From reading, I disagree with one idea that “if you have ever argued with someone, you likely know that even the strongest arguments against their view, seem to make them believe even more strongly that they are correct” (Admin, 2020). Because you have to convince others that it must be the right thing. If you use a strong and wrong perspective to talk about being accused, you will bring the wrong values to others.

I think the theoretical perspectives are difficult to understand. Perspectives that are too theoretical will make me feel very abstract and difficult to understand. Because it is too theoretical, it makes me feel far away from reality, and it is difficult for me to use it in my life and understand it. So, I usually apply theoretical perspectives to real life and apply it to some basic perspectives that everyone knows. I think life is the best medium and way to link unfamiliar and difficult to understand theories with common theories.

I will share a story about my best learning experience. I used to play basketball during high school, and I am a member of my school team. Basketball has a lot of theoretical knowledge, the history, the rule, and the skill. During the studying, I always confuse what is basket assignment and tip-off, what is fouls and violations, what is the game clock. And how can I improve my offensive skills and defensive skills? But when I touch the ball and apply this theoretical knowledge in the game, I found I know it, I can understand deeply about what I confused about. So, I really enjoy this process that forms confusion to understand, life and application are the best way for me to learning.

Behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism are three totally different ways. Behaviorism is with reinforcement and feedback to develop habits in their learners (Admin, 2020). Cognitivism is work with the learner to help them uncover and use appropriate learning strategies and make connections to prior understandings (Admin, 2020). Constructivism is believing that learners make their own meaning and interpretations based on individual experiences and interactions (Admin, 2020). When I want to learn some real hands-on things, behaviorism is a better way. When I want to learn some theoretical perspectives, cognitivism is a better way. When I need to connect realistic and theoretical perspectives, constructivism is a better way.

Hello, my name is Yirun Jin. I’m 25 years old. My hometown is Shanghai, China. So, my native country is China as well. Definitely, my first language is Chinese. I’m also an international student. I have been in Canada for five years, I really like Canada which nice view, a nice river, and nice mountains. However, sometimes I feel bored and lonely because of my family in China. I’m a year 4 student, so this term is my last term in my college life. To ensure smooth graduation, I am in Vancouver, Canada now. My major in Uvic is economic, as I said, I’m year 4, so I will finish all courses after this term.

I’d like play any interesting things, so I have a lot of hobbies, like basketball, video game, swimming, and so on. Do any guys play lol or pubg, please contact me? I watch NBA usually, my favorite term is Lakers, the player is Kobe Bryant. But on January 26, 2020, Bryant was killed in a helicopter accident in Calabasas, California. He was only 41 years old. On April 5 of the same year, Bryant was officially elected to the Nai Smith Basketball Hall of Fame. RIP KOBE!!!

The world is becoming more and more technological every day. Multimedia has played such an important role in education. I think the future of education mainly comes from various media resources, so this is a very important course to learn.

I am so excited to meet everyone, hope everything well, and take care of everyone.
