Independent Learning:"I am always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught" - Winston Churchill

You have a question…take the initiative to search answer…explore possible sources and find it!

Growth Mindset:

Learning as an Individual and as a Team:

Why is that important?

“Give a man a fish for a day, and he is fed for a day.Teach a man how to fish, and he is fed for a lifetime.”

Independent learning for individual and team success:

Ever expanding knowledge

Most skilled individual finds his place in a team

Team’s success relies on individual’s performance

Teams with well balanced skill set expected to succeed

“In school, you are taught a lesson and then given a test.In life you are given a test that teaches you a lesson.” – Tom Bodet.

Fayol’s five elements of management:

Forecasting

Organizing

Commanding

Coordinating

Controlling

However…

Reality – not same order

Assume – managers evaluate information before taking decisions.

Managers are not actually confined within,Interpersonal RolesInformational Role Decision making Resources

Academically:Applied in preparing for presentation by delegating and setting deadlines.

Professionally:Similar application is possible in group projects.

Motivated individuals contributing to spirited team:

Expectancy theory

Effort Performance Outcome

Decision?

Effort Performance Outcome

Decision? --- Ambitious?

Extrinsic and Intrinsic reward: Alas…and thanks to my development as an ‘Independent Learner’…Sudbury Model School – Thought

Procrastination – compulsion to school,Self evaluation, assessment,Learn what I want,Achieved practical success,Provoke creativity and self drive

Tuckman’s five stages of team development:

Forming Storming Norming Performing Adjourning

The first day of our group formation:Been through all the stages, (Reflection of case analysis)

Provides a framework that is widely used in academic and professional environment.

Language, religion, cultural background,Assumes linear development,Difficult to separate each stage,Not applicable for virtual teams,Temporal patterns.

Team’s development as Independent learners and transformation towards growth mindset:

Member

• Afzal• William

Academically (in CULC)

• I took the responsibility to prepare the slides for my team, which required me to learn new skills in MS Ppt. I positively took the task (GM) and went through different video tutorials in YouTube (IL), thus accomplished the task.

• I worked as a team member and helped fellow members develop their communication skill which enhanced my confidence as well.

Professionally (in Work)

• Learning MS PowerPoint by myself will give me confidence to learn more things independently in my profession. The team work and taking responsibility for this group presentation broadened my mind which is more receptive to challenge now.

• In my business from now on I will be more aware of the happenings in the industry and do my research to explore growth opportunities.

Reflecting Observation (watching)

Abstract Conceptualisation (thinking)

Active Experimentation (doing)

How did that go? How did I feel? What did I learn? And fail to learn?

What will I do differently in future to help me learn better?

How might I have learned more effectively?

Learning through reflection:

Page 10: 302 lon dbp   dynamic group final slides

Reflection through my learning journal:

Seek part time job

Self evaluation

Summarize into theory

Apply in practice and examination

An Academic Evaluation Leading to a Formula for Professional Application:Team ‘Dynamic’ Learning Matrix: A peer scoring on a scale of 1-10

Inference:Tend to be passive.Similarity between Kolb’s Theory and VAK; Strength wise responsibilities (visual – slides);Action plan for being active;No single theory is enough to explain team-dynamics; Professional teams can use it.

Summary:

Thank you for your patience, I am concluding with a short movie for you!!!

1. Once upon a time therewere 5 students in a team.

2. Each had their own learningpreference, some by seeing, some hearing and so on…

3. They were from different countries so had problem working together, but, they learned Tuckman’s model to build a good team!!!

4. They did not know a lot of things, but knew how to learn independently and help team-mates as they were self-aware.

5. Sometimes they got de-motivatedbut others knew which motivational theory works for whom, and inspired each other. Together they adapted a growth mindset. They managed their tasks using Fayol’s theory.

6. Finally they performed wonderfully in their presentation, and after ten years, now recollecting those memories in their learning journal!
