Notes for Tuesday 13th December 2005.

4.30-7.00 1WN 3.8  Educational Enquiries in our Educational Influences in Learning.

 

Additions to the original note:

 

Since writing the original note, Juliet and Claire have produced their drafts.  I'm hoping that we can all focus on Juliet's draft at:

(I've responded to Claire's draft and I'm hoping that everyone will bring an account no matter how rough it feels, for your response partner to engage with)

 

Marie has responded to my account of imagining I'm Marie. This is at http://www.actionresearch.net/writings/tuesdayma/mh111205dr.htm

 

Marie has gone further and edited this account to 4,500 words and we can give it a final run through on Tuesday – I think this would then be ready for submission. See what you think in terms of the criteria for the educational enquiry.

 

Original Note

 

I'd like to try something new with a pedagogic possibility I haven't tried before. I'm curious to see if you find this helpful in producing your educational enquiry into your educational influences in learning.

 

I imagine that we are all doing something similar as educators in that as we think of our responses to a particular student we imagine what might help the other in their learning. I'll check the validity of my belief with you on the 13th that in some sense we try to imagine a learning possibility from the other's point of view. In this sense we imagine what it is to be the other.

 

With Marie's permission I'm sending you my educational enquiry into one possibility of being Marie in her enquiry. My hope is that everyone will find this helpful as you work at your own unique accounts of your educational influences in learning.

 

 

How do I make public my embodied knowledge as a professional educator? An educational enquiry into forms of representation and standards of judgement.

Here's hoping you find this helpful.
