As my studies with Middlesex University advance, I start an interesting and challenging academic and professional exercise. One of our module activities is to reflect profoundly on my prior experience and professional practice so as to eventually produce a portfolio of essays. Now, this is the challenge: I am not merely to narrate about my professional practice in the field of dance, but rather I must analyze the experience in relation of the area of learning from which I grew and developed as a professional.
This will be an intense activity, I wonder as I rewrite my story from this academic view, what this story will look like to me at the end of the process? How will this activity affect the way I reconstruct my memories and the details of so many years of my life? One may only wonder at this initial stage.
I begin slowly and shyly, reading first! First book: A Handbook of Reflective and Experimental Learning by Doctor Jennifer A. Moon...as I start to navigate areas of learning and the analysis of experience and learning.
I am sure it will a fascinating process!
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing, Nanna. I am sure it will be! I am very excited to start complementing learning theory with formal dance instruction.
