Psychology Reflection Journal - Habits of Mind
One psychology class this year, involved learning about the Habits of Mind, which is “having a disposition toward behaving intelligently when confronted with problems, the answers to which are not immediately known." I felt that teaching "Habits of Mind" when possible, would help in creating critical global minded citizens for the future. Below the cut, is a psychology reflection journal concerning this topic. This reflection journal can be classified as Professional Practice since the needs of individual students in the present day world/society are explored, as well as the feasibility of directly teaching these strategies to students. Sometimes students need to be explicitly led, in order to better develop desirable thinking skills which will aid them in learning and dealing with crises, both their everyday and academic life.
