it is the story of frogs unexpectedly taking flight from their pond, on lily pads. Through pictures ...

Why the protagonist remains unnamed?

The protagonist remains unnamed for two reasons. (1) The protagonist remaining unnamed creates a separation for the narrator. The narrator returns for a funeral, but he does not appear to want to interact with anyone. He then walks over to Hempstock Farm where he sees Lettie’s mom. The narrator begins remembering events that happened when he was 7. Since most of the book takes place as a memory it would make sense that the protagonist would remain unnamed because most people do not refer to themselves by their name in memories. (2) Names are power, when the antagonist ...

The recent print ad of Swiffer Bissell Steamboost promotes traditional gender stereotypes because it shows that domestic work is a woman's strength, something that she should be proud of. Because men and women are different in numerous ways, it must not come as a surprise that advertisements depict men and women in a different way. Stereotypes are formed through the continuous, prolonged exposure of viewers to the various devices of imagery. The notion, message, or idea of an array of depictions must be taken into consideration when analyzing stereotypes. As explained by Sheehan (77), a sole ad or any ...

Chronic diseases are the leading cause of deaths occurring in the country as far as the current statistics are concerned. The most common chronic diseases include; stroke, heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes and arthritis (CDC, 2016). Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that about 117 million people of the total adult population have at least one chronic disease (CDC, 2016). This statistic translates to one in every four adults having, at least, one chronic condition (CDC, 2016). In 2010, seven out of 10 disease-related death cases were as a result of chronic diseases (CDC, ...

I woke up late that morning. I had an intense feeling of tiredness. In fact, it was one of those mornings when I felt like doing nothing. But, it was the beginning of the day and as much as I would have loved to stay in bed I knew I had to get up. I reached for my lifesaver. I needed it to open my eyes fully and drag myself out of bed. And yes, it worked as usual. My morning coffee was always there to help me to start a new day. The freshness of that glorious coffee ...

As opposed to a traditional, "right out of high school" college student, an adult learner has well-defined and clear objectives with regard to the education process. An adult learner knows what opportunities he/she will be exposed to after obtaining a college degree and in what other ways he/she will benefit from obtaining it. Speaking in terms of career, typical "right out of high school" college students do not know what they want to pursue in their lives, while an adult learner views college as an opportunity for personal and professional; development. In actual fact, the combination of the above-mentioned ...

Response to Question One

Many United States citizens affected by HIV have received assistance from aid programmes available in the country. People currently living with HIV in New York have received support for their basic and secondary needs. Most of the aid granted to People Living with HIV (PLWH) have been through the Special Need Plan (SNP) (World Health Organization, 2014). Only PLWH and their dependants can join the HIV SNP. SNP provides mainstream managed care to the registered members. It also has the mandate of coordinating various forms of aid and supporting in the best way people living with HIV(Dutta, Wirtz, ...

A defendant is innocent until proven guilty. The structure of the legal system and process in the United States is to place the burden of proof on the government. The government carries this burden of proof as to every element of the crime the defendant is charged with. In order for a criminal defendant to be found guilty, the prosecution must establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (In re Winship, 1970, p. 361). The reason for this high burden of proof is to guard against government abuse. Were the government not bound by any constraints, the respective positions of ...

The introduction helps in determining pointers of child abuse or neglect in the community, as well as, the effects of child abuse or neglect on the child. Finally, the research was also interested in determining interventions for child abuse and neglect, how they could be applied in different ways and their effects on the children. A case plan involved members of a family in the Broward County in Florida. The family was selected after pre-qualification determining that the family was ...

Accountability and rehabilitation. These are the core objectives of the juvenile probation system today. In early America, children who committed crimes were either simply placed back into the community where they would recommit or they were placed in jails with adults. Since children are mentally, emotionally and developmentally different than adults, there was a significant need for change for these children. Today, juvenile probation is the most common disposition for children adjudicated in the juvenile justice system as delinquent. The “workhorse of the juvenile justice system” is a term that has been given to the juvenile probation system in ...

Introduction

Intimate partner violence, widely recognized as domestic violence, can be best defined as “a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors including physical, sexual and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion used by adults or adolescents against their current or former intimate partners” (“Behind Closed Doors: The Impact of Domestic Violence on Children” 3). It is no secret that children desperately need safety and security within their homes and the love and care of their parents. However, it is a bitter truth that a great number of children do not have a haven-like home. It is ...

