Study Notes

Metacognition and Learner-Centered Approaches

  • Metacognition is the awareness and understanding of one's thought processes, including self-regulation of cognition (planning, monitoring, and evaluating).
  • Learner-centered approaches emphasize student's active role in learning, using strategies like cooperative learning, peer review, debating, and role-playing.
  • These learner-centered methods prioritize learner experiences and knowledge.
  • Student-centered learning (SCL) connects learning to students' interests, improving learning engagement.
  • Shifting from student-centered to teacher-centered learning prioritizes instructor knowledge and authority, with teacher-led instruction and standardized assessments.
  • Pedagogy (methodology) and evaluation (assessment) are key concepts. Comprehension means understanding, collaboration means cooperation, progress means development, and unity refers to teamwork.

Project Planning and Implementation

  • Project planning involves outlining goals, timelines, milestones, resources, and roles for team members.
  • Project initiation defines the concept, scope, and feasibility.
  • Project execution implements the plan, ensuring alignment with goals and coordination among team members.
  • Monitoring and control assesses progress and adjusts as needed.
  • Research and analysis gather information related to scope and requirements.
  • Closure involves project outcome evaluation, lessons learned documentation, and formal closing.

Conflict Resolution

  • Conflict resolution starts with remaining calm and avoiding generalizations.
  • Focus on specific behaviors, discuss issues privately, and allow space for emotions.
  • Summarize each person's perspective to clarify understanding.

Competency-Based Training

  • Competency-based training (CBT) focuses on specific skills needed for a role.
  • CBT is tailored to individual employee needs and goals.
  • Workplace communication training enhances employee communication skills.
  • Training regulations (e.g., TESDA standards) establish competency standards, assessment processes, and guidelines for training programs.
