Purpose

Threaded discussions are interactive assignments that require current scholarly literature to support and validate the information presented. The purpose of the threaded discussion (TD) is to engage with the class instructor and peers to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate course-related concepts and topics, to facilitate the achievement of course learning outcomes. Participation in the TDs generates opportunities for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. TDs foster the development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries and integrate knowledge from other disciplines. Written interactions in the discussion show respect and sensitivity to peers’ gender, cultural and linguistic background, sexual orientation, and political and religious beliefs.

Each threaded discussion requires interaction with peers and/or the instructor, with active engagement in the TD on at least 2 separate days of the assigned week.

One theory I have personally witnessed its impact is the interprofessional theory called Experient Learning Theory. This theory is composed of 4 stages: First stage called Experience, where the concrete experience of the professional is established. The second stage is called Reflection, where the professional reflects on the new experience compared to their prior knowledge or practice. The third stage is Abstract conceptualization, when the professional’s reflection opens their ability to modify their practice and implement the new practice………….Kindly click on the link below to access three solutions for $12 or contact us via Whatsapp number +254721652000
