STUDENTS’ METACOGNITION PROCESS IN SOLVING MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS IN TERMS OF KEIRSEY’S PERSONALITY TYPE

Metacognition plays an important role in problem-solving activities. It will help students to find what the problem is and understand how to get the solution. This study aimed at describing the student's metacognition process based on Keirsey's personality types. This research used qualitative method with descriptive approach and it was conducted involving eight students who have equal mathematical abilities and the same gender. The selected students represented Keirsey’s personality types. They were carried out through two types of tests, namely the Keirsey Temperament Sorter and the Mathematics Ability Test. The result showed that each personality type could through indicators of the metacognition process. However, there are some indicator components missed. Rational and idealist student have not been able to carry out the metacognition process in the regulation stage properly. Guardian and artisan student have been able to carry out the metacognition process well. This study suggests the teacher can facilitate students in each personality type by determining the appropriate learning model, learning activities, and assessments to obtain better results.

Word Analysis of Indonesian Keirsey Temperament

Personality uniquely relates to our feeling and pattern to the aspect of actions. This behavior will change through the experience, formal education, and the surrounding environment. This works based on the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, a personality questionnaire developed by David Keirsey. This model divides the personality into four categories as Idealists, Rationals, Guardians, and Artisans. This concept is commonly recognized for the interpretation of specialist trends, potentially contributes to the process of recruitment or selection, and potential fields for analysis of social media data.

Has Speech-Language Pathology Changed? Personality Types of Contemporary Students

The influence of personality on therapy outcomes is largely unknown. However, clinical success in a broad sense may be influenced appreciably by personality, as persons with differing personalities comprise a therapy team. Purpose: This study assessed the personality traits of a large number of graduate students in speech-language pathology and compared the results to those of a generation ago. This information is valuable in preparing students for both educational and workplace success. Method: A total of 320 graduate students in speech-language pathology at six universities completed the Keirsey Temperament Sorter-II. Frequency and proportional data of personality type and temperament and means for the bipolar constructs were analyzed. Results: A majority of the students preferred a Sensing-Judging (SJ) temperament at a rate that is double that of the US population. (Persons with a SJ temperament tend to be realists who prefer organization and service.) With the exception of one, universities were statistically comparable in their students’ bipolar constructs. Conclusion: This study confirms recent findings of a preference for the SJ temperament in graduate speech-language pathology students. Although these findings indicate a clear shift in the personality of students from a generation ago, clinical educators and workplace managers must be knowledgeable of and diligent in the utilization of all team members’ personalities to facilitate educational and clinical success.

Using Online Instruments to Assess Learning Styles of Health Professions Students: A Pilot Study

Understanding their own learning styles can assist students as they relate to one another and ultimately to their future clients. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the preferred learning and personality styles of a convenience sample of Central Michigan University students enrolled in the following health-related professions: Athletic Training, Communication Disorders, Social Work, and Physician Assistant. Method: Students completed two self-administered online instruments used to measure learning styles, the VARK and the online version of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II (KTS-II). Associations between VARK learning style scores and the online Keirsey Temperament Sorter II results were also examined. Results: Seventy-four percent of the students scored as Guardians (Sensing-Judging) based on the online KTS-II report and 62% were multimodal learners on the online version of the VARK. Conclusion: This study confirmed previous findings that Guardian is the preferred temperament type on the MBTI/KTS-II for health professions students. Average scores on the VARK and the Keirsey did not differ between the various health-related disciplines; however, students scoring as Idealists (Intuition/Feeling) on the Keirsey had significantly higher Aural scores on the VARK when compared to those with Guardian temperaments. There was no significant difference found between Keirsey groups and how they scored on Vark-V (Visual), R/W (Read/Write), or K (Kinesthetic) learning style dimensions.

Características do Temperamento e suas Influências no Comportamento do Consumidor

O presente artigo tem como objetivo verificar a existncia de diferenas entre agrupamentos de pessoas com temperamentos semelhantes em relao ao seu comportamento de consumo, que sejam significativas para elucidar que as caractersticas do temperamento influenciam o comportamento de consumo das pessoas. Para chegar a esse objetivo foram aplicados, a uma amostra 167 pessoas, o questionrio Keirsey Temperament Sorter II a fim de identificar as caracteristicas do temperamento dos indivduos e um questionrio contendo 30 perguntas relacionadas aos construtos racionalidade, materialismo, compulsividade, simbolismo e emoo. Aps esse levantamento foi aplicada a tcnica de anlise fatorial para reduo do nmero de variveis e confirmao dos construtos. Por meio dos fatores criados, a partir dessa anlise, foram definidos quatro agrupamentos de individuos com temperamentos semelhantes. A partir desses agrupamentos, foi calculada as mdias para cada grupo de acordo com os construtos e analisadas as diferenas entre eles em relao s caracteristicas do temperamento e o comportamento de consumo. Verificou-se que grupos com caracteristicas racionais de temperamento so menos emocionais em suas decises e menos compulsivos no processo de compra; o grupo com caractersticas mais emocionais no temperamento eram mais compulsivos no processo de compra. Dessa forma, pode-se concluir que o temperamento exerce influncia significativa no comportamento de compra dos individuos. DOI: 10.5585/remark.v10i2.2256

Uma estratégia de ensino em transportes apoiada nos perfis de personalidade dos estudantes

<p><strong>Resumo: </strong>O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar se uma estratégia pedagógica, que visa aprimorar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem na área de Engenharia de Transportes, atingiu efetivamente todos os alunos ou se produziu resultados diferenciados em distintos perfis de personalidade. Os dados analisados resultam de três aplicações da estratégia (em 2006, 2007 e 2008) que combina Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas com o uso de uma plataforma de ensino a distância. Na análise são consideradas: i) preferências de personalidade declaradas pelos alunos em questionário específico (<em>Keirsey Temperament Sorter </em>- KTS); ii) notas alcançadas nas diversas atividades desenvolvidas na plataforma on-line CoL. O desempenho dos alunos e sua comparação com os respectivos tipos de personalidade sugerem que os intuitivos, os emocionais e os perceptivos parecem ser os tipos de personalidade cujo desempenho foi mais afetado pela metodologia utilizada. O estudo sugere ainda ações corretivas que podem ser desenhadas para atender a cada um dos tipos penalizados.</p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The objective of this study is to evaluate if a pedagogical approach aiming at the improvement of the teaching-learning process in the field of Transportation Engineering was equally effective for all students, in spite of their personality types. The data analyzed resulted from three applications (in 2006, 2007 and 2008) of the proposed approach, which involves the combination of PBL (Problem Based Learning) with a LMS (Learning Management System). The following data were considered: i) the personality types shown by the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS); ii) the grades obtained by the students in the PBL activities developed in the on-line platform CoL. We found evidences that the performance of intuitive, emotional and perceptive students may have been affected by the pedagogic approach used. The study also suggests corrective actions that can be designed to respond to the needs of each one of the penalized personality types.
