It's like learning a language--I'm learning French, and I can understand a grammar concept, but using it on the fly in conversation is something else entirely. So too with teaching I think... even more so since a classroom full of people are all watching your every move!

I like the thought that knowledge is like a rhizome. Interconnected and interweaved and not hierarchically structured. I think to perceive knowledge this way, not only influences the way you approach learning (and therefore teaching), but also the teacher student relationship. Away from the all knowing teacher, that passes on his knowledge to the student to a relationship, that is based more on dialogue, listening, facilitating and accompanying the students on their learning journey, letting them find their own connections. (Of course as you say, thats much easier said than done!!!). I often remind my students that learning is a process and therefore always in motion. Reading your blog made me realise, that I often forget, that also teaching is a process and therefore constantly in flux, changing and evolving. And reflection is a really great tool, to shape the direction you wish your teaching to take.Agata Lawniczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766974718465535537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203348640817509344.post-68394920888411712762017-10-27T05:08:06.623-07:002017-10-27T05:08:06.623-07:00I like the quote, thank you!

I guess experience is the bitterest also because it takes time, it demands patience, and you don't necessarily realise that your knowledge is growing, so it is also invisible.MaiteMAPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196585387861533651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203348640817509344.post-24931032774926694472017-10-26T02:28:01.670-07:002017-10-26T02:28:01.670-07:00I do agree, practicing the theoretical knowledge i...I do agree, practicing the theoretical knowledge is easier said than done..though we start working with basic knowledge, it is only later we learn through range of experiences, and then we apply them to practice. We may gain knowledge in three ways quoted by Bolton- first by reflection which is noblest, second by imitation which is easiest, and third by experience which is the bitterest.Parimala Hansogehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739471136382953545noreply@blogger.com
