Explore the Value of Experiential Learning: The Second Time Around

Learning and Development is a theme that interest me, therefore when handed our HRM course structure at the beginning of term I quickly decided on that theme out of the 10 on offer. We learnt that we were to present and write a paper on a chosen topic within that theme. Choosing a topic proved difficult because I did not know what any of the topics meant and as deadline day loomed I was still undecided. Subsequently the topic was chosen for me by a classmate, I was happy about this because I felt decision is made, I will work with what topic I have been assigned. Reflecting on this moment I realise that I was not engaging with the opportunities and possibilities that come from education. I did not take responsibility for my own learning, also I was not thinking ahead which is important when undertaking a degree course. This knowledge is essential to me as a learner because it teaches me to become more engaged on issues that are ultimately going to affect me at a later stage.
Beginning
I had wonderful intentions to begin my paper

    Almost Human - Essay

    • 2181 Words
    • 9 Pages

    The study of the origin of humans and the journey of our evolution is a diverse and dynamic field that can be approached in many ways. Shirley Strum chose to examine primate behavior with the hope that it would illuminate the challenges early humans may have encountered and the possible solutions and adaptations they experienced in order to survive. In this essay I will outline the central findings as expressed in Strum’s book, Almost Human: A Journey into the World of Baboons, and connect her conclusions to information gathered throughout this course. Strum’s ground-breaking evidence of socially intelligent, minimally aggressive, female-centered baboon societies not only gives a glimpse into the lives of primates and the possible landscape for the evolution of man, but the controversy surrounding primate behavior studies illuminates characteristics of our society today and the world of academia.…

    What is reflective practice? In short, it’s a practice that helps you become an active learner. Many of us, including myself, may be considered or interpreted as passive learners. Passive learning goes a bit like this: we read textbooks, we follow everything our instructor or teacher tells us (sometimes we tune out), we write exams and then…we forget what we learned. It’s common and though not everybody goes through this, historically, it happens more often than not. However, with active learning we engage in conversations with our classmates and teacher, we ask questions, we figure out answers, we contribute and learn and teach each other. And ultimately, we engage with ourselves (and seldom tune out as a result). Oxford dictionary defines reflection as “a serious thought or consideration…an idea about something, especially one that is written down and expressed”. Reflective practice facilitates coping. From a personal perspective it is different for each of us like writing personal journals or talking on the phone with family/friends. From a professional perspective this is usually mores structured like when we complete our weekly log after a clinical day and reflect on what occurred during our time on the unit and reflect on a single moment and how we felt about it.…

    This paper examines the influence of cultural and socioeconomic factors on the growth of enterpreneurship in Vietnam. Traditional cultural values continue to have a strong impact on the Vietnamese society, and to a large extent adversely affect the entrepreneurial spirit of the community. Typical constraints private entrepreneurs face may have roots in the cultural facet as legacy of the Confucian society like relationship-based bank credit. Low quality business education is both a victim and culprit of the long-standing tradition that looks down on the role of private entrepreneurship in the country.…
