David Kolb's Experiential Learning Model Of Reflection

756 Words4 Pages

I have chosen to use David Kolb 's experiential learning model of reflection (McLeod, 2010), because I feel it is the best model for me to reflect on my personal experience of moving house. I lived with my parents for the last 20 years and we had always lived in the same house, so I had never experienced the transaction of moving before. In may 2014 my partner and I decided to purchase our first house. We began to search for a property, when we found our perfect one we arranged a viewing for June. After viewing the property, we wanted to ensure it was suitable for us financially so we visited our mortgage advisor. After a successful meeting we made our decision and we decided to make an offer on the property. On the 31st July we made an offer …show more content…

Firstly I feel that it was the emotions of being a first time buyer and not experiencing the transition of a move before . I was unaware of the process of buying a house, the amount of time it can take and the complications that may arouse. As studies show the experience of moving house can be a stressful time, different elements such as; separation from family, moving to a different area and the unknown surroundings are a few reasons it is stressful (Raviv et al, 1990). Another problem was time management. Time management needs to be planned successfully in order to hit deadlines, plans should be considered and built in so if a problem occurs it can be rectified and the deadline can still be hit (Forsyth, 2013). This is what the sellers solicitor did not prepare for, we were given the date of the 31st October however they did not manage their time correctly, as a week before we were due to exchange the searches had not been received. When it comes to deadlines it is better to be realistic and honest. The reason we had three deadlines was due to solicitors not being honest, they were aware it would not be possible to achieve the first two deadlines. Lastly the main factor that affected my experience was poor communication skills. For information to be passed on correctly it needs to be communicated well between the different agents involved. This is to ensure that it is understood and that everyone has taken the information in the same context. In my experience communication was not effective. When I contacted solicitors and estate agents neither had the same information. Due to poor communication neither parties were clear on what was

Fourth reflection was at 14:28, and is “it sounds like you have a good plan.” This was a failed attempt to respond to Phoebe and keep the conversation flowing. Rationale for this was because she previously stated what she wants to do as far as career goes working with other women. For her a dream of seeking empowerment with other women as a career, seemed to me, like her plan. Fifth reflection was at 16:27, and is “it seems like you might want to isolate yourself a little bit more.”

I have always felt that there is a difference between a house and your home because a house is where you live, but your home is where you feel that you are connected to your loved ones. Your home is where you breathe and all you feel is peace. My entire life I have been adapting to new environments, which makes me feel comfortable about leaving for college, meeting new people and studying the career that I have always had a passion for. At the age of 6 my parents decided to move to the Dominican Republic, which I considered to be a different world.

I choose this book as a personal curiosity as I have always wondered if I was a bit autistic. Throughout my life, I have been labeled as intellectually gifted, but emotionally challenged. As a child, I had anger issues and never had many friends, often socially awkward. So, I wanted to read a book to see how a person who does have autism was. I wanted to see if I had some of the same issues and complaints.

The purpose and individuals goals came to me as I was reading chapter 3 in the Learning Through Serving: A Student Guidebook for Service­ Learning and Civic Engagement Across Academic Disciplines and Cultural Communities book.

Learning from Home Ownership “As I enter a new phase of my life and my circle broadens, I start learning new things.” – Kapil Dev. Purchasing a home threw me into a new phase of my life, my circle of responsibilities broadened, and I slowly began to learn the need to prepare financially for the unexpected and how to attempt new tasks, such as home improvements, on my own. My husband, Dustin, and I bought our one-hundred-year old, single story, yellow house on June 3, 2006. Consisting of three bedrooms, a massive living room, a suitable dining room, a quaint kitchen, one cramped bathroom, and a decent one and a half car detached garage, it felt as though this house was a perfect fit for my family.

A critical incident is an unexpected event which urges an individual to stop, reflect and re-examine his beliefs. As a consequence, that individual establishes new understandings and changes his perspective (Farrell, 2008). My critical incident caused me to critically analyze myself and take a reflective stance on my approach to teaching and learning. Furthermore, this incident was the driving force behind my growth as an educator and an individual. During my second week at the SBE placement I was asked to conduct a class.

Description Reflection is a necessary component in learning to regulate opinion, feelings, and actions. Reflection links experience and knowledge by providing an opportunity to explore areas of concern in a critical way and to make adjustments based on these reflections (Knowles Z., Tyler G., 2006). I will be using the Gibbs G (1988) Learning by Doing: A guide to teaching and learning methods (Davies S., 2012).

Action – Reflection Theory From the Freirean perspective, however, the preparation of health promoters should have two aims: firstly, to conscientise them so that they can change from being moral guardians to cultural change agents because moral guardianship in health workers acts as a barrier to health promotion; and secondly, to equip them with skills necessary to facilitate conscientisation in their clients. This will have implications for curriculum, teaching and learning methods, and clinical setting organisation. The health care training curriculum in Malawi is subsumed by medicine and operates under the influence of the biomedical model constructed within the positivist paradigm (see also McCall 1996; Roberts 2000). The biomedical model
