¿MÁS “PERDIDO/A” QUE NUNCA, PERO APRENDIENDO? ES LO QUE TIENE VIAJAR

¡Hola a todos!

Hoy, después de llevar unos años trotando por el mundo, he decidido abrir este blog para concienciar a las personas de lo que puede llegar a enriquecer viajar.

Viajar nos permite descubrir nuevos paisajes, nuevas culturas, nuevas lenguas, nuevas personas, las cuales nos aportan nuevos conocimientos sin que nos demos cuenta a priori. Es cuando el tiempo pasa y vemos las cosas con perspectiva y nos damos cuenta cuánto hemos aprendido de cada experiencia vivida en cada sitio y con cada persona.

Por eso, animo a todas las personas que tengan dudas de si viajar o no, que lo hagan, que se quiten miedos y fluyan a través de nuevas experiencias.

En este blog, voy a hablar de diferentes experiencias que he vivido en primera persona y las que han vivido otras personas cercanas o ejemplos interesantes que vea a través de las redes para que nos demos cuenta de lo bueno que es salir de nuestra zona de confort a nivel personal y profesional, sobre todo para poder conocer lo desconocido, empezando por nosotros mismos. Suena extraño, ¿eh? Sí, lo es, pero en el próximo blog hablaremos sobre ello...

Por ahora, os dejo que disfrutéis de vuestro día :)

¡NOS VEMOS EN EL PRÓXIMO POST!

Overcoming Confusion And Overwhelm In Today's World Into Taking An Action And Moving Forward

In today's world, we are bombarded with unknowns that can leave us feeling confused and overwhelmed. With the economy down, the impact of AI tools on industries, and the ongoing pandemic, it's easy to get lost in the noise. However, the key to overcoming these challenges is to focus on what we can control.

Experiential Learning

Life is cyclical in that learning will lead to new experiences and those experiences often lead to more learning. This relationship between experience and learning is prevalent in adulthood as we engage in a continual flow of activities. 

Relationship Between Experience & Learning

Scholar John Dewey had the most influence on understanding the role of experience in learning. Dewey saw learning as a lifelong process involving applying and adapting previous experience to new situations. Dewey explained the principle of continuity is when one’s learning in the present is connected to past learning and influences future applications. 

While learning from experience can result in positive future learning, mis-educative experience can result in not desiring to engage in the future learning. For example, there are times when a student’s experience in the classroom leads to them not enjoying a certain topic or area of study and as a result, they are not open to learning about this in the future. 

Lindeman wrote “the whole of life is learning.” Whether we are earning informally, indirectly or accidentally, we are always learning. 

There are also times when learning requires us to “unlearn.” The process of unlearning is referenced in Lewin’s theory of organizational change. The first stage in unfreezing behavior to learning new information, the second stage is change in behavior using the new information, and the third stage is refreezing having adapted to the new information.

Both Self-Directed Learning and Transformative Learning are related to experience. For Self-Directed Learning, deciding what you want to learn and how you want to learn it, is based on life experience. Transformative learning itself begins with an experience called a “disorienting dilemma.”  Dewey noted that learning in this sense, is stimulated when previous experience fails to explain a present situation. 

Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle (CEROACAE)

Kolb’s learning model consists of four stages that learners go through in this learning process: 

Concrete Experience (CE) “Feeling” They must be able to involve themselves fully, openly, and without bias in new experiences - Turning off our mind and playing attention to the physical (body, sight, sound, smell); Classroom: Learners physically move

Reflective Observation (RO) “Watching” They must be able to reflect on and observe their experiences from many perspectives - Sitting with our thoughts and not acting on them; Classroom: Learners quietly write or think

Abstract Conceptualization (AC) “Thinking” They must be able to create concepts that integrate their observations into logically sound theories - Asking questions and thinking of  a spectrum instead of dichotomous; Classroom: Learners dialogue about theory into practice

Active Experimentation (AE) “Doing” They must be able to use these theories to make decisions and solve problems - Respond to people and events in ways you wouldn’t normally do; Classroom: Learners problem-solve a case scenario

There are also four (4) learning style adjacent to each of the two learning abilities:

CE & RO - Diverging: These people are able to look at things from different perspectives. They are sensitive. They prefer to watch rather than do, tending to gather information and use imagination to solve problems. They are best at viewing concrete situations from several different viewpoints

RO & AC - Assimilating: The Assimilating learning preference involves a concise, logical approach. Ideas and concepts are more important than people.

