Transfer knowledge, skills and behaviours bought through formal and informal learning and life experiences to new situations

This course covers the fundamental principles and methods of psychology, which is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes. Students learn how to apply psychological theories and concepts in both personal and professional settings.   The goal of this course is to apply information, skills, and behaviours gained via formal and informal learning and life experiences to new circumstances. I achieved this goal by being introduced to many views and methodologies in psychology, including biological, cognitive, social, and developmental. I learned how to assess facts, think critically, and communicate effectively in psychology.

• Course outcome: Demonstrate ethical and legal communication techniques specific to the human and social services environments.

In this assignment, I applied my knowledge of family and relationship theories to a family crisis case scenario. I analyzed the issues and challenges that the family members were facing, such as divorce, alienation, neglect, and anger. I also suggested some possible treatment approaches that could help them improve their communication, coping, and emotional well-being. I used various sources and references to support my arguments and followed the ethical and legal guidelines for working with families. I learned how to assess the family dynamics through the stages of the family life cycle and how to select and implement appropriate interventions based on the specific needs and goals of the family. I also learned how to reflect on my strengths and areas of improvement as a family therapist or counsellor. This assignment helped me develop my critical thinking, writing, and research skills and understand the diverse and complex issues that families face in today’s society. 240224122328_week7_project_portfolio_Copy.docx (.docx) 0.03mb

Course Outcome: Adapt essential communication skills to interact effectively with supervisors, peers, and the public in various human and social settings.

• In this project, I had to reflect on my own biases and how they may influence my interactions with others. This demonstrated my ability to use self-awareness and self-regulation skills to monitor and adjust my own behaviour and communication style. You also have to show respect and empathy for the diversity and complexity of human and social settings, and how to adapt to different situations and challenges.

I posted this math project in human services because it shows how I can use my math skills to make informed decisions and solve real-world problems. By applying proportional reasoning to my budget, I demonstrated my ability to draw conclusions and make decisions based on quantitative information. This is a course outcome that is relevant for human services, as you may need to use math to manage resources, evaluate programs, or plan interventions. By transferring my knowledge and skills from my math class to my personal and professional situations, I also demonstrated relational learning, which is a program outcome that is essential for human services. Relational learning helps you adapt to new situations and challenges, and apply what you have learned to different contexts and domains. This project shows that I am a lifelong learner who can use math to improve my own and others’ lives.
