Well I have learned a lot of lessons in this class and it was very hard for me to narrow it down. I did have to do some critical thinking when it came to deciding which lessons stood out to me and what they meant. The First lesson for me want to find out what type of thinker that I am. In this lesson, the reading gave us a deeper look at the different stages of thinking that there are. Six different stages were identified and this is where I learned that I am a beginning thinker. Meaning, that I become aware of my basic problem and take command of my thinking to improve it. This means a great deal to me because, it defines why I think the way I do. This really helped me along the way in finishing this course. When it came to other assignments …show more content…

This week we read that there are many barriers that can keep you from being a critical thinker and that these barriers cloud your thinking in a big way. The first barrier that I identified with was self-concept because, I deal with a low self-esteem and insecurity. I also found that my depression and anxiety are key factors that affect my ability to think critically. This was probably the meaningful to me because, it really opened my eyes to as to how these barriers have affected my thinking. They kept me a sort of cloud over me therefore keeping me from developing decent critical thinking skills mostly out of …show more content…

Well I fully intend to do just that. Whether it be in raising my children, finances, my marriage and work. I will apply the practice daily and do my best to be able to know when those barriers are affecting my thinking. One way to keep the depression and anxiety from influencing my thinking is to take my medication. Now when I am faced with an issue in the above-mentioned topics I will apply the five-step model.

One of the lessons that really stuck out to me was how we tend to let others' opinions plant a seed of doubt in our minds. These thoughts do not come from us, rather they come from the enemy in life. “Just because you have a negative thought doesn’t mean you have to believe it” (Page 48). We all think negatively about ourselves, but we don’t have to believe it. If you give in to negative thoughts, it will be harder to believe in the positive ones that are true.

In order to even have something to share with the class in the first place it was up to each of us to read, understand, and analyze the texts we were given for their meaning. This by far was probably most enjoyable part of the class for me personally, partly because I found many of the texts we read to have quite a bit of philosophical content. During the course I found the readings with Marcus Aurelius and Aristotle of particular interest and much of what they had to say spoke to me on a personal level. For example, I found Aristotle’s understanding about the distinction between concord and friendship in the Nicomachean Ethics to be very apt. Though the difference between these two types of relationships can seem minute, a large distinction can be made between them in terms of common interest.

Developmental psychologists have helped to our comprehension of teaching for critical thinking. Perry’s (1970) investigation of intellectual improvement in male undergraduates was followed and refined by researches that studied the intellectual development of women and minorities (Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule, 1986; Baxter-Magolda, 1992; Helms, 1990). This body of research has given an educational perspective of the different developmental difficulties learners may face in learning to think critically. Kurfiss (1988) has organized stages into four main categories of the ways in which learners observe the nature of knowledge and reply to tasks requiring critical thinking: 1. Dualism/received knowledge, a position that considers knowledge

Critical Reflection – Lesson Plans: How did I plan my lessons to be inclusive of all students’ needs? In order to effectively plan inclusive lessons, a teacher needs to have a comprehensive knowledge of: their students, including their abilities and interests; alternative ways to teach and evaluate student understanding; how to adapt materials and text; the expectations of the school and community; and how to utilise this knowledge together into meaningful activities and experiences for all students (Hoy & Margetts, 2010). Being conscious that students learn in multiple ways, an attempt was made to include visual, auditory and kinaesthetic strategies within my lessons to cater for the needs, abilities and interests of all students. It was challenging

Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