Juvenile offenders continue to make the news with their delinquent behaviors that are often disturbing to the natural balance of the order of the society. There is a growing concern with the number of juvenile crimes that is committed in the society at present and that the measures that are currently in place appear to be ineffective. Juveniles commit serious crimes that warrant greater punishment that the judiciary system metes out to these children. But advocates on children rights would argue that juveniles are not mentally developed to deal with the punishment that would suit the crimes that they ...

Article Review

Abstract This paper attempts to provide a discussion on the choice of the field of study at the undergraduate level based on a research article that investigates the choice of subject and the factors affecting the choice . We discuss how student background and the motivations influence the subject choice. In doing so we have also discussed how the motivation is affected by the student’s social, economic and ethnic background. The implications of the result for policy purposes have also been discussed. We find that two issues like student’s ability and interests and the social contribution of a ...

Abstract

This paper focuses on a potential client for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). The client to be discussed is Brett Mitchell, a twenty-five-year-old African American male who is unemployed, and the child of recovering drug-dependent parents. Studies show that Adult Children of Addicts (ACoAs) present with a range of symptoms that run the gamut of psychiatric and stress-related disorders, from substance-abuse disorders and other addictions to depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. In the case of the client to be discussed in this paper, he is seeking counseling for identity confusion, depression and arrested psychosocial development. ...

Role of Physical Activity in Preventing Child Obesity

Prospectus: Role of Physical Activity in Preventing Child Obesity Problem Statement It is well known that in order to be vigorous people should go in for sport and physical activities. Currently obesity among the population of the United States has reached enormous statistics and is one of the most hazardous diseases which threaten our nation. American Academy of Pediatrics states “According to the 1999 –2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the prevalence of overweight or obesity in children and youth in the United States is over 15%, a value that has tripled since the 1960s” (AAP, 2016).

An Analytic Review

In Robert Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays” we get a glimpse of the author’s childhood relationship with his father. In this work, Hayden describes a child’s view of a father from a now-adult perspective. His regret is evident, and the sadness in his voice rings down the corridors of time. “Those Winter Sundays” begin with a description of Hayden’s father rising in the early hours even on “Sundays too” (1), letting the reader know he gets up every morning in the same way. Using consonance, Hayden drives home both the hour and the temperature, noting “the ...

Abstract

Nothing offends a society and community’s sense of morals and safety than instances where the most vulnerable of the community are subjected to brutal and crimes that define reason. Various agencies played significant parts in the perception of sexual felons as brutal, unfeeling and callous “brutes” out for the satisfaction of their own perverted carnal pleasures. However, research shows that what the media and other agencies reported tend to skew a proper study and comprehension of the proper understanding of what actually comprises sexual deviance. In addition, the public’s understanding of sexual felony is mainly founded ...

Travis Hirshci had went to college and received an undergraduate degree in sociology. Once he moved to a more prominent city to attend graduate school he had observed behavior. He reviewed how people’s social interactions affected their personal choices and behaviors. This led him to researching criminal behavior and the connection to social bond and control theory. Hirschi’s theories came about back in the late 1960’s when the world was evolving after war, and independence. People were making decisions that were not normally made or accepted in society. The era that Hirschi was experienced had become ...

Different works of art reflect various events that occur in real life. Works of literature either explain or provide responses to real life situations with the addition of a fictional twist. Literature works explore different real life themes, which allows readers to identify with the different characters. Tobias Wolff’s story titled “Bullet in the Brain” explains the last memory of Anders, a man who has lived his life being critical of others (Wolff). The story also explains the circumstances leading to Anders’ death as well as how his life had changed from when he was younger. The short ...

Should Everyone Serve Two Years’ Mandatory Military Service?

Should Everyone Serve Two Years’ Mandatory Military Service? As many know in some countries it is mandatory for every young person to serve at least two years of military service in honour of their country. With military and global conflict arisen in this day in age, some suggest that the United States should regulate such a policy, in which it is mandatory for all citizens at a specific legally-consented age to be subject to binding military enrollment. It is in my most humble opinion that it should not be mandatory for all young people to serve a two-year period ...

