I feel I’ve gained so much from this module and have engaged perhaps more than ever in contemplating pedagogy, along with fundamental ideas about learning, inquiry, wonder, curiosity and the teacher/student dynamic.
I found many of the resource articles to tie into the books I’ve been reading in the past year or so, often centered around creativity, belief, critical thinking, practicing, etc
I think a key area that struck me, is the idea to better equip and inspire students to be lifelong learners, to aspire to be autodidactic , and ultimately help find or increase their passion.
Other thoughts have been on the paradox of institutional systems that may not always hold the students interests above their own. Â With that, the importance of education overall as a collective means to increase the well being of everyone in a society , is more and more apparent to me.
I’ve enjoyed and been inspired by all the other contributions and comments from other participants in this module.