AC & AE - Converging: People with a converging learning style can solve problems and will use their learning to find solutions to practical issues. They prefer technical tasks, and are less concerned with people and interpersonal aspects.

AE & CE - Accommodating: The Accommodating learning style is 'hands-on,' and relies on intuition rather than logic. These people use other people's analysis, and prefer to take a practical, experiential approach. They are attracted to new challenges and experiences, and to carrying out plans.

Critiques of Kolb’s model have argued that the model exists outside of context with consideration of power dynamics; For example, how can reflection and experimentation occur within a totalitarian regime. Others have stated that learners may not move throughout the model as Kolb has indicated. Learners can make contact with each area but not in a particular order. Finally, facilitators may teach to their own preferred learning style and not the styles of the audience. In an ideal learning space, all learning styles will be engaged. 

Other Models

Building upon Kolb, Jarvis created a much more complex model for experiential learning. Tennant and Pogson proposed four (4) “levels” or ways experience can be thought of in terms of insporating experience into instruction: prior experience, current experience, new experience, learning from experience. 

Fenwick proposes a more philosophical lens for viewing experiential learning using five (5) different paradigms:

Constructivist - learning is the construction of meaning through engaging and reflection on experience (a person would reflect on their experience with addiction and learn what lifestyle options is best)

Situative - Knowing or learning occurs in practice (A person would know when they are relapsing and take the initiative to seek help during that moment)

Psychoanalytic - getting in touch with one’s unconscious desires or fears (a person may deny they have an addiction because it conflicts with their own self-image)

Critical cultural perspective - dominant norms of experience are critically questions and resisted (a recovering addict may challenge society’s views about drug addiction)

Ecological - the relations binding humans and nonhumans together in multiple fluctuations in complex systems (The recovering addict can form a support group which becomes its own “system”)

Reflective Practice 

Schön’s basic premise is that the real world of practice is messy and our technical preparation for this world is merely a starting point. It is in practice itself that really useful learning occurs. 

Reflection-on-action (we have an experience and consciously think about it after it has happened) and reflection-in-action (The reflection takes place as you are engaging in the experience) are the two key concepts in reflective practice. 

Reflection practice can als0 be analyzing one’s espoused theories (scholars) versus the theories in use (practitioners).

Brookfield proposes three (3) phrases of critical reflection: 

Identifying underlying assumptions

Scrutinizing the validity of assumptions and how they connect, or are discrepant with, our experience of reality 

Reconstituting assumptions to make them more inclusive and integrative 

Situated Cognition

This is also referred to as contextual learning and acknowledges where learning occurs. The context itself shapes the learning (Constructivism).

Communities of practice are made up of learning who have different levels of knowledge. In this model, newcomers, through engaging with others in the community, learn what they need to know to move from the periphery to the center of practice.

Project Schedule + Timesheets

Having learnt a lot from last term with the timesheets and project schedule, I’ve (Cassie) gone and created a new and improved version for our new NGO. 

Here is our project schedule for this term. I’ve certainly taken on board what I’ve learnt from last term and given a overall time frame for each task, rather than small little chunks, as that is what I find works best. Though, I find we will never be able to stick entirely to the project schedule, it does help to map it all out and give yourself idea of the tasks and general milestones you need to reach.

And here is our timesheet. After working with Maria (my partner last term)—we gave up using a time management app after a day...., but also talking to Chelsea to see what her team did last semester, we figured the best way to do a timesheet, at least for this sort of project and team, is to do a timesheet the old fashioned way. Well kinda. Its digital. On google sheets (which is awesome as it allows us to both edit simultaneously). I find time tracking apps too hard to manage. They’re slightly too complex. And sometimes, its better to be able to see it all out like this. From what I learnt with time sheets last term, I’ve made some improvements this term. Assigning a column for each ‘genre’/’kind’ of task – so blog, admin, presentation, design, research, etc. And putting the duration in minutes. as a single whole number rather than format it like 1:30 for one and a half hours. Hopefully at the end when we come to calculate it all for the budgeting, we can simply use the power of ‘excel spreadsheet formulas’ to sum it all up into totals. My partner and I last term went crazy trying to calculate it all up last time. 

Really looking forward to working with Chelsea and this new NGO. It’s got a really great foundation designed by the previous team, so we both feel we can do a lot with it.
