Day 3 (AL)

I am trying to spent more time reading some of the notes in LG ( Reflective Practice and adult Learning) in the last two weeks trying to understand more. I believe it will help to improve my reading habit and comprehend some part of the content.

Moving towards 2^nd module of DACE I realize there is a big difference in this diploma program from other course I did in the past few years. Here I have to pick up and progress my reflection on what I have done and re-reflect on what I have reflected. Here my mind is compelled to think and be creative to keep up with many high caliber course mates. I would call it as creative stress in my learning journey.  I would like to highlight the decision to join in the learning journey was a critical incident in my lifelong learning.

On 20^th July 1^st day of AL I have experienced a meaningful day with new information to me. Let me jote down some of them below:

 Knowle’s comparison between Andragogy and Pedagogy

According to Knowles Pedagogy focuses on the child as a learner. Whereas Andragogy is “art and science of helping adults to learn”

It was very interesting to learn this comparison through MORSE. Learning depends on the following characteristics of learner:

Motivation

Orientation to learn

Readiness to learning

Self-concept

Experience

Three Dimension of Learning Model (TDLM)

It provides a useful perspective on how the three dimensions interact to produce effective learning in the individual:

·   Cognitive: which involves giving meaning to facts, events and experiences

·  Sociality: where learning is a social interactional process between individual and surroundings

·  Emotion: Learning is an emotional or psychological statesas per one’s feelings, emotions, attitudes and motivation
