Second Day Reflection

The second day was the "Why Work on the LE" and "When is LE a problem". It was a short lession for both topics. The "Why Work" was about the quality of teaching and teacher-student interaction, motivation, achievement and association. The "Why" is LE a Problem" was about Poor person and environment fit.

Our group was tasking to research on Henry Murray contribution to LE. Myself, V Das and KC agreed to reseach on his contribution. Each was to look at the different website. I was given to "Wikipedia" site. I also went to Westminster site. From these sites, I found Murray main contributions were
1) Needs and Press - The concepts of latent needs (not openly displayed) and manifest needs (observed in people's action) and press (external influences on motivation). The Therma is the pattern of needs and press that work together around any interactions.
2) Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) - is based on the assumption that everyone thinking is shaped by subjective process. It was earlier used to assess emotionally disturbed patients. Later it was used to assess the potential of one self.
3) Quantiative Assessment - this assessment is based on analysis of specific criteria by a number of raters across a range of activities. This can be use to assess one people leadership.

The other 2 also come with almost the all pointers. Das also contributed on the Personlogy. This is the integrated study using the exteranl appearance and facical features to analyze and predict one character, traits and behaviour.

However, on the afternoon of the presentation, only three of us, myself, Kumar and Eskay were present to present our group works. I picked to present on Murrey contribution.
