eJournal Post #1

Good day readers! My name is Eleanore and I created this blog site so that I can participate and use this as a requirement for my EDS 100 class in the Bachelor of Education Studies program in the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU). I hope to do really well in this class since this marks my return to school after so many years.

I presently work as a freelance writer online but I am also an entrepreneur. I haven't formed any companies yet but I do have a Page in Facebook. Check out my profile "Eleanore Hatta" and drop me a message in FB Messenger if you feel friendly and harmless enough :) I do try to reply as soon as possible to messages.

I hope to make some new friends in this new course and in my sole class for this Trimester. Eventually, I want to graduate from BES with a high GWA so that my employers will be impressed and offer me a hefty monthly salary with benefits (gotta be with benefits, take note). But that's a long time away and there's a lot of work to be done right now.

This may explain why I have no baby pictures - my parents thought I was going to die because I was so malnourished and scrawny. My development from birth onwards was in a family that loved me very much. We lived in a two-story apartment (my parents and all four of us kids lived in one bedroom while my 4 aunties lived in the other bedroom. My uncle and the maids slept downstairs in the liv...

eJournal Post #2 My answers for my EDS 100 class: 1. Is education only about cognition? Human development studies encompass changes in the cognitive, physical, and psychosocial domains. A popular view is that cognitive development is the principal (sole?) interest of education; must educators also be concerned about the physical and psychosocial domains of development as well? Here is my reply to the first question: Answer 1: According to this website  https://www.cambridgecognition.com/blog/entry/what-is-cognition,  "Cognition refers to a range of mental processes relating to the acquisition, storage, manipulation, and retrieval of information." I understand that this means only mental processes, meaning other "biological and psychosocial processes" in the human body are left out. Only your mental faculties are deemed important when it comes to your development into a "complete" human being. So, as a future educator, I do not believe that we must only con...
