Journal Entry 1 Studying unit one has done a lot for me, specifically knowing who I am and how I fit in not only in business but the world in general. Throughout this unit there were several eye opening assessments including what I felt to be the most important, “Self-Awareness”, “Emotional Intelligence” and “Defining Issues”. During each assessment I could see my opinions changing and was given a different perspective by answering questions, they truly made me acknowledge opportunities I had in life. The self-awareness assessment was probably the most useful for me out of them all. One of the questions asked was “I feel in charge of what happens to me, good and bad”. When I first answered the question I gave myself a 6 because I completely felt in the beginning that everything that happens in like to me is completely up to me, I determine if I do well in school, work or in relationships and the route that I personally take in these positions in life are going to determine my success. However, after beginning to understanding what it really means to be self-aware I’ve noticed I can be to narrow minded preventing me from working effectively on teams, my attitude toward not asking for help, other opinions then only doing what I think is right could lead to my dismay. I’ve made it appoint to being more open to bringing others into my decision …show more content…
It was hard for me to look at the questions and answer them honestly out of embarrassment to myself. When I finished the sentence “I get really upset, I” answered it with “tend to blow up and let off steam”; even though I really wanted to answer “Analyze why I am so disturbed”. When asking myself this, I realized my opportunity and promised myself that from that point forward I would do a variety of different things out of my norm. I would take a moment to breath, ask myself why I’m angry and think of how the most intelligent people I know would handle the
After taking the Personal Survey of Assessment Literacy, I learned a lot about myself and what I do know about assessments, and what I don’t. This survey allowed me to reflect on the process that I take to plan, develop, and administer tests in my class and what I need to do with the results. When I went through the criteria of all of the topics in the survey, I honestly did not know what the survey was talking about or what it meant. This was really concerning to me because I like to think that I do a pretty good job when it comes to instruction of my class and how I assess their knowledge of the material. I learned from this survey that there are a lot of things I do well during assessments and that there is still a lot that I need to learn to be an effective classroom leader. After scoring the survey, I noticed that I scored myself the highest in the section of During Test Administration with a perfect average score of 5 and scored an average of 4 in the section After Testing. The two lowest sections I scored in where in the General Considerations with an average score of 3.3 and in the section of Prior to Test Design with a score of 3.5.
Question 1 – The reason of the price of free-range eggs is expected to rise.
The very first thing I found during my time with this course is that I often struggle with self-awareness. I must actively seek feedback from my subordinates, peers, and leaders. This will ensure that I am not languishing under a false sense of how I am perceived. It will give me a better picture of who I am as a person and a leader. I will be more open to the feedback given and use it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
I found this assessment extremely useful since it helped me see my weaknesses and strengths clearer. Knowing what my strengths and weaknesses are helps me know what sort of emotions or habits I need to be careful of and what qualities I can improve and/or
Given this minimal evaluation baseline, the impact of the potential for self-evaluation can be studied by manipulating a participant's ac...
I found the results of my self-assessments to be a very insightful and accurate description of myself. The results of the learning styles test and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II are very valuable for examining my personality traits and learning style and making improvements as needed.
The first assessment I completed was very eye opening for me as a leader. As expected, my score for the overall potential of my leadership was on the higher end of the scale because of my background and amount of experience I have in leadership positions. This assessment portrayed a very accurate depiction of my overall leadership potential because I have always placed emphasis on being very good at what I do while working hard to not follow a path that did not work the first time.
Reflecting back on the course I would say that unit 3 and 4 was the most useful. Articulating Your Vision and Plan in unit 3 made me put everything into perspective on what is expected of me as professional and student of Capella University. Although I still struggle with APA formatting in text citation, I assert that with constructive feedback, exposure to APA, repetition with discussions and essays, it has helped my tremendously. I am more confidence of my writing and learning how to cite with fewer mistakes. Using, “The Publication Manual of American Psychological Association” and Purdue OWL as my guide for writing as been a great tool.
I can use this information in my classroom by having children that have a hard time expressing themselves use art as a way to express themselves. Not only if they have a hard time expressing themselves, but if they seem to be having a bad day and need time to themselves coloring utensils and paper can be giving to them to help calm them. Also these articles taught me what art really means. I thought of art as just a way to express yourself and be creative. The Fransisco Goya article taught me art is form and content. I can use this information to help teach my students creativity, confidence, problem solving, perseverance, focus, how to work with others, how to handle criticism and dedication.
When the word "self-assessment comes to mind one automatically thinks about what they can do to be a better person overall. People tend to analyze every part of their life just so that they can become the best at whatever they do, whether if it is from a personal or professional perspective. I apply self-assessment to my daily life duties. For example, my profession is an ongoing learning experience, each day I learn something new. In the beginning, there was a time frame when I challenged myself to have a better performance than I had the day before, I gave myself a self-assessment. Some tools that I utilized during this process were things such as, learning policy and procedure, training with my colleagues and preparing for a different situation everyday. I believe that me utilizing a method such as a self-assessment helped me improved in my personal and professional
During the Personal Assessment Unit, I learned a lot about myself. We completed work to find out our personal and work values first. Through this, I realized that money, fame, and power are my strongest personal values. This makes sense to me because I am very revolved around succeeding and love to earn a lot of money through working hard. This leads me to my work values, which came out to be independence, recognition, and achievement. This is reflected on my personal values as well, because I enjoy being recognized and succeeding, as previously mentioned. I would like to be able to find a career and spend the rest of my life in ways that fit well with my personal and work values, and I will make my decisions about my future,
At the beginning of the term, I preconceived that this Cornerstone Course would only be about how to get through college. When I settled into the class, I realized that it focuses more on getting to know ourselves better and how we can apply that to school and our everyday lives. Cornerstone has expanded my knowledge about myself as an individual. Although there were many topics that I found intriguing in this Cornerstone Class, there were two that really stood apart from the rest: the personality assessment and the time management segments. They were the two most relatable subjects.
After the self-assessment, now I feel confident about my qualities and how I need to deal with people with different personality having very differently thinking and how we can come to a common solution of any problem.
Well I guess I’ll start off this paper by being outright honest. I have never done this type of self-assessment exercise. So I’ll start this paper off with what exactly this type of self-assessment is. These types of self-assessments are meant to help show the individual (me) where my strengths lie and also where my weaknesses are as well so that I may try and lean on my strengths while improving on my own shortcomings. Essentially the Johari Window four regions model that we learned about is a great tool for this assessment. The first region is also known as the open area, which essentially means that this is what is known by the person about him/herself and is also know by others. The second region is known as the blind area in which this is information unknown by the individual but is known by others. Which could be behaviors that an individual does but does not realize that they are doing them. The third window is known as the hidden area. This area is essentially information that only you know about yourself and others do not. The fourth area is known as the unknown area. It’s known as that because this is information that you and others do not know about you. It’s when you take a look at these four areas and see your strengths and/or weaknesses are at and if you allow yourself to become open to feedback you then can improve on your own shortcomings and become a better leader.
My initial reaction to the self-assessment was that it seemed a little simplistic. Knowing that it was only 24 questions, it didn 't feel sufficient enough to be able to accurately determine the level and areas of intelligence that one would process. One aspect that I did find interesting was the ever-changing criteria between the four pages of questions. While one focused and how often the participant engaged in certain activities, another focused of the enjoyment gained from different activities, while yet another was based on how likely one was to engage in said activity. To simplify, this assessment attempted to determine the participants basic activities, the intensity of feeling toward activities, and their desire/willingness
