C16 Conscious Reflection - August by https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh Let me specify and reflect on a skill that I want to develop.   Let me give it a name, let me describe its characteristics.   en-us 2023-08-11 13:59:15 UTC 2023-09-23 20:37:40 UTC hello@padlet.com Academic Dialogue https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660239813 One skill that I would like to work on in the upcoming months is being able to verbally articulate what my thoughts, feelings, and conclusions are based on texts and discussions taking place amongst my peers and teachers. I can express my thoughts in written form in many ways, but I shy away from having academic discussions in an open forum. I hope to be able to open up myself more while expressing myself and being okay in not necessarily knowing the right answer but still putting myself out there. 
~Nabila]]> 2023-08-11 14:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660239813 My goal on STEP programme is to work on my critical analysis skill. This may include the criticality in my reading and writing segments. As an Asian student critical reflection is not common in academia and students mostly feel difficulty when they enrolled in a University abroad. I am working on this skill and still wants to polish it on the STEP journey. https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660240589 2023-08-11 14:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660240589 Culturally Inclusive Pedagogy https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660240679 In my journey as an educator, I aspire to refine my Adaptability and Differentiation skills to cultivate a culturally inclusive classroom. Embracing the rich diversity of my global student body, I aim to tailor my teaching methods, materials, and assessments to honour individual backgrounds, languages, and learning styles. This dynamic approach will foster an environment where every student's unique strengths are nurtured, leading to enriched learning experiences and greater academic success.

To be able to work as a student and a teacher I really need to work on this skill. https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660240983

Chareteristics of the skill are: prioritize important things and make a to-do-list and eliminate distractions that take too much time]]> 2023-08-11 14:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241299 I think a skill that I would prefer to develop in the next coming weeks is developing argument. It means I want to learn about making the ideas into paper form. https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241446 2023-08-11 14:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241446 Muscan Momin https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241558 I want to focus on my critical reading and thinking skills. Although these skills are core to the program and will take time to develop over the course of the next 2 years. I want to develop a strategy to not simply read but also understand the articles and course material with a deeper understanding. ]]> 2023-08-11 14:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241558 Samira https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241644 The skill of Questioning-
From generic to specific, open-ended, thought-provoking, perspective- changing questions. Questions that lead to high order thinking and reflecting more.]]> 2023-08-11 14:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241644 One of my aims for these two years would be to become a free learner. https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660241706 Becoming a free learner for me means conquering my fears as a learner and being able to express my ideas freely. 
This can include multiple skills within it but I think this is a skill in itself...

Although,I have some knowledge of reflective writing but I want to become a very good reflective practicer by developing this skill.]]> 2023-08-13 08:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2660835288 A Skill that I Want to Develop https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2662060965 In our context, most of the time, we just keep going on without consciously reflecting on our teaching practices. After joining STEP, I want to develop myself into a reflective practitioner.
I also want to further develop the skill of adaptability (with respect to teaching). I want to somehow modify the strategies and lessons according to the needs and skills of my learners.

As a STEP teacher, I oblige myself to answer students’ questions with high religious knowledge and logical justification. baqauddinbaqa https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2666651371 2023-08-20 11:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/iiswebcast/gsf0m5z5j9pewczh/wish/2666651371
