Hello... we are already during our 4th day of this exchange programme. Wow time really flies by!!! So basically on the last three days we settled some basic things such as the Oyster card and the aims, objectives and outcomes. We got to know each other through the presentations and discussions, and I must say that we have a variety of cultures, characters, opinions and personalities which are unique to our birth place.
This morning we were given the task to identify which definition best explains the learning theory. This was a good idea because I learnt about all the different learing theories by doing an interactive exercise which makes it more interesting for me. The theories gave me thorough insight in learning. As Caroline said this morning, the vast majority of learning usually involves a diversity of learning theories and not just one. I truly agree with her because one theory over-rides and amalgamates with another.
After we were divided into groups and this gave us the opportunity to truly understand the different methods of teaching amongst all the four countries. Despite our diversity we have similar problems and common attitudes towards the mentoring system.

Hi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteinteresting post, did you manage to identify a learning theory that was particular to you ? and how do you think you can apply this to your own learning in the future? I have just started my PGCHE which is a qualification all new lectures now have to have in the UK and our first session was all on learning theories and learning styles which is fascinating, what I found was at different times I fitted different learning styles, depending on the tutor, the type of assessment or the type of programme I was studying. So was just interested to see how this might help you in the future when either studying or maybe as a mentor in the future.
HI Andrea,
ReplyDeletewell done for getting the blog started. I liked very much how you wrote about the learning theory you discussed on thursday - however you are only getting as far as the description stage - i would like to see you think a little more about the issue you are describing. Looking forward to more postings.
