"A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement. In this way, he steadily raises his level of aspirations."

"If you want truly to understand something, try to change it."

"Our behaviour is purposeful; we live in a psychological reality or life space that includes not only those parts of our physical and social environment to us but also imagined states that do not currently exist."

Reflections of Sesson 3

Some key learning points from Session 3:

1) 3 aspects of the learning environment: Physical environment, Social environment and the Student interaction in the environment.
2) Scales used to assess the learning environment can be categorised into Rudolf Moo's 3 dimensions: Relationship dimension (extent of people involvement and support for each other), Personal Development dimension (Direction along which personal growth and self-enhancement occur) and System maintenance and system change (extent ofwhich the environment is orderly).
3) Kurt Lewin's field theory states that a person's behaviour is influenced by the person and the environment. Behaviour = f(Person, Environment). Applications of the field theory include Group dynamics, Experiential learning and Action research.
