Reflective learner mind map





Here is my mind map on "Reflective Learning". Watch out for my next post!

Reflective learner

As a university student i thought it would be of benefit to me to understand what a reflective learner was, and how to become one. Before i researched the term "reflective learner" i defined the term just from what i could gather from my knowledge. I figured that a reflective learner would be someone who after being taught, reviewed their work and tried to get a deeper understanding of the issue or topic. 

After researching to find out the actual definition of a reflective learner i realized there was a lot more to it than just looking back over the work that was given. I found that many universities informed students on their websites about being a reflective learner, and there were many hints, tips and guides on how to become one.


I will create a mind map and post it on the blog for anyone else who is interested in being a reflective learner, Keep watching for more random and unique blog posts!

Unique

I want my blog to be unique. So when i was asked to research cars, i altered the task slighty.

I was given the topic of cars to research.  I don't really have much knowledge on cars so to make the task more interesting I focused on a particular car that I would like to drive and own. The car I would like to drive is an Audi TT rs. I like the Audi TT rs because it has a nice rounded shape to it - I hate cars that are square! .The Audi TT rs is a very fast car and it would be my  dream car to own. Preferably if i owned an Audi TT rs i would want the car to be white, although I would have to wash the car on a very regular basis.




Me

Well here i am, sitting in uni trying to figure out what i'm supposed to be writing about . Haven't got a clue. It's been a long and pleasant journey to get where i am today. I attended a Welsh Primary School in Port Talbot called Rhosafan, and i enjoyed it thoroughly, so much that i decided that i was going to become a teacher myself. So throughout comp i tried my very hardest to achieve good grades, i sat my welsh GCSE in year 9 and left school with 10 GCSE's altogether.

In college i tried to choose subjects that would be of use to me as well as enjoyable. Psychology seemed interesting until i sat a class test and got graded with a U. I completed a Welsh A-Level as well as a Religious Studies and a Communication and Culture A-Level. I also Completed the Welsh Baccalaureate and received a place in Swansea Metropolitan where i am now.

Hopefully IF i graduate i will become a Welsh primary school teacher. With all the work we have to do, it seems to be getting further away! Hopefully i will graduate this course first attempt unlike my college courses.  Watch out for my next blog!
