PERSONAL REFLECTIONS
AlvinThrough this survey, I learnt numerous values and habits of mind that have benefited and changed me into a better individual. The survey has shown that the views of others are important in the field of researching. With the views and thoughts from other people, I am able to generate better ideas which can be contributed to the project work. I strongly believe that a comprehensive research, needs to have many views from others which can act as different sources which can be used in the project work. Similarly, this is similar to history work where the sources are needed. Also, with the different views, we can do cross-reference and ensure that the research is a feasible and concise one. Furthermore, I learnt that surveys also play a part in our daily lives which can improve the quality of our lives in our environment. Surveys are used as a platform for all of us to share our views and I certainly hope that everyone will take them seriously as the person conducting the survey wants good response. In conclusion, I learnt many issues dealing with surveys as well as bonding with my group members during the survey process.
CyrusWell, basically throughout this survey, I learnt that the importance of team bonding because for this survey we had to split into different groups which different roles and tasks given. For example, I was given the task of conducting and distributing 50 sheets of survey paper. Therefore each and everyone of the group had to complete their specific roles proficiently in order ensure that our project would be able to progress successfully. Also in the field of researching, teamwork plays an important role in our daily lives because if anyone of the group members is not fully playing his or her part or is on tasks this would thus be a major setback for the group as there would be shortage of manpower and hence leading to slow progress in one’s project. Also I feel that being adaptive to new changes and remaining open to continuous learning is a great asset in helping our group. Firstly, in being adaptive, one can be able to adapt to changes no matter what the conditions are, be it dangerous or difficult. Next, by remaining open to continuous learning, which happens to be one of the habits of mind (HOM), where one must be able to accept and to listen to new ideas and opportunities which can help to add on one’s learning process. Therefore I can conclude that these few values which I had pointed are hence important and useful in both our project work and also in our daily lives.
JeremyI learnt many essential values that I can apply in the future through the survey that has been conducted. Many values such as confidence and integrity are shown when I do my survey and I also learnt numerous habits of mind(HOM) such as finding humor and striving for accuracy when doing this project. By learning all the values that can be obtained while doing this project has allowed me to change for the better and I have become a better person after applying all the values learnt to my everyday life. I also learnt that not only research is important in contributing to the success of this project and also conducting a public survey is just as important. Conducting a survey will help us understand more about the views and opinions of the public and this will prove to us about the awareness of the public towards mangrove, which is the topic of our project. Not only had I learned essential values from this project and also how to do a good survey and successfully conduct a public survey. I learnt how to do a survey and also how to do report writing which is important for doing a research. Other than this, most importantly I learnt about the factors that will contribute in allowing the project to be a success.
Shiuan JunThrough this survey I learnt quite a few skills and values that I could apply in my daily life. Through surveys, we are able to learn more about how other people feel about a certain topic. For this case, it will be on the mangroves. In our survey, we asked if the public was wiling to give up some of their time to help save or clean up the mangrove swamps. Majority of them were willing and was supportive of the conversation of the mangroves. However, there was a small portion of the public who were unsupportive of the cause which my group aims to instill. Hence, another reason for us to come up with this survey is to change the mindset of this minority so as to ensure that the conservation of the mangrove is extremely supportive world wide. I strongly feel that as long as my group is cooperative, the results we produced can be far from imagination. The survey has conducted to the youths which can be a good way for us to learn how they feel as they are around the same age as my group members. Therefore, I think that surveys are extremely helpful and useful for researching purpose that gives us a chance to know what others feel weather they agree or disagree with our opinions and interests. Hence, I have certainly benefited a lot from the survey we have conducted and enjoyed myself during the process of it.
EmilyI learnt that surveys are good for researching fields as they can tell us how the others feel about mangroves. They help to educate us on the feelings of others and more importantly the public which is filled with a great diversity of people with different opinion. As I am a habitual blogger, I strongly agree that the website implementation is a good platform for us to receive feedback from the public and the cyber world. Therefore, blogs can be used for us to receive feedback on our project work which can be used as guidance for us to edit and complete our project work. Furthermore, with the help of my fellow group members, our website is completed and this can also serves as a form of communication for feedback to come back to us for editing purpose or other important matters which can be taken into consideration. Hence, we would like to branch this out into more websites to increase the chances and the accessibility of getting feedback. Also, I learnt that surveys can be tiring work as one has to prepare and give them out to the public. However, the results are very rewarding like the saying goes no pain no gain. In conclusion, I strongly feel that surveys are worth the time and effort as the results are very fruitful.
