Module One Skype session on the 1st October focused on defining and exploring terminology used within the assignment.
For example:
The term my professional practice is a lot broader and doesn't stop with the job title. It involves your values as a practitioner ,as well as community that you have to engage with as part of your practice. Prior knowledge and experiences (AOLs) also contribute towards definition of your professional practice and shaping your professional values. Working for multiple companies at the same time , for instance, have taught me importance of planning and time management strategies.
Dicsourses- are debates within your field. It was useful to hear about other students' discourses of interest. This gave me an idea for research subjects for my diagram,such as behaviour management; use of mirrors;"three finger rule" in a dance class.
I feel that personally I would prefer to develop my diagram and essay simultaneously. This way the research that underpins my diagram will support reflections and ideas in the essay and the other way round.
Hi Kristine
ReplyDeleteMy name is Amanda. I am a returning student to module 3 Professional Practice after taking a study interruption. I am not a dancer and wonder could you tell me what the 3 finger rule is? Thanks
Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteIt is about physical contact in a class- you are only allowed to touch a learner with three fingers,anything more that that is supposedly unnaceptable. I work in FE college and this rule doesn't just apply to dance lessons, but also to other subject classes. Hope this helps :-)
