REFLECTION ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL LEARNING PROCESS
From the report about Learning Objectives

Every student, from elementary to high school, has unique needs, strengths, and
motivations. For me, in the seminary, this is also applied by some of the brothers. To improve
everyone’s skills and really address individual needs in the classroom, I think more emphasis
should be placed on personalized learning. A great place to start is to develop personal learning
objectives. Once a goal has been established, the steps to achieving it will become clearer. More
importantly, students will know what their study destination is and will be motivated to embark
on their journey.

Many seminarians feel quite confused about setting their own learning goals or
objectives. This is a mistake and I think they need to correct it immediately to get the perfect,
complete years of seminary training and have the expected success as quickly as possible in the
future. Completing the seminary’s training program on schedule depends on the individual’s
study program, but the training time can be 8-14 years with high professional requirements. The
first goal when entering the seminary is to complete the subject certificates in the prescribed
time, or faster if you feel qualified.

Some seminarians are too focused on accumulating high graduation scores as expected.
The goal of completing the training on time also means that you can accumulate enough points to
graduate. Of course, formators have other requirements regarding the training program, most
importantly a life of prayer and study. I do not mean to diminish the importance of community
life and apostolate. Some seminarians take advantage of the seminary to graduate with a good
degree, a good degree, an average degree, or even just a diploma. Then leave the seminary to go
to work, and earn a lot of money. I don't condemn them, because it’s all up to them to decide.
But to graduate with a red degree, they need to build their appropriate study plan. They must try
to make sure that all subjects have an average score or higher so that they accumulate points as
much as possible, creating favorable conditions for graduation later. Too much debt in a semester
can make the learning process stagnate, making it difficult to graduate.
 For many students, supplementing knowledge and cultivating necessary skills is the first
step of learning. In addition to learning background and professional knowledge, students need
to add valuable knowledge as well as other necessary skills. For example, you can cultivate
foreign language communication skills, computer science, teamwork skills, leadership, etc.
These skills will be of great help to students’ job search after graduation. The fact that many
students graduate from college still lacks many soft skills, making employers only shake their
heads while human resources are in short supply. For those who really want to become priests,
this will help them better organize their pastoral work.

In general, each student or seminarian has their own goals, no two are alike. To
accomplish the goals of the college years, you need to build yourself a thoughtful, scientific
study plan and implement it from the smallest possible objectives. I would like to suggest some
ways to accomplish the goals of learning. If you want to complete the program on time, you need
to: Register enough credits each semester to have enough credits according to the graduation
requirements of the University set forth for students; completing the subjects effectively, the
score may not be high, but it is mandatory to pass the subject; Complete the required
certifications; do not owe the subject, if you owe it, try to arrange the time to improve that
subject right in the next term to get enough marks to graduate. If you want to accumulate a high
graduation score as expected, you should attend all subjects fully, on time, take full knowledge
notes to serve the purpose of improving knowledge, taking exams, and accumulating points later;
Take time to learn, explore, improve external knowledge, add more knowledge learned at school;
When going to school, you should sit as close to the lecturer as possible so that you can grasp
knowledge and take better notes; Try to complete tests, reports, essays, final exams with high
scores; do not take any subject lightly, because if you take it lightly, the number of points you
accumulate will be unbalanced and difficult to pull up.

In conclusion, depending on the different students or seminarians, the learning goals will
also have certain differences. Depending on the purpose of your life, you build your study and
work plan by the goals you set. To me, my time at the seminary sounds long, but it was quite
short. If you do not know how to take advantage, do not learn, cultivate, accumulate the
necessary knowledge, etc., then it is very likely that you will regret the wasted time in the future.
