YVETTE CABRERA ANALYSIS OF WELTANSCHAUUNG OUR EARLY TEMPLATE EDDC605 WEEK1

Being a parent transformed me in unexpected ways. I found myself wanting to provide for my daughter and later my son the same security and benefits my parents had provided for me. I found a job at University Children’s Center. UCC provides care for children from the ages of 6 weeks to 6 years and I wanted to be close to my children. I worked with all the age groups but found my niche in the infant program. I enjoyed the close bonds I was able to form with both the babies and their families. I took great pride in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I took classes to become Infant Nursery Room Supervisor. Once again, I excelled in my studies and enjoyed the learning process. Bringing the information I learned into the classroom was

Transformative learning is basically changing the way one thinks, feels, acts, and sees life now, as opposed to the past. It can have a small or huge impact on the way they see different aspects of their life. The four stages of the transformative learning process are: Recognizing a specific problem – this is when one would decide if there is a need for change. They would recognize that there is a problem and specifically what it is. Confronting the problem intensely – They would then avoid apprehension and immediately confront the problem, while remembering to consider all possible solutions.

This notion again connects to the idea of searching for reality and to communicate within self. Education must teach young individuals to constantly be critical of self, and to communicate within their self-conscious in order to understand that everything that they do is not for themselves, or for the sake of others, but to serve something greater than us. At this point, however, individuals must understand that to some extent, there will always be failure. Humans are not born to be perfect, and therefore there is constant conflict between the ideal image and self. However, by being conscious that they are born to continuously follow the image of the ideal, it serves as a reason to be a better and greater person. In today’s society it is harder to teach young individuals of their consciousness because the world is ever evolving rapidly and these individuals are becoming a mechanism to serve the ideal of the society. It is important to teach with combination of freedom of thoughts and expression so that they are able to freely express and formulate their purpose. Giving freedom of thoughts could be risky, but by continuously developing one’s ideal with consistency, an individual is able to develop faith in reality and their self-conscious thoughts as well, so that they are able to effectively work on their

I have three children, Danielle, Greg and Dean; I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom till Dean went to Kindergarten. These years were the best time of my life, being home fulltime with my children. After helping Danielle, Greg and Dean; graduate from college, it is now my time. College takes a lot of time and

Transformational Learning consist of four stages which are, “recognizing a significant problem; confronting it intensely; finding a solution; and integrating a new prospective” (R-Model, 2010, p.115). When making any major life transition you will probably use transformational learning. You will first recognize that there is a problem or that there is something in your life that you would like to change. Second, you will need to confront the problem. You will need to do so with great intensity, so that you may find a solution. Once you have gone through the third stage to find your solution, you will then start to integrate that solution into your life. Transformational learning is something that everyone will go through at some point

This section of the monograph provides a brief overview of transformative learning theory from the perspective of Jack Mezirow. Also discussed are the conditions that need to be present, from his perspective, to foster transformative learning. Its intent is to provide a synthesis of its major premises, not an exhaustive discussion, that includes enough information from which to understand the implications and insights gained from discussing the various unresolved issues about transformative learning theory. This overview is followed by two alternative perspectives of transformative learning: Boyd’(transformative education) and Freire’(social transfors s mation) that contribute to our

I to realize that I had to go to college to get that college educational experience in order to communicate with my children and to be able to share my college experience with them, so as I started college I kept on pushing it was not easy but I finished and graduate my children was proud of me and It was a proud moment in my life as I walk across the stage to received my

Before we began to build our family, my husband and I were both working full time jobs at an upwards of 60 hours a week. This was practical at the time, but I knew I could not continue to do so with an infant. This led me to leave my job of 3 years just before giving birth. After a few months, I debated long and hard on returning to work. After very careful consideration, I decided the best thing to do for everyone would be for me to stay home. I knew that being a stay at home mom would be hard. More importantly, I also knew that my daughter needed me to be there for her. It helped me learn that the plan you may have for yourself may not be the best plan for everyone else; being able to compromise for loved ones is always important.

Before I had a child I was not worried as much about school, made worse grades, and did childish things. So even if I could go back and change anything I wouldn’t for me having a child was the best thing that has happened to me. I am proud of the decision I made even though it helped me, some people it may not change in the way it did me. So to all the other teen parents that are, put down and talked about you can accomplish ever challenge thrown at you as long as you try, and don’t give

One example of unconscious learning from experiences in my childhood is the idea that punishment promotes better behavior. As a child when I misbehaved or acted out I was punished or spanked and told never to do it again. Through this I unconsciously learned that punishment was a necessary behavior modification tool that needed to be utilized with adults and children.

I’m still playing mom for my little brother, and it’s extremely difficult. He’s special needs so he needs more than a “regular” child. My patience often wears thin, but I’ve learned to grit my teeth and smile anyways. Although I won’t have children any time soon, this has taught me several lessons. It has taught me that responsibility does not come easy. It has taught me that having a child is not an easy thing, either. It has taught me how to get a little bit better of a grip on my anger, along with my anxiety. These are all valuable lessons that I am glad to have

As a young girl I had a love of learning and a thirst for knowledge, which unfortunately waned as I entered my teen years. While attending Jenks High School, I met a young man who was to become my future husband. Like many young girls; I dreamt of getting married, becoming a mom, and starting a family. The need for a good education became increasingly unnecessary in my young, naive mind; after all, I was going to be a stay at home wife and mother, marrying a man that came from a family experiencing incredible financial success. So with all the wisdom of a seventeen year old girl, I made the decision to drop out of high school and get married, giving birth to my daughter almost two months after my eighteenth birthday. As we all know, in real life, there are rarely fairytale happy endings and no, we did not live happily ever after.

In the short time that I have been a mother I have learned many things. I have realized that every day is a learning experience. I have taken the mistakes that I have made and learned from them. My children have pushed me to strive for

I am now twenty five years old and I have a seven year old daughter. I was a teenager when I had her, barely more than a child myself. When you are that young, you are supposed to be figuring out what you want to make of your life. You are supposed to be thinking about whether you want to go to college and what you want to study. It is the time in your life when you are supposed to be taking the first steps towards adulthood. However, when you become a mother or a father, you have to completely reprioritize your life. You are no longer living for you or thinking about what is best for you. Instead, your life becomes all about the
