REFLECTION Firstly, I would like to thank God the Almighty, for the blessings and providing me spiritual strength

all the time. Next, I would also thank my EDU 3103 lecturer, Mr. Sarjit Singh s/o Malkiat Singh for guiding me throughout the whole coursework. He is the most understanding lecturer that I have ever met. Besides that, I want to express my gratitude towards my classmates for their willingness in sharing information and collaborating with one another while doing this coursework. In addition, I also want to thank my family for their understanding and support especially to my husband. Seriously, without the sincere help from any party above, I cannot finished this coursework smoothly. Honestly, I feel hopeless when I first get this coursework because I think that this coursework is the toughest coursework that I had ever received. This coursework required me to integrate learning theories into the traditional games. After that, I need to compare and contrast learning theories use graphic organizer. Finally, write an individual reflection related to all the experiences in carrying out this coursework. Through this coursework, I learned that every individual is different from one another. Hence, the intelligence possess by each individual is not the same too. As a teacher, I should first understand my own multiple intelligences and utilize my dominant intelligence in teaching. I must understand thoroughly learning theories as it is a must for a teacher to understand and incorporating them into lesson plans as it provides students more ways of learning and stimulate more creativity. As so on, they also can learn in a fun ways by a variety of learning technique. From this learning theories also I learnt that pupils need some reward when they complete their work on time, when they answer the question correctly or any good reaction. As a teacher, it is important to keep in mind that behaviourism is still widely used today, because controlling learning experiences helps direct students toward specific learning outcomes. In teaching & learning, I can understand that the role of the teacher is not only as a teacher but also an advisor, facilitator, planner, motivator and assistant. Much of the recent psychological thinking and experimentation in education includes some facts of the cognitive theory. As a teacher also, knowledge on learning

theories are very important because it can help me a lot to know the needs of the students according to the Abraham Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs Model.

Whatever the learning situation, it should contain elements that affect the students positively and give them a feeling of satisfaction. A vivid, dramatic, or exciting learning experience teaches more than a routine or boring experience. A student is likely to gain greater understanding of what they have learned by performing them rather than merely reading about them. The classroom imposes limitations on the amount of realism that can be brought into teaching. As a teacher, we should use imagination in approaching reality as closely as possible. Today, classroom instruction can benefit from a wide variety of instructional aides to improve realism, motivate learning and challenge students. After doing lots of reading related to the learning theories, finally I decided to do my study regarding learning theories. Our assignment is also meaningful because we can choose which theory to focus on. .Besides, I learned that although it is an individual coursework, we still can work together to complete the coursework. Information and research articles gathered from websites and books can be shared together with classmates who are doing the same topics. We can sit together and discuss about the relevant topics instead of doing alone. Working together is easier than working alone as everyone has different ideas and thoughts. Brainstorming of ideas and thought scan improve the quality of the coursework. Besides that, I learn about the importance of time management. Time management is extremely important for students. It is also of a high priority in the near future, because if we dont complete it on time, well get an incomplete . A student must be good in managing his or her time so that he or she can finish the assigned work within time given. Procrastinating work until last minute will only produce poor and lousy work. Last but not least, I am really glad and ecstatic because I manage to finish this coursework on time. Thank you