Introduction

Over time, there has been increasing interest in culturally responsive teaching that grew since the late 1980’s and the early 1990s primarily because of the increasing diversity in the country’s classrooms. This is coupled with the concern over the low rate of success by the many racial and ethnic minority students despite numerous years of reforms in the education fields. The ongoing reform of the Native American education is further influenced by the fact that after years of population decline to the historic low of around 237,000 members in the year 1900 the American Indian populations ...

Insect Life Cycles/Colony Collapse Disorder

Insects undergo several growth and development stages during their life cycle. There are three distinct processes that different insects undergo as they grow. The processes are; ametabolism, hemimetabolism, and holometabolism (Mackean 2004).

This is the simplest type of all development processes and is used by primitive insects like silverfish. The insects emerge from the eggs with the same body plan as the adults and increase in size without changing shape until they mature.

Hemimetabolism

In this process, the insect undergoes gradual progressive change until it attains sexual maturity. The stages involved in this process are; egg, nymph, and adult. At ...

“In 1969 Travis Hirschi had come up with the theory of social control and social bond theory” . His theories were implemented into criminology studies over the years. Some theorists have argued his theories, and debated on the positivity and worthiness of them. Even though other theorists have tried to discard the theories Hirschi had brought forth into criminology; he is still a leading individual theorist for over 40 years. Hirschi had grew up in Utah and obtained his undergraduate degree in Sociology. He then decided to take his education to San Francisco California to obtain his graduate degree. The ...

People generally believe that the Harry Potter book series is destined for children and teenagers. The book series about the adventures of a young wizard and his friends in an enchanted land change with every book. As the protagonists grow up from being children to being teenagers, the story also changes to become darker and more violent. This series addresses young people, who are supposed to grow up reading the series, and the books change with each stage in the growing up process. However, many adults also read books for children and young adults, and I am one of ...

Good Parenting and bad parenting is not absolute. It is purely relative and a matter of perception, as also through which window a particular event or a series of events is looked at. No parent, however evil or vile, would want to be a bad parent. Nobody would deliberately be a bad person. A negative act at the time of occurrence in full conscience, happens only when the individual inflicting believes that the act is right and appropriate in the given situation and circumstance. Parenting practices are subject to the knowledge, competence, and awareness of the parents themselves. For ...

One of the most important facets of human interaction is communication. Communication is an essential element to building personal and professional relationships. Furthermore, it can make or break a person in the professional field. Exchanging feedback with someone is bigger than being able to say “hi” and “bye”. Communication is not one-dimensional. It should be liquid and pliable like the endless options of professions in the world. There is no one way to master the art of communication. That fact alone is common knowledge. There are plenty of reasons why communication as a professional is important, and there are ...

Countries created sets of rules to regulate their inhabitants’ actions. The democracy is one of the basic political systems that existed for centuries. The word means “rule of the people”. It evolved in different forms during this period. The same situation was with the citizenship. Living conditions depended up the country and time.

ANCIENT GREECE

Introduction

A lot has been discussed the influence of the environment on the development of children. The environment a child grows in determines how they perceive the world, others and themselves. It affects the development of their personality and could determine whether a child grows up to a responsible adult or ends up in crime and drugs. Hence, the family plays a huge role since it's the environment in which most of the time as a child is spent. The following essay discusses the role of family systems in childhood development, the interrelation between trauma, spirituality and development and the ...

Fear is a relative term, at least from the human perspective. This suggests that humanity has experienced its own sets of fears, depending on the prevailing dangers of a particular physical environment and epoch. In this regard, it has always been common knowledge that survival is an integral part of every species, including the Homo sapiens, and that compromising the sense of safety of animals and humans is most likely to instigate a reaction of fear. As such, it can also be said that fear is a beneficial aspect of existence, given that it triggers reactions of alertness, fighting ...

Domestic Violence Shelter

Domestic violence is an ongoing problem affecting 10 million people every year and accounting for 15% of violent crime, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence [NCADV] (n.d.). Not only does it affect the men and women who are the physically and mentally impacted, but the children who must witness it as well. A domestic violence shelter designed to address the needs of all those impacted by domestic violence can provide the first steps to regaining control of one’s life through counseling, case management, victim advocacy, medical and behavioral health referral, and vocational, legal and educational support. ...

