Reasoning Aptitude
The career plan building activity: reasoning aptitude helped me realize my strengths and opportunities. The results in the strength category were lower than I thought they would be. I scored the highest on adapting to change and that was the one that I felt I would have scored the lowest because I do not do very well with change unless I am prepared for the changes beforehand. When it came to researching, taking initiative, being innovative, organizing, and delivering results, I score 3 out of 5 possible points. I felt that with organizing and taking initiative, I would have had a higher score because I organize everything and I tend to take the initiative in a lot of situations at work, with school, and in my personal life.
I was somewhat taken aback with the opportunities part of my results. I did not score as high as I would have liked to score in this section. I scored the lowest in presenting. I scored a 1 out of 5 and I did agree with that because presenting is not one of my strongest things to do although I know I have to work on that as much as possible. I did think that coping with pressure could have been higher but I scored a 2 out of 5 on that. On goal focus, I scored a 2 out of 5 and that made me feel horrible because I have set goals for myself and sometimes I push my goals to the back of my list to accommodate my life or help other people with their goals.
This activity helped me realize my strengths and weaknesses within every aspect of my life. I have many things to work on before I open my childcare facility. I hope that in the future I can take this career plan building activity again and see better results in my reasoning aptitude.

    By doing this self-assessment I learned about my strengths. I was aware that I accept full responsibility for my actions and results of my life. Since I was a little girl, my mother bestowed in me that, “Life is nothing but the result of the choices you make.” I know that my destiny is counting on me. I know what motivates me and what choices hinder my success. Choosing between the two is the challenge; I call that self-warfare. I believed that I scored high in: accepting personal responsibility, discovering self-motivation, and adopting lifelong learning. I feel really good about my strengths.…

    Research in verbal learning has as a goal the way in which people gain and retain knowledge of symbolic representation or stimuli of objects or events and the relationships among them (Tulving & Madigan, 1970). Research in verbal learning follows the work of Herman Ebbinghaus who identified verbal learning methods still used today.

The concept of mnemonics in the recall of verbal stimuli will also be examined (Terry, 2009).…

    “Self-directed learning is a continuous engagement in acquiring, applying and creating knowledge and skills in the context of an individual learner’s unique problems. Effectively supporting self-directed learning is one of the critical challenges in supporting lifelong learning. Self-directed learning creates new challenging requirements for learning technologies. Domain-oriented design environments address these challenges by allowing learners to engage in their own problems, by providing contextualized support, and by exploiting breakdowns as opportunities for learning.
