SCI411 Academic and personal development Portfolio: Part 1 From not being in education for a few years, being able to recognise my own academic skills, strengths and weaknesses was quite difficult. However, over these first couple of weeks in lectures my learning strengths and weaknesses have made themselves apparent. Whilst filling out the questionnaire Skills Self-Assessment Audit (Theeducators, 2013) it took a lot of understanding of the questions to be able to answer honestly, and my lowest scores reflected this in the personal effectiveness category.

Self-monitoring is when the student knows if they make sense while they are reading. Self-monitoring is when the student is self-questioning themselves as they are trying to figure out what they are having difficulty with. By watching Julia read, I realized that she doesn’t read the whole word and makes a quick assumption of what she thinks the word might be. By self-monitoring, this would give the student the opportunity to try to figure out the word or phrase that she doesn’t understand. In the article Self-Monitoring Strategies When Reading, Wilde states that when a child is reading they should ask themselves “Does this word look right, sound right, and make sense?”(Wilde,2011).

Abuse also greatly impacts several of the characters, particularly female characters, in The House of the Spirits. The story begins with Rosa and detailed descriptions of her otherworldly and unique beauty. She lives in her own world in her head, unaware of all the attention that she receives because of her appearance. Despite this, she becomes the first character to die and experience sexual abuse which, marks the beginning of several more violent acts inflicted upon women in this family.

Motivation 3.0 Academic future In the book “Drive” by Daniel Pink he argues “carrots and sticks” don 't work, they may have worked before but fail in todays 21st century, he advocates businesses and companies should transition into motivation 3.0 autonomy, mastery and purpose because “carrots and sticks” can achieve the opposite of what they’re actually intended for. Motivation 3.0 can be fostered by “type I behavior” that is driven by internal rewards and is self-directed to becoming better at something.

Canadians view education as the key to success in life. Although, the key to a successful life does come with a cost. Students must pay tuition, purchase expensive textbooks, pay an activity fee, and unless they live near a college or university, pay for residence or transportation.

U1 AC 2.1 - Explain ways to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. A number of ways to establish a safe and supportive learning environment is to stay within what is deemed as conventional rules and disciplines. A typical class room layout is rows of desks and chairs facing the front, it is the usual expected layout for learners and encourages them to accept conformity, something as simple as sitting on the chairs facing the front of the classroom is reassuring to the majority that the class is safe. In days of yesteryear the students would be expected to stand up when the teacher entered the room and wait for permission to be seated, thankfully those days are in the distant past and now it is acceptable to remain talking until the teacher is ready to begin class.
