Mutual communication can not only bring us mutual understanding, but the development of new ideas, different points of view, and a way to understand others and their insight which also boosts students confidence
Reflection and group discussions greatly enhance understanding. When students work together, they collaborate, share ideas, and learn from one another.
Mutual communication is essential to preventing confusion in the classroom.
Communication is one of the most important aspects to learning, between colleagues and students. It helps facilitate learning.
It is important to encourage students to take time to reflect on content, lab experiments, and field experiences to solidify their understanding and create a foundation to build questions and knowledge on.
I agree. Reflection is an important component of learning and remembering skills.
Communication is extremely important as an educator. We should always keep an open mind and learn new innovative ways to communicate our thoughts to our targeted population.
Reflection is important in all aspects of life.
Joint problem solving is an excellent interface between instructor and student.
I've been thinking of a way to have the students reflect on what they learned from their manual because it covers things we don't always cover in class. The difficult part of any changes I make is are they sustainable? I have 1000 students a year coming through my classes, so I have to make sure it's something I can keep up on because I have to multiply everything by 1000! :)
I’ve learned that mutual communication, joint problem solving, and learner reflection are essential for creating a collaborative and effective learning environment. I plan to apply these concepts by fostering respectful discussions, guiding students through structured problem-solving activities, and using reflection prompts or peer interviews to enhance their evaluation of the learning process. These skills will directly apply in the respiratory therapy field, especially during multidisciplinary rounds with intensive care doctors, where clear communication and collaborative problem-solving are critical.
I like the idea of having students reflect after problem solving. I think the statement about going from extroverted interaction to introverted action is interesting. In nursing, I think it is important that students know how to reflect and use this part of a problem solving skill set. Nurses make mistakes and encounter problems, but we do want to reduce these instances where we can and reflection could certainly help with that.
I need to use JPS in my workplaces as well as in my classroom! Ha! But really, having a structure for solving a tricky problem is really grounding for the individuals involved and it takes the emotion and heat out of stressful situations. I will absolutely be using this technique.
Hi! Bearing in mind that learning is a social fact, not only an individual one, it seems to me fundamental to implement strategies that promote collaboration, interaction, mutual communication, the search for common solutions to problems, as well as the shared production of knowledge. One possibility to implement the proposals of this third module could be through the formulation of team projects that provide concrete solutions to certain problems.

I took the most out of the mutual communication section. Communication can be the most significant barrier regarding the delivery of information. Ensuring communication is all-inclusive and delivered in a safe and comfortable learning environment is essential to allow for opinions and ideas to be shared and analyzed.
I see the "listen to respond" everyday and it is like a natural way we are designed in this day and age and I believe it is because of how fast paced our lives are. We have to remind ourselves going into listening mode and really understand what someone is telling us and not just getting ready to respond. I know that repeating back the info someone has just told me helps them feel like I have really heard them and understand where they are coming from.
Reflections help students understand what they learned, how they learned it, how they problem solved, and what their processes were.
Reflections are great because the focus on the result. Reflections allow us to look at the process and see what the outcome is and how it was achieved.
I think reflection is especially important for learning. While there are some opportunities for that built into the course I am teaching, I would like to continue to encourage reflection more regularly with my students.
