There doesn't seem to be clarification about what "competency" means in the context of competency based learning which makes it difficult to understand what competency based learning is exactly, and there doesn't seem to be clarification about the difference between mastery learning and competency based learning. Like is competency based learning just a rehash of mastery based learning? Or is it actually different?
Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post please advise where I should post- f20 just started a access course he in psychology for learn direct, I am rlly confused about referencing citing and bibliography please can someone help me understand what it is how to do it, my first proper assignment is a presentation I have a study materials provided by the access course but it also says I should research the area more widely, where can I research can it be any where? Do I have to reference everything I have ever read on psychology each assignment? Sorry I know I sound dumb please help me thanks
I never want to ask this question in first place.
But I recently saw a movie shorts where a girl with low score in her 12 standard studies for NEET exam to avoid quick marriage. But her new NEET group friends slowly moved away from that girl as she took long time to answer properly. Those friends sat in hidden garden areas or separate hidden study tables to avoid seeing the girl , so the NEET group friends can study to get high marks in their NEET final exam. the girl as single person sits alone , reads on her own and she got 53 percent when the girl thought she would only get 50 percent
By seeing that girl in movie shorts, I (27F) felt that I (27F) am seeing myself from my school and college time.
In my school and college times , I asked some topper students of my class to help me with some of my subjects. What the topper students said I still remember few, " I want to study alone" , " I do not have time. I need to study with my friends( who were toppers) " , " I have to have study for my exam. If I do not get high scores , my parents will scold me. " , etc.
The toppers study hard. Even some of my teachers tried to connect me with toppers. Some toppers did help me for one day and next day when I went to ask other doubts , the same toppers would say, " i forgot what I studied for yesterday. You read on your own."
Some teachers did have open talks with toppers to explain about the studies and sometimes those teachers did share about their life history with toppers. The same teachers would only say to me , " Focus on studies"
I am not jealous . I felt hurt.
What do you think about this? Is this normal?
Where I live, the education system is pathetic. Many are undereducated, and it might even be the norm. Lessons are usually useless information for a good chunk of the class has lots of stupid policies that limit one's potential and it just gets worse over time.
My son and I have been working on a free history learning game where students place events in chronological order. The idea is to make scattered historical facts feel more connected by prompting players to consider whether events occurred before or after one another. Cards can be clicked on to have narrated explanations of the content.
It now has 2,000+ cards across world history, science, medicine, technology, culture, and other topics. We’ve had some encouraging feedback from parents and teachers for middle school and high school students, but I’d really value more educator perspectives.
A few things I’m especially curious about:
The project is free, has no ads, and has no tracking. I made it, so this is self-promotion in that sense, but I’m posting to get feedback on classroom usefulness rather than to sell anything.
Link, if allowed: chunk.science
Just as the title says. I’ve been doing middle/high school physics, chemistry, biology and math for about little over 2 months now. Whenever I want to make sure I understand something or reassure myself I actually understand it, I’ll go to YouTube and read a little deeper.
Are there any alternatives I can use to learn outside of khan academyIf there aren’t any free ones, I don’t mind paying as long as the service is good and I can actually learn from it. All the STEM apps are “learn *certain topic* in a week!” which is obviously bull. So yeah, I’d just like to know of any alternatives so I’m not learning from just one site.
I saw this opportunity when I paid my registration and I decided to make a small donation. I know it's almost negligible in the grand scheme of things but it can somehow help.
I encourage fellow students to do the same if you are able. I'm 39 so my educational goals are different, and UoPeople gave me this amazing chance to accomplish a dream. Let's be the change we want to see.
Happy Term 5 everyone.
