P/S: We are so sorry because we couldn't put this on the upper side of the blog because there was some technical errors due to this. Hope we won't be penalized! Sorry! 

Reflection: Instructional Technology

We have learned a lot through our 12 weeks time in this class. We realized the harsh reality of an I.T class which focuses on practicality. We learned how to create our own poster, blogs, banners, PowerPoint and also how to use basic softwares or programs.

We will now see how this class teaches us through the eyes of 3 methods:

Behaviorism:

This learning approach can be easily seen when we are doing the Photoshop session. We had to learn how to create our own posters, banners using this software and trust us, it takes skill to use it but what we do is that we reinforced ourselves by trying and trying. Basically, we used Trial-and-Errors technique to learn how to use its basic functions. Dr. Sariah can be said as our stimulus and we respond to her instructions carefully so that we get the best result.

Cognitivism:

For this one, we actually tried to memorize the steps instructed by Dr. Sariah and sometimes, we found that difficult since this learning approach is kind of bad to be used. But the good side of this approach is that we learn by experimenting on our own, like how to a video, we tried and tried editting the video and finally got the result we wanted. Basically, there is a lot of risks using this approach but at least we know how to counter the negative results we had.

Constructivism:

Lastly, for this approach, we can use this one belief that my friend uphold as an example; life is a learning process. We learn and acquire knowledge by going through our lives. This is also foreshadowed by Dr. Sariah as she said this class is to produce students which can do things on their own and learn on their own. It is quite true since we need to do most of our assignments on our own using the skills she has taught us.


THANK YOU DR. SARIAH FOR TEACHING US! WE APPRECIATE IT!
