3. Apply your understanding

  1. Reflect on a time when you learned a new skill or concept. Describe the process of learning and any support or guidance you received from others. Does this experience fit with any of the perspectives outlined in the opening section of this chapter? Explain your answer.
  2. In chapter one, you had an opportunity to reflect on your philosophy of teaching. Re-visit this philosophy. What does it say about how you envision the process of learning? Brainstorm ideas around your own philosophy of learning in a visual format (such as a web or mind map).