There are several myths concerning the application of the death row inmates in cases of serious crimes. Such myths can make the population confused. One of the myths about the death row is that many countries use this kind of punishment. However, in reality, the majority of countries, including almost all European countries, declined such way of punishment. The United States is the only western democratic state that uses the capital sentence as a form of punishment of offenders. Another myth regarding the death warrant concerns what many people believe that the capital punishment can prevent new crimes and ...

Although the US has recorded hundreds of proposed reforms to its healthcare system, few have been enacted into law. In 2010, however, a landmark reform was enacted with the hope that it would improve access to affordable care. Since its enactment, the Affordable Care Act has seen several changes made to the US healthcare system (United Health Foundation, 2016). Subsequently, the impact of these changes on the state of health in the various states has emerged as an important area of study. In view of this, the current paper compares and contrasts the state of health in the states ...

Introduction

Contemporary healthcare systems the world over are increasingly being presented with challenging and tumultuous times such that, these outcomes are most likely to be embraced by workers in the nursing profession as the new normal. In today’s hectic healthcare industry environment, nursing leaders play a critical role in enabling nursing teams professionally and ethically dispense assigned responsibilities as much as these responsibilities seem to increase exponentially. Nurses and more so, nursing leaders have to exhibit high degrees of professional as well as personal accountability even in situations abound with growing stressors that can potentially diminish their leadership capabilities. ...

It is difficult to measure the positive or negative effects of emotional development because for one, young people can only show us physiological differences and for two, many of the psycho-social influences do not manifest themselves until later in life and are then also conglomerations of one another and thereby makes it very difficult to realistically pinpoint causal mechanisms. What is needed however, is to then mark what is a common desire for individuals and parents to have in others and children. Ultimately, maturity is a sufficient umbrella term that could serve as an effective mark, but currently, modern ...

There are myriad onstage and offstage performances that enchant the spectators worldwide. The present paper attempts to discuss the possibility and probable negative impacts of providing rating system for the theatrical productions. Rating is not a novel concept as it is mostly associated with films, journals and other literary works of art. The system definitely helps the people to take a suitable judgement as to interpret which art works are appropriate to watch. In the changing scenario, even the rating system fails to classify the art works on the matters of sex and violence. While the rating system is ...

These concepts are Paulo Freire’s concept of transformation as consciousness-raising, Jack Mazirow’s concept of transformation as critical ...

Abstract

The paper focuses on understanding the pedagogical and andragogical approaches of learning and instruction. Pedagogical approach is usually curriculum based learning imparted by the teachers for making the learners understand the basic concept on which their future learning will be based. On the contrary, andragogical approach is based on self directed learning, a motivation towards learning and development, orientation which focuses on learning, willingness to gain knowledge and previous learning experiences. Andragogical approach is mostly used by organizations to train employees on various organizational issues which in our case is sexual harassment and its complaint handling. Sometimes, a blend ...

Introduction

The work of health and social care worker is often regarded as a vital component of ensuring the society’s well being. On the other hand, being in this field of work also requires a much deeper understanding of various social and health conditions. Understanding specific needs in health and social care is imperative in ensuring that the root cause of the problem is being addressed.

Epidemiology forms the foundation of public health and nursing in its entirety. As such, understanding the demographic patterns, causes as well as effects of a disease enables the nurses to make appropriate decisions, identify the risk factors and subsequently come up with evidence-based intervention strategies to mitigate the effects of the disease. The purpose of this paper is to identify a communicable illness in Ghana and describe its history as well as its pathophysiology. Additionally, the paper will discuss the demographic patterns of the illness, risk factors of the illness and the evidence-based approaches that have been used to ...

I concur with the idea that ways in which adult learn is different from the ways in which children learn, especially the notion that experience provides the basis for adult learning activities. This notion is also being supported by the study conducted by the Colorado Christian University (CCU). In its study, the CCU found out that whereas adults challenge new information, children implicitly accept it. It also found out that adults learn best by challenging new ideas, comparing them to life lessons and preconceived notions, thereby sealing the new information into their minds (CUU, 2011). I also agree with ...

