Advising Approach Name Learning-Centered Advising
Description
Learning-Centered is having the central value of the advisor be placed on the student’s learning process. This allows the students to understand how and why their specific courses interconnect, making them better students overall. The following excerpt, from Lowenstein’s (2009) research, is a great formal definition:
“The college student has the task of creating meaning out of her or his learning, or alternatively, of creating a curriculum, or an education out of the raw materials of the various courses that she or he takes. This task is accomplished by building an edifice in which the various components are related to each other in the various ways described. Each student will have a unique curricular structure; even two students who take the same set of courses may have different educations because they may relate the component courses in different ways.”
Lowenstein, M. m. (2009).
What is one theory that influenced the development of the approach and how the theory helps describe behaviors William Perry 's Theory of Intellectual and Ethical Development
This theory has three sections that evolve overtime, as students learn to answer their own questions and/or seek answers. The advisor’s role in learning-centered advising revolves around helping connect the dots, so the student can progress further.
Other factors that influenced the development of
He writes about how college was once a place to learn and educate yourself further. The audience can relate and agree with how college is now a place to help you get a good job and there is a bigger focus of getting a job after you graduate than it is on learning. Society also plays a big role in college as well. He explains that students are usually pushed toward a college classroom. These are all factors that put students who do not belong in college in college.
More people than ever before are attending college due to the endless opportunities that it provides. Louis Menand, a college professor and the author of “Live and Learn: Why We Have College,” explains the meaning of college through three theories that have been developed. Theory 1 supports the idea of the sorting-out process that separates the highly intelligent from the less intelligent. Menand’s second theory explains that college provides opportunities for developmental growth, personal growth, and teaches individuals about the world around us. These are valuable lessons that will not be learned anywhere else. Theory three supports the idea of people attending college to specialize in a specific vocation. I
College students are newcomers and beginners to the world of being adults. We are trying to become our own people and have our own individuality to help us throughout our lives. College is where we begin to face some hardships to help us along the way. On page 328, paragraph 2, Culpepper states, “being a
He is explaining, that college is supposed to be there to be the birthplace of any one person’s knowledge, even though men have a natural-born determination to be more intelligent, they are usually the last to actually achieve their higher goals because of the obstacles and delays and whatever else may be in the way as well. Through all of that, it has opened up the any one person’s mind to endless possibilities.
To understand behaviour is very important when it comes to psychology. Behaviour is what makes psychologist understand people. Behaviour is influenced by a variety of different factors (Grieve, Van Deventer, & Mojapelo-Batka, 2005). Some of these factors are within the individual as well as in the environment. People need to be examined by lots of perspectives, or on different levels so that psychologists are able to understand why people behave the way they do (Grieve et al., 2005). Different theories have different perspectives on looking at behaviour, generally known as approaches. This essay will be looking at the following: approaches of neuroscience, psychodynamics, behaviourism, and cognition. To compare the different perspectives of which psychologists use to examine behaviour as well as mental processes.
The second of the four big ideas is: the biopsychosocial approach. This approach involves how we view human behavior. Human behavior is split into three categories: biological, psychological, and socio-cultural. Biological behavior is the behaviors and genes that we inherit, for example eye color, skin color, height, etc. Psychological behavior is the study of the behaviors between the mind and the body. This type of behavior helps people learn why humans behave the way they do and what patterns, if any, can be found in those behaviors. For example, psychological behavior might be used to study why someone bites their nails when nervous or pulls out their hair when afraid. The last type of behavior is socio-cultural. Socio-cultural
Learner is defined on the VT strengths site as having a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. Laws and the economy are constantly changing. To deliver the best service to a client, an advisor must continue their education well beyond college. Also, there are new discoveries everyday on improving your practice. This can range from better management of your employees to updating your model. A business and clients are in good hands if the advisor desires to continue their
There are several aspects that would describe a self-directed, intrinsically motivated, active learner, such as those who are curious and persistent about acquiring knowledge. Most of the time, people who are curious take initiative to seek higher education and accept the responsibilities that come with studying and test taking to acquire the knowledge they seek. Those who accept the responsibility of learning a new skill takes the initiative to organize their time to dedicate to that education and set a pace to reach their end goal for the educational structure. By using basic learning skills, self-directed learners look at problems as challenges and embrace the mindset of self-growth. Self-directed learners are self-reliant and enjoy learning on a regular basis.
Both theories were developed under the premise that our childhood experiences contribute to our behaviors, lens of perspective,
In The Curriculum and College Life: Confronting Unfulfilled Promises, Leon Botstein discusses the movement of the focus of higher education from the curricular to extracurricular. He states that lack of emphasis on some curricular based things, such as faculty involvement, has been detrimental to students and their development. Grainger, on the other hand, begs to differ. He attacks Botstein’s argument, as he believes that the extracurricular aspect of higher education is in fact more important to the maturation of the college student than the curricular.
p.274). This model changes the structure of college campuses by equipping students with residence halls, advisement, and learning centers. This new thirteenth-century model provided a safe haven for students during the time of rioting between town and gown (Schuh et al., 2011). The main focus before this model was only the “life of the mind,” which was defined as educating only the mind of the student to learn their lesson; instead of teaching students about social and moral development. Compared to today’s system in higher education, this historical model has stood the test of time. Higher education institutions are perfecting their residence halls or mentoring classrooms to empower the whole student. Colleges and universities are developing numerous extra-curricular activities for students that help foster their character and emotional development. According to Nicotra and Patel (2016) “higher education intuitions around the world have focused on embedding graduate outcomes that characterized the idea of educating and developing a good citizen and not just another student”
Graduating college can be one of the best investments any individual can venture in. When one looks at the benefits, students are driven and motivated to complete their college career, in order to obtain their degree. The benefits are apparent: students who graduate have greater annual earnings, lower poverty rate, the likelihood of being employed is higher, one is able to retire earlier, and the chance of being healthy and happy are greater. It is obvious, college dramatically changes one’s life for the best. Although, college does not come easy to all students, and every student has a different experience. It is the chancellor 's role to make each student’s experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible, guaranteeing support and resources for students in college campuses.
The social aspect of the theory stems from the assumption that behavior is learned through this direct process of conditioning, observation and experience results
The best theory to explain the case study by Dr. Mark Le Fevre, is the Behavioural approach of the Ohio State Studies as it describes
behavior development. The major critique on this theory is that this theory is more focused on
