Reflective journal-2 Athabasca University EDPY 389: Learning disabilities Course tutor: Karen Mayich Student Name: Chamandeep Sharma July 15, 2023

Unit 4- Educational Settings and the role of the family Part 1: Reflect By examining the learning goals The great majority of this information is something I know well. Most of it I learned in my own country while earning my bachelors in education, or I applied it while working as a substitute teacher. I've also worked as a programme coordinator for a non-profit organisation that supports children with disabilities in my home region.consequently, worked directly with families and helped them with their child's growth. by helping them set objectives, pointing them in the direction of local professional assistance, and just by being a listening ear.In the many educational settings or the spectrum of alternate placements, there are a few things that can be helpful as a reminder. I am aware of them, but I'm interested to understand whether there are any fresh concepts that I haven't encountered or applied before. Part 2: Set Goals 1. To understand new educational environments and how they might be applied to specific student requirements. 2. To understand the continuum of potential locations and the textbook's recommendations. 3. Discover how I can apply this material to my existing teaching job. 4. To understand how it may be applied in a regular classroom. Part 3: Summarize one of the topics provided in the learning outcomes. The continuum of alternative placements Beginning with the least restricted surroundings and ending with the most restrictive situations, the continuum of possible placements. The general education class is the first placement. Simply said, this is a typical classroom with a typical learning environment. The resource room would be the second. This is for pupils who are taken out of a general education class and spend between 20 and 60 percent of their day there. This might mean that they have a resource room instructor for their language or maths lessons while the rest of the class is in the regular classroom.Third, distinct classes occur when the student spends between 60 and 100 percent of his time learning in a different classroom. Fourth, separate schools are for pupils who attend an alternative school for 50% or more of the school day. Fifth, residential facilities are for students who get more than 50% of their instruction from private or public residential institutions. For kids who get their special education through a homebound or hospitalised programme, homebound or hospital settings are available.

Part 4: Demonstrate Learning This course has given me a wonderful overview of material that I already know. I am having trouble with the course material since it is very introductory and I find that I already know much of it or use it frequently in my career. However, it is helpful to have a second opinion on existing views or convictions. A review of co- teaching was one topic that was interesting to read about. In order to develop the collaborative response model in our district, one of the things I've been working on with Jigsaw Learning is co-teaching. It was therefore satisfying to confirm that knowledge because it is crucial to the work I am performing for the school system. Unit 5 - Theories of Learning Part 1: Reflect After looking at the unit's learning goals, it appears that the unit is essentially an overview of an introductory educational psychology course. All of these are subjects that I have previously studied. There is, however, always more to discover. I'm very interested in the many methods of teaching learning techniques. Part 2: Set Goals 1. to get knowledge of innovative methods for teaching learning processes. 2. Determine how I'll use these ideas in the classroom. Part 3: Summarize one of the topics provided in the learning outcomes. Role of theories in learning In many fields, theories are employed to further our understanding of the topic at hand. In this situation, theories assist us in understanding more about how kids learn and how to modify education to better support them. Theories should evolve throughout time. They are not unchangeable. With further study on the issue, they may be improved and changed throughout time. As society develops and our knowledge of the world deepens, theories should alter throughout time. The theory is intended to serve as a framework, source of clarification, or starting point for further investigation. Generally, theories build upon one another and are simply modified in response to new data or results. There are three main psychological theories to consider while examining the topic of learning impairments.The three of them are cognitive psychology, behavioural psychology, and developmental psychology. 1.Cognitive psychology involves the study of internal mental processes—all of the workings inside your brain, including perception, thinking, memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and learning.

2.Behavioural psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on how human behaviours are acquired, changed and influenced by environment. 3.Developmental psychology is the scientific study of how humans grow, change, and adapt across the course of their lives. Part 4: Demonstrate Learning I have gained knowledge of the three main inclusive education theories and their significance for the field during this unit. This, in my opinion, is crucial since it helps put the other facts you've learned into context. It clarifies the rationale for our attempts at innovation or our pursuit of novel teaching techniques. A summary of Jean Piaget's views concerning developmental psychology proved helpful. That name hasn't shown up in my head in perhaps 10 years. It serves as a wonderful reminder of how children and people evolve more precisely in terms of their education. Overall, I thought this unit was really educational and useful. Now that I’ve learned more about the many needs and limitations that children may encounter, I can better serve them in the classroom. I now have a better understanding of numerous strategies and tactics for helping kids in the classroom. Finally, I now want to use the information I learned from this lesson to make my classroom a warm and supportive place for all kids to study. Unit 6- Social, emotional and Behavioural challenges Part 1: Reflect I really enjoyed to learn about supporting children and youth with emotional and behavioural disorders.I also have a genuine interest in learning about student mental health and have attended a respectable number of professional development workshops on the subject.However, I would want to use the information in this unit to review my previous school year as a teacher. In my classroom, I had to deal with two children who had some very significant mental health issues, and I'd want to reflect on how this was handled. not just by myself, but also by the institution and the district. Part 2: Set Goals 1. To find new strategies that I can reflect on and use in my practice. 2. To learn about different educational settings and how they can be used for particular student needs. Part 3: Summarize one of the topics provided in the learning outcomes.

How emotional challenges interfere with academic learning Emotional difficulties can take many different forms. Examples mentioned in the book include anxiety, despair, and a lack of resilience. Sincerity be damned, here is a fairly general description of the numerous emotional difficulties that our pupils encounter. Depression may be viewed as a compliant unhappy sensation. This could be the result of a number of factors, including events that take place within or outside of school. Another reason for it can be a physiological condition.Lack of interest in companions, trouble concentrating, or a sense of powerlessness are a few symptoms of depression. If not addressed appropriately, this could trigger suicidal thoughts. Lack of durability is frequently correlated with one's sense of value. This can often be attributed to persistent failures or the fact that some people find it harder to persevere than others. Students who struggle with resiliency may need extra assistance or encouragement from their instructors and peers. Studies in educational psychology frequently focus on anxiety because of the widespread belief that teenage anxiety rates are rising. Students that are anxious may skip class, pay less attention, or be disorganised. Anxiety must be addressed appropriately since, if left unattended, it might result in panic attacks. Part 4: Demonstrate Learning There is a lot of significant information in this unit. I wish there were more chances for professional development (PD) for teachers to gain knowledge of the numerous factors that affect students' mental health. I prefer to utilise this knowledge as reminders to keep it fresh in my memory for usage when necessary. Sincerely, I think that students should take a course on student mental health and how it affects learning as part of their BEd programme.
