Get Your Students Hired
We can develop liifelong learning skills to promote professional growth in students by encouraging reflection activities, encouraging self-management skills, etc.
We have to be careful during this age of COVID where all of our instruction is happening on Zoom. Students aren't getting the social interaction they usually would on campus so it's important for me as an instructor to keep them engaged and keep them thinking critically.
It is important to encourage enhance the idea that we will all be life long learners.
The flipped classroom or online learning is growing and gaining momemtum. I think it was fast-forwarded a little due to Covid 19. I know for me as an instructor at a private university, I had to learn quickly how to utilize Zoom and other platforms where students locate all their materials and submit assignments instead of lecturing on campus. This presents a challenge to reach all learning styles. You have to find ways to be creative and engage the students. That being said, the internet an on demand courses are so easily accessible for life long learning.
Encouraging students to make the most of all opportunities that come their way is crucial in helping them grow. They get down when they don't get a clincial site they wanted or have to do clincial virtually and may miss great learning opportunities. Teaching them how the situation they find themselves in and how they pertain to real life opens their eyes to anothe realm of learning. The more they can "see" the more they will learn.
On line learning is the way learning in going. Learning never stops. The student will continue to learn and should continue to enhance himself in his work environment. There is a wealth of information to be learned online. If the studcent wants to advance he must continue to learn.
The mind is a terrible thing to lose/waste. In this age of globalalization competition for positions are greatly impacted by your ability to compete, so by continually learning and advancing your own skills it will greatly impact your ability to compete. We should be critical thinkers of ourselvs as we manage our lives to be better today than we were yesterday, so by continued lifelong learning it will only enchance our ability to function in the 21st century. we also have to be honest with ourselves to our weaknesses and work on it ,as anyone who gives us constructive criticism, and it is accepted as a learning tool by us will appreciate the benifit of personal growth .
Knowledge is power (Francis Bacon)
With this thougt in mind, learning is a never ending process.
We must understand that continous education is something we have to practice and encourage our students to do soo.
Encouraging analytic thought and research into broad subjects that built upon what they originally were interested in is a way to encourage lifelong learning and a commitment to knowledge. Taking pride in continuing learning and seeing how it affects the success of their futures is another motivator.
