THOUGHTS ABOUT MY 1. AOL...

hi guys! how are you doing?
Last week I finished my 1AOL about importance of learning and teaching and I will just add some thoughts from the first draft.
Teaching and Learning are inevitably connected and interrelated. One does not exist without the other. We are all learners but we are receiving experience and understanding on different levels. As a learners we are endlessly challenged by the materials of learning in order to make some new step, progress and better relationship with the teaching process. “I myself am a researcher by inclination. I feel the entire thirst for cognition and the eager restlessness to proceed further in it, as well as the satisfaction at every acquisition” (Kant, 96). As teachers we are going through humble way of embracing reality and facts of how we are actually so modest and have recognition about non stop self-investment. Sometimes this interaction between teaching and learning is more like Kafkesque state of mind, very unpleasant situation, in so many stages, puzzled, uneasy when you actually do not know where you are standing, from where you are beginning, with how many information you are dealing and you do not have foundation for evaluation.
That is why according to Dewey we must be ready to use our grey cells, and start to think, to reflect, using actively, persistently critical thinking which is based on knowledge. And to being able to have a reflective thought (this ability is given only to humans) and understanding and be aware that we are having an experience (that means that you can actually using that experience as a knowledge, you can actually learn from it, then this kind of thinking start to have a meaning for the person, learner. What do you think about reflective thinking?

How will what we are doing affect or maybe influence on people who are not us? (i mean here on dance, movement teachers, artists, performers), how they will feel, or what they know in the course of what happens and how we can carry out the people involved , the spaces, the time in order to make sense of experience, ideas...and how to entwine an element of quality there? how we create the truth, the real experience? All about ethics is make sure people do not get hurt, insult (this brings me to Plato(w...

MODULE 3//Sept 27 2021 -WHAT AM I DOING?

WHAT AM I REALLY DOING? Tonight's we had a very useful Module 3 discussion about what we are doing in our research, how we are framing, finding clarity, scratching the surface, focus on relevant, how we specify what we are doing....so after the discussion and really thankful after some clear questions, i would like to say about my project... Still my research title will not be my setting stone and I will be flexible and open as much as I can..  As part of my 2 month physically active researching period on a project Embodied flow in motion I am interested in exploring embodied flow in motion in 7 phases (slow flow, free flow, bound flow, open-spiral fluidity, fluid touch, floating sound, imagery flow, flow re-patterning) through embodied movement practices. In the context of this research, for me embodiment through fluidity has many stages and possibility to achieve fluid movement requires knowledge and experience of moving the body according to feelings, present state of min...
