The court of public opinion is as just as the court of law and perhaps more effective and time efficient. The film The Man Who Sued God will be used in reflection to oppose the intent of the court. The court of public opinion holds no procedural fairness, no rule of evidence and the beliefs which underpin our laws in the standard court of law do not apply in the court of public opinion. Throughout the film the trial results in a respectable outcome for the plaintiff however, the fact that justice
In this report I will discuss both the Social and Medical Models, define their pros and cons and give a short reflection on my own opinion of the two models in everyday use today. Both the medical and the social models of disability describe how they see disability and how they feel disabilities and those suffering should be treated. Both models have very different views on the causes of, how disabilities should be taken care of and by whom and both have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes
The procedure is a series of steps, or actions, carried out to achieve the goal. Procedural knowledge is often termed procedural knowledge (eg Canobi, 2009; brittle-Johnson et al, 2001). For example, the 'knowledge Procedure is' know how', or knowledge of the steps required to achieve various goals. Procedures have been characterized by the formation of
Having gone through the psychology course successfully, I have been equipped with knowledge on various aspects of human behaviors and the scientific reasons behind them. Subsequently, in this personal reflection paper, I will select the topic of memory given its intrigues and interesting findings from the textbook. Memory refers to the process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information. It has been described as the means that enable human beings to use the knowledge that has been acquired over
Information processing models from the 1970s included executive control system that regulates basic cognitive processes. Also, Vygotsky, (1896-1934) and Piaget (1896-1980) also added self-regulation and self-reflection in their cognitive development theory. Self-regulation and self-reflection are in fact metacognition. After the work of Flavell, many researches have been conducted and a lot of new findings came up. One of the recent definitions of metacognition is that it is the students’ awareness
Distributive Justice Distributive justice implies a more reasonable distribution of resources (Sangiovanni, 2012), together with natural resources and social benefits (Stark, 2010). The awareness of distributive justice somehow relies on whether the benefits are material or symbolic (Sangiovanni, 2012), and Otto, Baumert, and Bobocel (2011) establish that it depends on cultural values. Not only tangible goods are distributed but also intangible things and fairness perceptions depend on how these
Math Diagnosis Kenique Walker-Reflection I am a third year student-teacher at the Mico University College perusing my degree in Mathematics Education. Has a third year student I am required to complete a course called Math Diagnosis and Intervention at the Primary Level. In this course my lecturer Mrs. Baker-Gibson gave an assignment which required me to work in group of four to identify a student at the secondary level, design and administer a survey test to gather demographical, medical, educational
a part of. She says that “if you did this (unfolds fraction strip) that would have been a whole, but it’s not like that. It is just one half.” The student is showing understanding that the fraction is part of the whole that she manipulated. Upon reflection, I would have encouraged her to talk about how the number of equal parts in her whole prompted her to say that each part was worth one half. This would allow her to connect her reasoning with the reasoning that her classmate made earlier regarding
activity (colors) between two Korean lessons. The first time was strictly structural, learning the names of the colors, but the second time we put our new declarative knowledge to use. This in turn added to our procedural knowledge because we used it in conversation with others. Procedural knowledge may eventually become automatic, and the learner may not remember it being declarative knowledge to start (Lightbown and Spada
Though one cannot give a procedural guideline for implementing critical pedagogy into a programme of teacher education, there are three tenets that are inherent in a critical pedagogy. These tenets are a culmination of perspectives from various critical theorists including Giroux, McLaren, Delpit, Ladson-Billings, Dillard, Hooks and others. The three tenets are as follows: (a) reflection upon the individual’s culture or lived experience, (b) development of
