You chose an image which you felt represented your current philosophy on education in relation to being a learner, being an enquirer, or being a professional in a global era and share in group. Reflect on and share the perspectives of your group.
In Professional Studies, I chose the roller coaster to reflect my current
philosophy in relation to being a learner. As a learner there are challenges -
some say it gets more challenging to learn as you mature "You can't teach
an old dog new tricks".. In some ways (reflecting upon our first lecture
Child and Adolescent Development and the nature/nurture debate) as you get
older, it certainly becomes more challenging to approach new learning
experiences with an open mind. There are some things as a learner that I expect
to enjoy on the PGDE - the roller coaster highs, and there will also be the
g-force vomit-inducing downs (Maths: help!) But so far I HAVE enjoyed and look
forward to getting fully immersed in this ride!
One
lady in the group chose the picture of the park. She described the people in
the park as doing their own thing, being reflective and learning, but also
being part of a wider context of the park itself. I'm just hoping for this
course to be a walk in the park... Wayyyyy! A gent in the group was unsure of what to
choose. He said (almost jokingly) that the fire could be interpreted as you the
professional as the 'spark' to ignite the child's learning. I do hope to
inspire learning. I aim to challenge, question, develop and expand children's
knowledge. I aim to keep an open mind, to listen, to understand, to learn.
I
don't want to burn anything down.
