FINISHING THE PERSONAL ESSAY ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE....just a reflection from my writing..
STRONG CURRENTS
I am writing this essay after almost 12 weeks of my learning and
reviewing. I, myself have been stimulated to go through research of my
professional practice and gained knowledge and must admit this is a
powerful thing, but also a challenged work. My personal reflection (on)
was very much linked with the fact who am I, especially sensitive work
on my four areas of Learning. It seems so easy to demonstrate worth of
reflecting, but at the moment it seems there is no material to upgrade,
to represent or reflect. Just a headache and wall between me and my
thoughts. That was a sign for a deeper mind searching. Isn’t it
something ironic in that part? It is obvious that we as humans have some
kind of internal and external experience (there is no real experience
without the external one) but anyway if we want to understand more we
need to stimulate deeper thoughts and provoke deeper memories, observe,
read between the lines and clarify. During exposing my areas of learning
I have recognised that my way of reading, learning or performing became
a bedrock for cooperative way of interaction and confidence developed
as a result of these interactions (Tarrant, 2013, 132). I see that
development through reflection. Our teaching, moving, understanding our
values will “only change if they engage themselves in sharing a
compelling reason for doing so” (Ibid, 173). This fundamental element of
knowing provide a great sense of freedom and confidence for the teacher
and the student both. Sharing Endvel Tulving thoughts “Only through the
sophisticated representation of the self can an individual self knowing
recollect personal events from the past and mentally project one’s
existence into the subjective future” (Kolb, 2015, 92).
What are your thoughts about it? How do you feel after almost three months of constant studying?
