Group Dynamics - Finals

Learning entails self-involvement, and that makes it ___________.

__________ is a written output that provides a framework in which the inductive process is facilitated.

__________ is also known as reflective observation.

Discussing the experiences that the participants have had already or sharing reactions and observations of the activity provided.

Persons learn continuously, whether child, teen, or adult. However, each person has preferences about how they learn. __________ (1976) calls these learning style preferences, which correspond to the steps of the adult learning cycle.

These are the four phases in Adult Learning Cycle.

Using the experiences that the participants have had already or providing them with an experience that furthers learning.

Finding general trends and truths in the experiences that the participants have had already or forming reactions to new experiences into conclusions, new concepts and theories.

Modifying old behaviors or testing new behaviors and practicing them in everyday situations.

These are the five steps in Experiential Learning Cycle.

The steps in the experiential learning cycle cannot be abridged just because an individual prefers one particular approach to learning. If effective and lasting learning is to occur, the experiential learning cycle must be ___________.

Experiential learning, a phrase used interchangeably with _________, underscores an oft-repeated saying that life is a continuing process of learning.

This processing of experience can be seen in the steps in the inductive method which are:

In planning for an experiential learning, we come up with a ______________.

The SLE has the following parts:

Modern learning theory stresses the ________ of giving to learners some degree of ownership of the content learned. As such, facilitators capitalize on the desire of the learners to incorporate their previous experiences into the learning process.

___________ has developed a duo-dimensional schematic diagram that considers the activity levels and content controls of both the learners and the facilitator/trainer.

In the center of the duo-dimensional list of methods is the ____________, a property of all learning and training activities.

The learning activities, or specific methods such as lecture, structured discussion, traditional case method, and hot role plays are situated in the continuum in order of __________ involvement by the learners and the ___________ of control by the facilitator/trainer.

When the facilitator ___________ control of the content, that does not mean withdrawing control of the processes. In a case method, the learner gives all the cases and examples, but the facilitator leads the discussion.

The control of the more participative methods tends to come from the _______ of the activity rather than from active participation by the trainer during the learning session. In these participative methods, the facilitator/trainer sets the structures, gives the instructions, observes and monitors, and stays available for questions.

___________ means experiential, supervised, in-depth learning experiences that are designed to offer students the opportunity to more fully explore career interests within one or more of the Career Clusters, Career education and Counseling.

are designed as rigorous activities that are integrated into the curriculum and that provide students with opportunities to demonstrate and apply a high level of academic attainment; develop career goals; and develop personal/social goals.

____________ and _________, these are two big words for us, facilitators.

Tips in running a Structured Learning Experience (SLE).

• It is an adult learning theory.

• Focuses on discovery and control.

• Adults are to be motivated to learn about what will help them overcome their daily challenges.

• There will not be any learner resistance if participants are learning what they believed they needed.

• The instructor approaches training as a facilitator or guide instead of a dictator.

• self-directed learner

• larger amount of life experiences

• learning needs closely related to social roles

• problem-centered

• intrinsically motivated

• learner dependent on decision of teacher

• few life experiences

• learning needs are dictated by the teacher

• subject/content centered

• extrinsically motivated

Clear perception of needs during the SLE:

____________ is a great deal of the exchanges and discussions among facilitators during and after a training program focus on how things are going, how the session went, how the participants are doing, or on any of innumerable other points regarding the conduct of the whole program.

In _________, responses can run an entire spectrum.

The processes that will determine the value or the importance of the program to the participants, as well as to the organizers, are referred to as ___________________.

To gain information is the main purpose of _________, not only about whether and to what extent the program is achieving its goals, but also about whether the goals are themselves worth achieving.

Evaluation procedures are either ________ or __________ or a combination of both.

___________, also known as terminal evaluation, measures its object against an absolute norm, a definite standard of excellence.

A typical example of this type of evaluation would be a quiz in Math: the examinee's responses are measured against absolutely correct answers.

___________________, on the other hand, looks more to descriptive data. It measures observed outcomes against intended outcomes.

An example of a formative instrument is the behaviorally anchored rating scale developed by _________ (1966), which assesses a described behavior in terms, for instance, of the frequency of its occurrence.

The formative style of evaluation, also known as ______________, is more consistent with the inductive method, as well as with the philosophy of the group-centered leaders.

The preferred type of evaluation of the group-centered leader or facilitator is ___________ in approach.

The preferred style of instrument administration of the group-centered leader is ___________, a self-peer-direct reports-leader assessment. This is also known as the Multisource or 360-degree evaluation system.

Judgment of the strengths & weaknesses of instruction in the developing stage.

Measuring the extent to which the outcomes of a course are attained at the end of course.

_____________ is the process of sharing our ideas, thoughts, and feelings with other people and having those ideas, thoughts, and feelings understood by the people we are talking with.

The process of communication involved in personal relationships, which may include friends, family, and a romantic partner.

Verbal and nonverbal aspects of how messages are conveyed that provide information about the relationship between speaker and addressee(s)

A subset of interpersonal communication — a field which focuses on the study of verbal and nonverbal communication in personal relationships.

______________ is crucial to maintaining social bonds and interpersonal relationships.

Examples of Verbal Communication

________________ is the transmission of messages or signals through a nonverbal platform such as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture, and the distance between two individuals.

Examples of Non-Verbal Communication

I care about myself, I care about you

I don't care about myself, I don't care about you

I care about myself, I don't care about you

I don't care about myself, I care about you
