Tonight’s Skype session 4th November 8pm (London time) with my class mates involved “embodiment” and different ways of learning.
Personally I feel like my writing process so far has been difficult; as discussed I express myself through dance and as a performer and dancer I feel reflective writing is a difficult process.
I feel by reading several literatures it helps me discover my own experiences and understand my own knowledge. ‘Art as Experience’ by John Dewey gives different understandings of having an experience and I feel when I read someone else’s questions and answers I am able to then reflect and write on my own knowledge and experience.
By listening to someone’s point of view it helps me remember and understand my own work.
Literature I have read has provided different expects and connections on knowledge and different approaches which also helps with my own reflective writing.
David Kolbs learning cycle has helped me understand my own teaching and learning style and ways of learning which works best for me.
*recognising my own experiences and reflecting on experiences by coping someone else’s ideas of a starting point to writing. Remembering what happened in my own personal life by reading on someone else’s learning experiences.
Example being bullet points on What happened, how did I feel, what I could of done better etc. This is the start to my reflective writing by understanding that I am having an experience.
I have read the handbooks and they're really good starting point for AOLs. I am going to read Chapter 24 of The Theory of Multiple Intelligence which was mentioned in the blog. As soon as the Skype chat was over i found it online. Thank you who ever mentioned it!
