I am Hubert Were, a Kenyan by birth and a finalist at UoPeople taking three courses in the current term. In this course, PHIL 1402 Quality Management, I look forward to achieving fundamental skills and knowledge in inquiring and critical thinking to help me better run a business that meets customer requirements in a motivated environment.
LEARNING JOURNAL ACTIVITIES
a) How helpful is the instructor being? How could the instructor be more helpful?
The instructor is a great energizer for the group. He gives alternative approaches to acquisition of knowledge. For instance, he guided me on how to answer questions in a different way in the learning journal by expressing peers dialogue in form of a play/drama.
b) Group Interaction - How is the group interacting? Are we a cohesive bunch? Are we doing our work?
The group is mutually interactive in a respectful manner and observing the code of ethics governing virtual learning environment. The peers have strong team work and passion in doing course work.
c) Did I contribute significantly to the discussion? What was my single most important contribution to the discussion? Why?
I did contribute significantly to the discussion forum by responding to the questions. My most important contribution was on Kant’s epistemology which showed that ideas constitute our experience. This translates to the knowledge we have from UoPeople to be our experience.
d) What would I change about the way things are going right now? Is there enough order/structure to what we are doing, or are things a bit too anarchic for my taste?
Things are not very okay as I expected especially in the graded quizzes. The marks are low. I need to pull up my socks since I have no excuse for there is adequate order in...

  • Formative Assessment Probe

    962 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Ms. Hall’s seventh period ESL freshman biology class I chose to do a write around or pass a question formative assessment probe. I came up with three different questions and printed each one on an individual sheet of paper. The three questions were; 1. What is one thing you were surprised to learn about the past few weeks about genetics, what is one thing you wish you could learn more about related to genetics, what was the hardest topic for you to learn or that you are still confused about? I started the class by talking about what the purpose of the write around activity was. I informed them that this activity was an opportunity for them to reflect and talk about the lesson they were working on and also an opportunity for me to read about what students thought about their genetics unit. I placed students into groups of three and then asked them to read the first question and take 2 minutes to write as much as they could about the question at hand. If students were confused at the question at all I encouraged them to ask me about their confusion or ways in which to respond. After the 2 minute time slot students then passed that question to and the next person would spend 2 minutes to respond to the previous person’s comments or respond to that new question as well. This was repeated one more time so each student had an opportunity to respond to each question prompt. The classroom consist of 17 students whose first language is not English. Primary languages of the students in the class consist of Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Polish.

    The student assessment that I choose for my students to complete in my geometry class was to write in their personal journals. By writing in a personal journal and reflecting on the lesson they learned, I will be “Activating students as the owners of their learning.” (William, 2007) After each lesson, usually at the last 5 to 10 minutes of each class period, I had my students write in their personal journal of what they learned and what information they were not completely sure of. At the end of the class as my students leave, I will hold on to their journal and look through a few of them to see what they understood and what they still need help with in understanding. The students will have three questions they can answer on their journal entries, they are:

  • Feedback Reflection

    519 Words  | 2 Pages

    Following attending the class room teaching session, I learned about the assessment and feedback from In Black et al[6] “working inside the black box”, which has ways of assessment in questioning, grading, clicking, peer assessment, feedback and self-assessment. A few questions such as what are the effects on learning, what do we mean by assessment using SMART outcome were mentioned. Silverman et al has described a new way of giving feedback—called agenda-led the outcomes-based analysis [7]. In this method, we should establish the learners' agenda and try to understand what problems they had experienced, and facilitate with time frame and outcome. Next you encourage them to solve the problems and then get the trainer and eventually get the whole group involved. Feedback should be descriptive rather than judgmental and should also be balanced and objective. Pendleton's rules are rules that help trainers give balanced feedback to trainees. [8]These give positive feedback to learners and teachers first and then say what they could have done better. Chowdhury R.R& Kalu G (2004) [9] menti...

  • Assessment Reflection

    969 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I reflect on my past assessment process, I realized how much my assessments have changed over the years. In my early years, I used tests for informational recall as my assessments. I felt these were appropriate guidelines in which I needed to follow in order to substantiate a student’s grade. Every assignment or tests was given a point value and then based on the amount of points, a grade was given. Every student’s assessment was exactly the same, and the assessments did not contain any subjectivity. I felt confident in giving the grade based on a valid point system. However reflecting back, I see that I did not include any performance-based assessments or individual learning styles in my early assessment. I also did not take into consideration the individual needs of my students. My assessment approach was awful. I am embarrassed that I use to assess students in this manner.
