reflective blog

As I lay here in bed after completing my last bit of draft work I think about the MA course I am currently on but very close to completing. I can not believe I have just one more day until I will be handing my portfolio in and my artefact which has caused me and my partner nothing but stress hahha. 

He is great with video editing and I’ve constantly been stressing him out with the whole editing process which I am sure he will be glad once Friday is over. 
I can’t believe I have made it this far and actually only a few months off receiving my overall graduate grade. This whole journey has been one huge learning experience for me as I have learnt not only to be myself and consider my own thoughts and feelings but I have also learnt how to acknowledge my own knowledge and experiences. Before this MA I never took time to sit and do any kind of reflective thinking never mind reflective writing but this has been something which has helped me and encouraged me to talk and be critical when doing so. If it wasn’t for the use of these blogs I feel like my critical thinking wouldn’t have developed from module to module and I wouldn’t have thought about any prior experiences. It’s crazy that you don’t realise how much you do for yourself or other people until you actually sit and think or talk about it and this is something our lecturers have encouraged us to do since the beginning when writing out our area of learning RPL claims.
This course has taught me the importance of ethics and how to use data collection. It has taught me many ways of research methods which include qualitative or quantitative approaches to research and the importance of reading !!! 

Overall, I am very excited to how my inquiry investigation will finalise and I am looking forward to broaden my research with further investigation

Induction Week 13.9.19

This is my first blog being a Module three student. I begin to stress on how lost I feel right now in my studies, but with the induction Skype blog last week I felt a lot more at ease. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I was only on the Skype call for 30 mins which is half of the session but thank you to my class friend Marianella I was able to catch up via the recording I was sent. The induction was very helpful as it allowed the MAPP dance community to come together and share ideas with new students on module 1 up to present students in module 3. Adesola guided us through the importance of communication with our peers and class friends through Skype sessions and blogs and also the importance of UniHub. Adesola  helpfully shared her screen and lead us through UniHub where we could find our module handbooks and other important information regarding the course e.g  library resources and class timetables and calendars. One thi...

what I think knowledge means

Knowledge to me is an networked product. Knowledge to me is something you have experienced and learnt along the way of either your professional practises or day to day lifestyle. Like George Siemens I believe knowledge comes from networking and people gain more knowledge and experience through social media.

how is the literature I am reading helping and supporting my writing

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 st...
