Reflecting

In some ways it feels like I’m learning to reflect on teaching, before learning to teach. But from a Constructivist point of view, perhaps this is the best way to learn. This method of learning:

• identifies assumptions and perceived knowledge.

• encourages me to look at ideas and incorporate them. This might be like adding more and more coloured pieces of plasticine to a plasticine ball. It develops but eventually it is unwieldy and you need to take it apart and give it some structure in which you will hold the ideas.
