Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Funnel-Like Mindset

The areas of where learning is going, equipping, revision, evaluation and tailoring are all well addressed. Room for improvement exists in two areas, the hook and organized engagement sections. All activities in the lesson are particularly good at describing where the direction of learning is occurring. Because the lesson is a unit introduction, the investigative nature of the first activity is excellent at letting the students merge their own interests and knowledge with the topics being presented. By using a set of leading questions, the direction of investigation is loosely defined but students are free to pursue the questions according to interests and personal ability.

Grouping can have far-reaching effects on students learning and thus careful decisions should be made. More than just, flexibility should be allowed in ability grouping so that the need of different students could be catered. For example, it is suggested that the high-achieving and low-achieving homogeneous groups can interact occasionally so that students are able to learn from each other and acquire non-academic skills. In this way, a more positive image of ability grouping and education can be created in

Project-based learning differs from Problem-based learning as it emphasize on product. On the other hand, Problem-based learning emphasize on the process. Hence, blending the two approaches is a good idea. These approaches are suitable to create more authentic, student-centered learning to acquire soft skills. Students will be able to gain a lifelong knowledge and prepare themselves for real-world experience.

Often emotions contribute to our intuitive decisions which cloud our judgement. Emotions are part of the reason why we choose who to marry or which university course to major in. But we don’t realise that our emotions can change and this can alter the way we view our relationship, so the intuition may no longer be useful in generating the answers we would like. As mentioned earlier, intuition is based on forming patterns of previous experiences. We may become very skilled at using intuition without reasoning in one area and become overconfident and attempt to apply our intuition to another unfamiliar area.

After completing the learning style inventory, I discovered that I am both an Active Experimentation (AE) and Abstract Conceptualization (AC) learner. Which makes a lot of sense based on my life experiences, I learn best when I am thinking and doing. I love to take my time on assignments and think about what I want to accomplish. Making sure to tackle a problem from various angles is always something that I naturally do. Once I figure out a strategy I apply the doing piece, trying and tweaking my approach until I have found an optimized route.

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.

The research has not only reviewed the well-known concepts of academic plagiarism but also introduced new facts and forced to think of academic plagiarism in different light. A new thing learnt in this research is that plagiarism can occur intentionally and unintentionally. It may not be an intention to plagiarize but it will be marked as academic plagiarism if proper citations, quotations and references are not given. So understanding and learning how to cite and quote the references is significant. Most students do not realize the extent of the damage that plagiarism causes on their own intellectual growth.

Thus I feel student centred learning is more beneficial for students. The teacher needs to identify their personal teaching style and should also understand the learning styles of her students to engage and motivate all the learners further to enhance their

lecturers also believe in the existence of the best ways for students to learn about learning. On the other hand, instrumental style refers to the way lecturers carry out the task to assist students, planning the lesson, setting up the classroom standard and ensure that students achieve the standards

By adopting these several motivational strategies in the classroom will affect the enthusiasm of the students in a positive way, thus promoting and sustaining
