According to Meiland, high school students assume that college teaching will not be like high school but more hard and common core. A college course expected that is different from high school is that each course that is being taken during a semester will be more hard with bigger vocabulary and are more in depth with its information that is giving out to the course. When referring to the college course work Meiland uses the phrase, "a rational justification of belief," because he is trying to say that college is much spent on investigating the rationality of a certain belief.
For example, if there were to be a lesson and there are additional information that was being taught. Teachers will make their students take a stand on what they believe and why they believe instead of making them believe only one side just like in High School lessons. I was taught to just be the student and try to memorize what the teacher has taught, then study it from a guide, then take a test, and then in the end I forget what I just learned. I know that I only study to pass the test. There was nothing really to understand and keeping the information to be understood.
I just got a bigger view on how us as high school students are like a sponge and whatever the teacher spit out we will just absorb it, (From class lecture, 9/30). Just last night my younger sister who is in high school she was studying for her test she just try to remember the words and then forget them just to do well on the test. I makes me wonder if that is something high school students should be doing. I think now when I use to also do that, I didn't really learn much for it, since right now in college I think my learning habits are not as great and I need to improve more since I just did graduate not too long ago from High School.
My impressions of the difference between high school courses and college work was what I expected it to be since I took Summer Bridge just right after I graduated high school. When I walked to my math class the very first day, we did not just go through one lesson but three lessons in two hours and thirty minutes at eight thirty in the morning. My brain was not functioning right or to be honest I did not like taking math in the morning. A lot of peers and friends around me tell me it isn't a great idea to have math in in the morning, which I agree, most people their brains run a little slower than others and sometimes makes them feel as if they are not smart enough or they are not meant to be in that class like the other students.
I did not fine my first-year courses to be similar to high school courses in the way that Meiland contends because I know what to be expected in some classes, but in ENTH 14, not to lie there are a lot of readings and annotating to be done. There are always complaints but the only thing that I am able to do is to keep it to myself and tell myself that this is college. In my first year as a fresh man at Sacramento State my courses do require to use evidence to support the factual material I am using, but I don't think it as a requirement I mean I do have prior acknowledgement to have evidence and to show what I know from experiences. This college work material has influenced my way of thinking and learning by knowing that college isn't just about textbooks and notes all the time we learn from one another and listen to how they achieve in different ways.
Wagner had a conversation with Clay parker, the president of Chemical Management Division of BOC Edwards (Company that makes machines and supplies chemicals for the manufacture of microelectronics devices). He is an engineer by training and is the head of the technical business. He asks him what about skills that he looks for when he is hiring someone for a position in which he replies back says he looks for someone who asks good question in which he was shocked to hear such answer. I agree with him too, when I read his response I thought he would list down some characteristics that he was looking for but unfortunately he wasn’t looking for that. He says that if someone who asks questions and can engage in a great conversation and have a give and a take. If that person knows how to engage with others and if you can’t engage well with others you won’t learn what you need to know. He didn’t believe that his words were right but as he started to interview leaders from companies such as Apple. He had found out that the world of work has changed. It is not the same as before.
Critical thinking and solving problems, for economy companies if they want to compete in the new global economy they need their workers to think about how they world improve their products. He found out from executives said that the heart of critical thinking and problem solving is to ask the right questions.
Collaboration and leadership, team work in no loner just about working with others in the area that you are located at or assigned to. One of the person he had interviewed with said that she has teams that work on projects all over the United States and you are partnered up with people you don’t see very often. Mike Summers, vice president of Global Talent Management said that his biggest concern was young people’s lack of leadership.
Agility and Adaptability everyone has to think, be flexible, change, and use a variety of tools to solve new problems. Parker says that adapting and learning skills are the most important than having technical skills.
Initiative and entrepreneurialism this section is talking about supporting your workers to make them have the spirit to work. I can reflect on to some volunteer work, when one of the manager of the place had held a BBQ for his employees and told them to keep up the hard work for their motivation.
Accessing and analyzing information Summers told him that there is too much information to gather all at once and in the 21st century they have changing information every day.
Curiosity and imagination Summers also told him that people who have learned to ask great questions have learn to be inquisitive. Then the ones moving fast are the ones who solves bigger problems in the ways that the most impact on innovation.
After all of the listing of the categories, he observes in AP classes but in their class rooms most of the students do not answer questions, some don’t’ know, some mumbles and no one can hear. He then goes to a rare class, Algebra 2 class and the students are told to solve a problem that they had not seen before. They use all of the 7 lists that he had provided and the teacher asks questions of how they had solved the problem, which then goes to the understanding of the problem and they are actually learning something in great discussion because of great questions. The teacher uses questions to push the student’s critical thinking and with the help of the team. I found his observations very useful because I use to always think that AP classes everyone would answer questions and such but they don’t compared to regular classes during my high school years.
He argues that across the United States schools that are succeeding at makes adequate progress but their students are failing. He says to teach at school they need to find excellent instructions to schools and make the students able to learn better than before. In this 21st century students will need to learn more academic lessons.
In high school a topic that I learned well was through an entrepreneurship class. I learned the topic through a book that the teacher had provided for me. He had told us to read the passage and then we will read it together as a class. He then tells us to answer the questions and then discussing the answers. Next he gave us an activity reflecting on your own life and how much budget do we spend. He tells us to write down as much things that we go to for example how often do we go eat out or use the our money monthly, yearly and how much we could have saved so much. I think that it stuck out to my mind in comparison to other learning experiences because this lesson has something that will benefit me in the future. From the learning of this lesson it interests me because it’s something that connects to me in my daily life. This experience reflects to me the way I learn is because this teacher he teaches very well, through the students own experience and he doesn't just give us so much information to make my brain fry. He asks us questions just like how Summer said that the people who asks a lot of question is something that they will be able to engage with others.
