My Plan

My plan for reviewing the NCLEX will take into account various considerations. Firstly, I will focus on my learning style in order to learn and understand effectively.

Women in the law enforcement and military have some shared experiences that civilian women do not usually have. The police and military work gives these women more experience in term of skills and expertise or knowledge than their civilian counterparts in important ways.

This type of learning facilitates education involving direct participation in real life events and settings.

The learning style inventory reveals I am a visual learner. As the term denotes, I respond more to visual aids or illustrations that enhance my learning ability. In this case, I often prefer information that is presented in visual representations such as graphs, charts, and diagrams. Therefore, I am able to connect the subject matter more appropriately if presented visually, compared to when I have to either read it or write it down. My learning style can further be reinforced by the fact that I remember best when I picture the concepts I learn in my mind. Thus, I ...

Having completed my learning and teaching style inventory, I realized that there are comparisons between the two aspects. It is clear that the teaching style inventory is focused on the relationship between the tutor’s personalities, learning strategies, and cognitive styles (Billings & Halstead, 2015). Learning style inventory are usually geared towards modeling desirable behaviors among learners. This is because as a tutor, I will always tend to show learners how best they can observe and emulate different approaches to the nursing course or medicine-related courses. Indeed my teaching style inventory employs various strategies that will ensure that the learners ...

I totally agree with Sheridan, but before presenting my opinion, I would like to describe these two statements (lifelong learning and continuing education) from my point of view. First of all, I would like to state, what does lifelong learning mean to me. Lifelong learning - it is a constant process of obtaining knowledge in particular field of activity. The main feature of this studying process is that it is not a self- compulsory one. The process of lifelong learning depends on your interest and is absolutely voluntary. For example, linguistic professions demand life lifelong learning. Studying languages and ...

Learning Style

The two learning style tests that I took were Whatismylearningstyle and The VARK Questionnaire. Under the Whatismylearningstyle Test 1, the learning styles are categorized under auditory, visual, tactile, global, analytic, or kinaesthetic styles. These learning styles divide the way different people learn and depend on certain sense, such as auditory or visual over others. On the other hand The VARK Questionnaire divides the learning styles into different strategies that are implemented by different people for learning. Some of the strategies that are listed under VARK are visual, read/write, aural, kinesthetic, and multimodal. After taking the Whatismylearningstyle learning test the ...

‘The value of understanding student’s learning styles for improving learning as well as scholastic achievement has been paid much attention by the educators, psychologists and researchers’ (Khan 2009: 236). The way people’s brains work during learning and the nature of learning materials form the preferred learning style. To know their pros and cons means to know how to choose the most suitable learning style in every particular case. I do find it important not to confuse learning styles with learning strategies. ‘Learning styles are innate preferences of individual of how they prefer to go about the process ...

In my academic life in this college, I have been performing poorly and if this trend continues I am going to lose my scholarship and be sent back home by my embassy and I have to pay all the money they have spent on my education.

In this program, I will apply different leadership techniques such as visionary, coaching and affiliative. Visionary leadership is paramount in my case because I need to adopt a new educational direction (Benincasa, 2012). In ...

The theories of adult learning provide educators a clear insight into how an adult learns, thus helping trainers to be more effective in training adults through being more responsive to their learning needs. The theory of self-directed learning states that majority of adult learners take the decision to learn without the intervention of others. They also plan, execute and evaluate their learning experience and align their new knowledge with the job roles. The main advantage of self-directed learning is that the learner can readily incorporate what he learns through the training program into everyday workplace requirement. The limitation of ...

Visual learner Being a predominantly visual learner, I like to learn by visualizing things. Colors, picture and flashcard can be of best help for a visual learner. Most people in the population are predominantly visual learners. They learn new concepts by watching, rather than by listening or touch. Good eyesight is very important for this learning style. A picture is worth a thousand words, then hours of blah, blah, blahBut I have a problem with this method, a picture can carry different meanings for different people. Thus, it is important that words accompany pictures, so that the message is ...

I believe that learning and creativity are closely intertwined. In our everyday life, every person probably experiences learning at one point or the other. Learning is integral to life. There are a myriad experiences and activities that are new to each and every person every day. As a child I learnt how to speak a ride bicycle with the help of my friends. It took a while but eventually I was able to balance myself on the two wheels: something I believed impossible. When I finally tested myself on a motorcycle in my teenage years, the only skill I ...

Problem Statement

Understanding the impact of culture on student learning is very critical to the provision of good quality education to learners. The global population is made of people with different cultures. In learning institutions, it is common to find a class made up of students and instructors from different communities with different cultural perspectives. Culture defines people’s way of life and comprises beliefs, knowledge, symbols, values, and behaviors. In a learning environment, there is a student’s culture, instructor’s culture, and the culture of people in the surrounding environment. Culture in such a case can be homogenous (where ...

Letter of Transmittal

This paper will examine the African American community in relation to our values, norms and beliefs and the role played by my immediate environment and ...
