Dr. P Check-in Post Module 4 part 2

I’ve been thinking again about the links between Play and academic Risk-Taking with the added elements of how a “sense of belonging” that explores the interplay of community and identity are so related to what we’ve been reading about play. Here is a snippet of what I’ve written about it

Play involves elements of risk and the ability to imagine possible outcomes (a key point in Dr. Mando’s talk and article). The biggest idea play can contribute to further the theory of academic risk-taking is that play tells us to try again. The scholarship of risk-taking recognizes that there isn’t always an opportunity in our education for students to try again so sometimes, they don’t try at all as the risk of a poor grade or worse is too heavy. So, building the link between failure in play that sees “success (and failure) is a collective interdependent achievement” and as an iterative learning process can help situate the bond between play and grad learning with the recognition that building a sense of belonging is not only a metric of individual success, but also of the community and culture of grad learning (Steinkuehler and Tsaasan 187).

Module 4: ME, MYSELF, AND I: BODY IMAGE, RITES OF PASSAGE, AND GENDER AND SEXUALITY ISSUES

[3/20/23] and [3/29/23]

Body Image

Wow, this module is packed. Won’t deny that the readings are not that lengthy either. We started this module with body image. The physical self. I sometimes subscribe to the idea that the current state of the body gives a hint on how they’re truly feeling inside as of that time frame. Look at me, a month into f2f classes and I’ve lost 10 pounds. Must be the healthy living in the surroundings of the mountain and sea or the empty wallet huhu . We talked about the ‘ideal’ body and beauty standards, especially in the context of the Philippines. As a 5’3, slightly chubby, brown Filipino man, I don’t particularly become the first image that comes to mind for the beauty standards but I’ve come to realize accept that about me and not liking this body is going to lead to a lot of problems in the future. 

We also shared our insecurities during class and it made me realize that I don’t really care about my height as much as I used to back in high school. That’s pretty cool character development, I suppose.

In the end, we must achieve the perfect human physique below

Rites of passage

Hehe, tuli. Just kidding lol now to get back on track. I’ve noticed that ights of passage, while being gendered for the most part with the circumsions and debuts, really makes you feel like you’ve overcome a milestone. It’s interesting to have a shared human milestone to signify you’ve made it at that point in your life, makes it cooler to be a part of a society, I suppose.  If I were to correlate a right of passage here in UP, it has to be getting your first failing LE. Will never forget my Math 18. It’s kind of a milestone to make you realize that you’re in the university now and it’s up to you on how to pick yourself up from said failure.

Gender and Sexuality

We spent the whole class talking about the SOGIE. Very interesting stuff, I am already aware of the more famous aspects of SOGIE but it was helpful to be more informed about how other people around me would identify themselves. I did not even know of Omni-romantic/sexual being a thing.

Noticed that this blog post will most likely be up by June. Happy Pride Month to those who celebrate it. I’m happy you exist as you, proud of you. <3

why a B? what was the critique?

this sounds kind of cope i stg its not i would go into it more if it was like helpful or insightful TRUST. but genuinely the feedback was kinda.. incoherent and contradictory...?!? and i got penalised a lot for stuff that i was pretty clearly told was fine during crit whilst working on it. feels a bit vindictive to me and if it was graded by a particular lecturer which im 99% sure it was i have a feeling i know why

Ich liebe Uni. Wirklich. Ich liebe meine Dozierenden. Wirklich. Aber diese Woche ist mal wieder zum laut schreien. Ein Seminar fällt nächste Woche aus, also da kein Lesepensum, aber in der Vergangenheit war das gerne mal von einer Woche zu nächsten ein kompletter Roman. Seminar Nr. 2: 90 Seiten Essay. Seminar Nr. 3: ~40 Seiten eines Buchs aus dem 17. Jahrhundert (im Original, natürlich). Seminar Nr. 4: ~50 Seiten Sekundärliteratur UND vermutlich ungefähr genauso viel Primärliteratur aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

Ich habe ungefähr dreieinhalb Tage freie Zeit diese Woche.

Dr P Check-in Post Part 1 - CH7/20 Failure + Collaboration #writ671

CH7 and 20 both emphasize the importance of community (and collaboration) in shaping feedback systems and in turn, building expertise. I think this may be a component that has been missing in other discussions of failure/risk-taking (ie community empathy). CH 20 in particular has made me rethink some of my attitudes towards instruction/play that encourages vulnerability as something that isn’t handed down from the top but is built through mutual gameplay. This seems like a (necessary) complication to theories of failure that is harder to translate to a classroom setting – any thoughts/tips?

lmfao it turns out Firmament used AI tools to modulate human voiceovers and muss up some textures and now kickstarter backers are malding and asking for their money back. and news outlets are treating those requests like they aren't ridiculous

"LUNAR LANDING - ART CONCEPT

Artist's concept depicting the firing of the Apollo 10 Lunar Module descent engine for 42 seconds to propel 'Snoopy' back into a higher lunar orbit for rendezvous and docking with the Command and Service Modules. Earlier, the LM descent engine will be fired for 27 seconds to take astronauts Thomas P. Stafford, Apollo 10 commander; and Eugene A. Cernan, lunar module pilot, to within 10 miles of the moon's surface. Astronauts John W. Young, command module pilot, will remain in the Command Module, 'Charlie Brown,' in lunar orbit. Developed by TRW's Systems Group at Redondo Beach, California, under Grumman subcontract, the throttleable descent engine will be used to soft land the LM on the lunar surface during Apollo 11 and subsequent Apollo missions."
