TOPIC 2 - EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

1. The Learning from the Group work

Become more responsible in the group 
-Without the responsibility , a group cannot form to become a high performance group 
-For example , every members have their own role and tasks to complete 
-If one of the member did not do their work property , the work done by group will become mess 
-So , the group will also fail to achieve their goal 
-Every group member were very care about their own role
-For example , our reporter which are Jia Ling and Tong Vee , they try to remember their own questions parts before going to interview the staff .
-Our head of blogger always help us to check the draft before upload on blog 
-We done our work without reminding and done our task perfectly .
Sharing Ideas 
-Our assistance leader ,Jia Xin and our leader ,Jia Min always share their own experience and good ideas about the presentation and group discussion 
-By sharing ideas and working together , everyone involved benefits and receives a bit back without making it known what we're doing and thinking , it,s impossible for others to contribute to that knowledge 
-As a team , the members can each contribute pros and cons of approaches to tasks and methods to accomplish key goals 


2. Motivating factor to complete the project successfully


-We want to achieve our group goals . Our group goals is to accomplish the assignment perfectly 
-We want to score A in this subject 
-We want to achieve success together
-For example , just like our bog we did not have the contain that lecturer want . So, we all burn the midnight oil by doing this blog and edit this blog .
-Without motivation by each group members , we will not done it on this limited time . 

3. How Experiential Learning was implemented in your class and group 

-We realise that we have to take care of group members feeling and given respect to other group members when they are giving suggestions.
- For example , once during the meeting in our group , there are different opinions among the group members about the time for interview our staff .
-Ivan and Bryan can't make it for the time we had already set up . So, they give difference time to us for the staff interview .
-But for their time , the staff (ERU) can make it to us 
-Thus ,we list down what time that Ivan and Bryan can make it and see which time that everyone can and the staff also can make it .

• YES - Some attitudes and behaviours are needed to change

FIRST EXAMPLES : 

1. ACTION THEORY

• This action had distracted our classmates from learning.
• Lecturer advised them not to become a latecomer.

     2. MODIFY ATTITUDES 

• The latecomers felt ashamed of their behaviour. 
• They came class earlier after advising by lecturer.

SECOND EXAMPLES : 

1. ACTION THEORY 

• Most of the classmates are not active while asking questions by lecturer.                                   
• This phenomena had wasted our learning progress and made lecturer a little bit unhappy and disappointed. 

1. MODIFY ATTITUDE

• Our group felt apologizing to lecturer. 
• We volunteered ourselves becoming the first group to carry out a  simple presentation in front of our classes.
