PSY 620 WEEK 6 DISCUSSION
Discussion
Your initial
discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday)
to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your
initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum
Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your
discussion will be evaluated.
Professional Development: Learning in the Workplace |
Prior to
beginning this discussion, read the following required articles:
·
“Organizational Learning in
Target Setting”
·
“Organizational Learning and
Learning Organizations: An Integrative Framework”
·
“Improving Organizational
Learning Through Leadership Training”
·
“Systematic Professional
Development Training and Its Impact on Teachers’ Attitudes Toward ELLs: SIOP
and Guided Coaching”
·
“Review of Organizational
Resilience: How Learning Sustains Organizations in Crisis, Disaster, and
Breakdowns”
For this
discussion, you will be focusing on your self-development and your learning
experiences in the context of the workplace. In your initial post, apply basic
research methods and the alignment of content within research to the questions
below by making connections between your personal experiences and the content
from the readings. You might also utilize other peer-reviewed articles of
interest to you to support your assertions and conclusions. Analyze how your
personal development in the learning and cognition domains have matured and
developed through your formative years and work experiences. Your writing should
not simply answer each question; a fully developed personal analysis of your
own growth and learning processes should be concise and well organized in a
manner that exhibits your improved writing ability and reflects APA style
format.
In addition to
answering the questions below, include an introduction and conclusion to your
post.
·
What types of training and
education have you received in the workplace?
·
What do you do now that differs
from your past educational learning experiences?
·
How have your life experiences
affected your learning?
·
Have events in your life
influenced your beliefs and how you assert yourself in the learning process?
·
How do you see yourself as a
life-long learner?
Next, consider
how organizational learning and culture affect you personally and apply
skeptical inquiry to the resolution of problems related to your own learning
and cognition. How might you adjust your current strategies? Finally, apply
ethical principles and professional standards of learning and cognition
psychology that you have learned about to teaching or counseling others in the
workplace. What implications should you consider when working with others?
This discussion
should be approximately 500 words in length and should establish your
understanding of the content, apply appropriate methods of ethical practices,
and exhibit appropriate scaffolding of personal experience to the week’s
content.
Guided Response: Review several of your
colleague’s posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on
Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in
the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse. Continue to monitor
the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of
the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post. Peer responses
may vary in length but should be detailed and thought provoking. Your grade
will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your
responses.
Did your peer choose differing areas of interest? Does your
peer’s explanation of the theoretical perspectives assist you in understanding
the content more clearly? Share a personal experience that aligns with one of
your peer’s perspectives or explanations about learning and reading
acquisition.
