Physics 11 Core Competencies Reflection

COMMUNICATION & COLLABORATION

“Through their communication, students acquire, develop and transform ideas and information, and make connections with others to share their ideas, express their individuality, further their learning.”

In Ms. Curran’s Physics 11 class whenever we are learning a new concept or idea, we are always put into group work as this may help individuals understand these new concepts with the help of their friends. Through group work, I not only learn from my peers but also actively work on my collaboration skills. Furthermore, through talking and applying these concepts to actual problems my partners and I are able to “rally” ideas between one another to understand the concepts more than we would have alone. Through the help of my peers rallying Ideas with me in group work, I have been to actively work on my core competencies which have made me a much better student.
