How do we learn?
We can
a) Recognize what is important to know and understand
b) Reflect on our learning and how our mistakes help us to improve
c) Plan how to learn without wasting time
d) Use technology to do research and to work

- Maze experimental design project
During grade 11 in Animal Behaviour class, I have conducted the maze experiment on guinea pig. In order to conduct a real experiment, I have to do some researches and write the report, proposal and research papers first. For the literature review, I have read through numerous of previous researches and studies in order to develop my research proposal. By researching and reading all the previous studies about the guinea pig, training the guinea pig before conducting the experiment is required. Thus, I and my colleagues have used the technology such as Youtube website to research and watch the videos as a guide for training the guinea pig. Due to the limited time, I and my colleagues have divided the members into two groups: the first group will train the guinea pig during the class time and the other group will do the research and clean up the cage. In addition, before each class begin our group always plan ahead for the works that we have to get it done within the class time too. Last but not least, during conducting the maze experiment, I have met a lot of failures and mistakes. However, those mistakes and failures that occurred in each experiment teach me to become more gingerly and be patient because a good result does not always occur within the first time.
- Asean project |
By doing the Asean project in Asian Society & Economics class in grade 11, I have recognized that prioritize the works is essential in order to achieve the goal that we have set within the specific time. In the Asean project, there are many products and papers that are required to be submitted. For instance, the final model of the historical place, proposal papers, reflection essay and work log. In order to get all these things done within time, I have prioritized my works by working on the most important works first. For example, I decided to do the proposal papers first and leave the final model as the last thing to do because I have estimated the time that required for each work and the final model requires a lot of time and effort to work on due to its complexity and neatness. Thus, I have recognized that prioritize the works is the most significant thing and this also helped me plan how to use my time wisely as well. Furthermore, during the steps in creating the final model, I have reconstructed the model many times because the plan of the model that I drew as a guide did not work properly. Thus, during the reconstruction, I have applied the mistakes from the previous failures in order to improve my final mode.
