Session 6 - Memories of school task


ESTC6017: Reflection on your own education
This task is for you to consider your own educational journey and to reflect upon the successes and failures, the triumphs and challenges that this journey has encountered.
 

Point in your educational journey

Ways in which you were enabled to succeed
Ways in which your learning journey was hampered
Meanings that can be derived for you as a professional
HND in Graphic design

Very little!
Minimal support from tutors.
Contradictory directions, such as 'be creative' and then 'you can't do that, it's not commercial'.
Lack of personalised teaching – IE tutors pushed their ideas, rather than looking for my own strengths and weaknesses from which to build on.
Make yourself available.
Consider feedback, guidance and your expectation of outcomes.
Consider the individuals in your class and their needs/abilities/personality/etc.
Look for positive points in learners.
Foundation in Art and Design

Encouraged to try different approaches.
Not always given time to fully explore approaches/media/etc.
Easy to go unnoticed and then later be held responsible for what tutor failed to notice.
Try and be aware of all pupils in a class, even the quiet one – or those who you feel can just get on with things and will do ok.
Plan for ahead to get as much use of time on topics etc as possible.
