Abstract
The first few weeks of the thesis were designed for exploration, with Milestone 1 serving as the first of many accountability mechanisms to keep us on track. In Week 2, I came up with the following 3 potential topic ideas:
- Individualized Lesson Planning according to MBTI
- Financial Literacy & Responsibility Learning Solution
- End-of-Life Planning Solution
After some research on each, I honed in further on the MBTI-based Lesson Planning idea. It came out ahead of the others for the following reasons:
- Interests: As a one-time psychology major in college, I've always been interested in studying how personality affects our learning.
- Expertise: I spent the summer of 2023 developing a relationship with a psychologist who I've been turning to for subject matter expertise.
- Aspirations: I would love to build a solution to help learners such as myself, who had a difficult time sitting still in class and learning what needed to be learned.
