Reflective Report on Psychology Presentation

Reflective Report on Psychology PresentationThis is a reflective report on my playation on 4th February, 2015. motif What pressures do children of immigrant families face, in adjusting to a new culture and what are the implications of this for counseling?IntroductionThis was an individual presentation that was assessed by Tim Wilkinson who is the lecturer for Christian endogenetic Therapeutic Counselling II, for Year 3. The second assessor was Dr. Barth Orji.I position in a striation of effort in preparing for this presentation. I visited the British Library twice and I active several scholars listed in my bibliography. I was really amazed to find that thither was an enormous amount of materials on the subject field. I critically analysed the views and the materials that I engaged. I as well consulted my lecture pure tones and steady the Tutor and Peer feedback forms so that I prepared not except for the mental object and materials alone on the presentation too. I had a report at home in the presence of my wife and I asked her to reassessment the presentation. She gave me round valuable advice which I took on board.As with all my assessments, I had mixed feelings leading to the day. I was anxious because I was to be assessed and I was also exhilarated in anticipation of receiving some very positive feedback that im initiate further enhance my counselling skills, as I be possessed of known the two assessors involved to be very objective.On the day, I arrived in time nevertheless the second assessor was a slit late which in the end gave me ample time to relax my nerves. I was the first to present which ordinarily would have been nerve racking but surprisingly, I was very calm, composed and confident all through my presentation. Upon reflection, I think that it is the result of my quest to raise the bar and improve. Many forget avoid starting first so as to learn from the feedbacks of those that present ahead of them but I would rather have a n assessment of my reliable ability and take on feedbacks that will be useful to assistance me to the next level.The presentations went on as scheduled. Every student attended and took part in peer assessment. Everyone gave feedback which made it more interesting because there were different perspectives to the feedbacks.Summary of my presentationThere are issues that Immigrant children face in a bid to adapt to a new culture. I grouped these issues into half a dozen sub themes Educational, New community, Emotional, Language, Racism and Identity. In the course of my search, I notice that there is another side to the coin there are also benefits. Such benefit will include Bi-cultural competence (Garcia-Coll Magnuson 1997) and development of the genial ability to cope with stress.Some children adapt easily while some others struggle. There is a great variation in how the children adapt. These variations are so much so that they pose a challenge in mechanical drawing conclusion s.There are implications that these issues could have on counselling. I realised that yet though parents expect that the advocate will put their child right, not very much is known about these issues. I think the Counsellor must strive to equip himself to be effective. Pre-migration and post migration circumstances cartel to influence how these children navigate this adaptive process.However, I think that more seek is required to formulate effective models of discussions to support immigrant children. This will support immigrant children in establishing the foundation for their futures. (Szapocznik Kurtines,1993). The Counsellor requires an in-depth understanding of the aforementioned issues.Again, I think that the political relation can support immigrant children by establishing counselling services in schools this will enhance mental wellbeing, bi-cultural abilities and stronger community among immigrants children.Questions and Feedback from Peers and TutorsMy colleague Isr ael, who was one of the peers assessors questioned my definition of immigrants children and wanted more clarification. I reiterated that a child born abroad and brought to live(a) in the United Kingdom as well as a child born to a first generation immigrant parent, is an immigrants child. The lecturer, Tim Wilkinson concurred with my definition and in his contribution, gave an example of a child born to a Caucasian family who lived as missionaries in Africa upon returning to the United Kingdom, the child struggled to cope with the culture and eventually moved back to live in Africa.The peer assessors were Israel, Tuoyo, Ayo, Chikere and Bernardine. Tuoyo noted that the content was extremely rich and well researched. He thinks that the strongest part of the presentation was the definitions. Israel spy that it was well referenced with enough scholars. Ayo thinks that the presentation was thorough and that I exhibited confidence, Chikere and Bernardine concord with the rest but po inted out that I needed to improve on my time management. There was a consensus that it was a very ripe(p) presentation.Dr Barth sight that I did not use visual support but give them printed copies of my presentation. He observed that the communication was very nigh, subject well researched, indicating that I know and mastered the subject. He also said that there was good eye contact, gesture and body language was good, stance was good and fathom projection was excellent. He also commended me for remaining focused even when there was distraction from peers.Tim Wilkinson did not want to repeat what had been said he added that research was thorough, but that the material was too much hence I exceeded the allocated time. He observed that there was evidence of good knowledge of the subject, clear English, interpreter projection was good. However, he thinks that the eye contact can be better. demonstration and ConclusionI think that my presentation was hitch free. I engaged several scholars in the course of my research and I found the topic very interesting. I put in all effort but I am aware that there is still a lot more research to be done in developing intervention models for immigrants children.I reflected and listened to myself as I was presenting, and I was quite surprised at how confident I came across. At the end, I still felt that I did not do my best and so I was amazed at the feedbacks that I received.I think that overall, having evaluated the whole exercise including feedbacks, it was a good presentation. However, it was a learning process for me and I have taken note of the feedbacks on areas highlighted for improvement. I will endeavour to use visual aids in the future, work on my time management and improve on my eye contact. (1073 words)BibliographyCropley, A.J. (1983). The education of immigrant children.
