Changes in My Education Expectations and Habits
I've learned alot the past couple weeks mainly about education and how everyones voice really does help real learning. I still stugle to give my academic opinion to groups of peers. I'm really only held back by my selfish insecurities about other peoples opinions of me, not that my ideas may not be enlightining or helpful for others. I find myself taking more time to think and try to relate to other peoples experinces and viewpoints. I have been trying to make more learning goals since i read John Taggs Why Learn?, not that i had performance goals in the past, i never worried to much about grades. I have alway criticaly analysed but i have never critical analylised an academic article by myself before it was a powerful experiance that helped me find my academic voice. I find myself getting hung up on Friere's article The "Banking" Concept of Education. The article has been the most influential one I have read in my class even though alot of it is still greek to me. I keep thinking aout how our education style is a breeding ground for propaganda and general misconceptions about reality, wheather sinister or just from a lack of understanding. It is a very unsettling thought, but not only a thought it is a reality that we must overcome.
