Math Tutor Marijana

Hello! In this blog post, I'm going to discuss a Zoom call I had with Bart , my colleague from the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program . Yes, he's the marine biologist from the title! 😄 Our call was initiated by one of the assignments for our course, Foundations of Adult Learning. The assignment required us to discuss and cover two main questions: What are some trends in your field? What are some trends in adult education? We had two calls; the first one was just to get to know each other and share our career and life journeys, while the second was specifically for the assignment's discussion. Firstly, I'd like to express how happy I am to have had the chance to meet Bart. I feel very lucky to have been assigned a learning partner like him. In my opinion, Bart is a very well-spoken, educated, organized, and responsible person. There were no delays or misunderstandings in our communication regarding the assignments. Now, that either means we both understood the assign...

  Hello! How are you? How has your week been? I've noticed that I'm writing every Sunday, and there is an interesting implication of repeating tasks. Namely, "According to a 2009 study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, it takes 18 to 254 days for a person to form a new habit" (Frothingham, 2019). Well, numbers... I'll have to do some calculations around it hehe. So, that means if I continue doing this for the next four months (since 18 divided by 4 monthly Sundays is approximately 4) and the upper number of 254 Sundays, which could mean around 4 years and 7 months (if I divide by 55 weeks per year), I would make this blogging my habit. Oh well, maybe hehe. Now, I want to talk about my reflective assignments in my PIDP courses. I came to the realization that these writings could see the light of day. So, I will be sharing my reflective assignments from my courses. I believe they are well thought out and easy to read, so blog it is! 😆 The firs...

Hi there! Today's blog includes a segment from my Reflective Writing homework assignment. I enjoy these assignments because you can learn so much more about yourself than just the material! I guarantee it. After all, that's the core goal of these assignments. As Socrates said, "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom." If you're curious about the title, please allow me to warmly invite you to continue reading. Grab yourself a nice cup of tea, and let's turn it into a tea party, just like in Alice in Wonderland (in case you didn't figure that out, haha). Let me begin. I've made some minor changes compared to my submitted homework, mostly because I prefer to use a lot of informal language. So, welcome: The quote that caught my attention the most is: "Everyone is challenged by the speed of change in this knowledge society” (Merriam & Bierema, 2013, p.4). That being said, we should acknowledge that everyone is confronted with navigating through...

 Hello!   In this blog post, I will talk about the article T op 10 Learning Trends in 2024 to Focus on While Upskilling by Sneha Chugh, published on the website  https://emeritus.org. In this article, the author discusses learning trends for 2024 by  focusing on what employees and professionals can expect in the future.  Some of the ten trends they talk about are digital learning, equity and inclusion, gamification learning, and the trend I will talk about here - soft skills. According to this article, soft skills will "remain one of the most significant"  learning trends.  The same article shares the findings of The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2023 "that because of the changing demands of the workforce, organizations focus more on soft skills such as analytical thinking, creativity, leadership, and attention to detail when they look for new recruits. " That being said if the companies require more employees with these skills, we...