Money is a necessity to survive. Therefore, most people HAVE to work. Employment happens to be an obligatory means to an end. The greatest jobs require the best workers. Do not for one second think that the top jobs are given to anybody that comes along. If it was that easy, then each person would have a great job. There are certain skills that a person should possess in order to succeed and secure their position in the work place. Communication is the holy grail of human interaction. It is even more important in a professional environment. One must ...

Dear Editorial Office,

I am writing to express my support for more education and training opportunities for the adults. In the recent years adult education has become a major concern across the countries and our community is not the exception. As the world is developing fast, more opportunities for professional development are appearing; however, as far as adult education is concerned, there is still a place for the improvement. Society offers multiple opportunities for children and young professionals, but somehow the adults are often ignored in this regard. It is inspiring that our community acknowledges the lack of educational opportunities for adults ...

If you look at the way children were handled even a couple of generations ago, it was in vogue to look at children as smaller versions of adults. They might have been smaller, but they were expected to move as quickly as possible into adopting adult patterns of behavior. Such maxims as “Spare the rod, spoil the child” and “Children should be seen and not heard” were signs that the whims of childhood were not things to be indulged but instead were to be tamped down as quickly as possible by the realities of adulthood. It was not uncommon ...

INTRODUCTION

Children are one of the most vulnerable and tender section of the society. They are the ones who shape up the future of the world. At the same time, any bad incidence with them will lead to increase in the sufferings of the world in every aspect or field.

One of those many activities is the act of childhood sex abuse. The incidences of sexual abuse have been on the rise since the last few decades. The increase ...

ISSUE OF PUBLIC HEALTH: TYPE II DIABETES

Diabetes is a significant problem in places like the United States, particularly type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is often associated with obesity and poor lifestyle choices, although genetic predisposition also seems to play a role in the development of the disease (Look AHEAD Research Group, 2013). The three studies chosen for discussion here are all studies that examine the impact of diet and lifestyle choices on people who have type II diabetes; many of these researchers are interested in developing methods to offset the significant health risks and population-wide costs of such high prevalence of the disease. The ...

Entomology is the investigation of bugs, which are those creatures that have an exoskeleton, 6 legs, 3 body portions, 1 sets of radio wire, and 1 sets of compound eyes. The quickly developing field of measurable entomology is extensively characterized as the utilization of the investigative investigation of creepy crawlies and their arthropod relatives to lawful matters. Scientific entomologists regularly manage non-creepy crawly arthropods, for example, arachnids, bugs, and ticks. Thusly, the essential meaning of "criminological entomology" amplifies past "entomology." Inside of the scientific sciences, legal entomologists can set up a part of the after death interim (which is ...

Literature Review

Chairman: Committee member: Committee member: Masters of Arts in Psychology 2016 Introduction With childhood obesity on the rise, there is increasing concern about the prevention and treatment of obesity. Current national data on childhood and adolescent obesity show 16.9 percent of 2-to-19-year-old children and adolescents are obese (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, 2014). An effective intervention to manage obesity is essential. The current weight management practices involve dietary modification, behavioral change therapies involving exercise, pharmacological therapy and surgical intervention. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the current research on Motivational Interviewing (MI) as an effective method for ...

Abstract

Erik Erikson developed a psychosocial theory to explain stages of development experienced throughout an individual’s life, from birth and infancy to old age and death. He is most closely compared to Freud, whose psychoanalytic theory predated and somewhat overlapped Erikson’s. Where they were divided, though, was with regards to motivation; Freud believed sexuality was the underlying reason for action whereas Erikson believed social interaction mostly motivated people. Erikson outlined eight total stages to describe dichotomous “life crises” that define important dilemmas at any particular stage of life. The eight stages encompass the acquisition or loss of qualities ...

The name of the school/university

As it was already discussed in Chapter 6, the Juvenile court in the United States is well designed structure that is able to meet the necessities of dealing with the juvenile offenders. It relies mainly on the prevention from committing crimes rather than sentencing and punishing the offenders. The decisions of the court are based on the principle that everything must be done in the child’s interest. There is a substantial group of juvenile offenders who are waived to the adult courts and endure a real trial. A long discussion took place through the years about the waiving ...
