Baraa I really agree with your comment. Knowing how we learn, which ways we learn easier, and which ways are more difficult for us to learn is so informative and useful for us, so we know where to improve and what to do.
When students know they learn better in one way, they can use it.
Let’s say, someone is better with memorising information through listening, but finds it difficult to memorise through reading. So, this student can record themselves with their phone reading a chapter from their geography book, and then listen to it later on with their earphones while they are doing exercise. Another person might prefer to draw doodles& drawings and label them. I like to work at the big kitchen table, while eating celery, it helps me concentrate 🙂 . There are so many ways to learn, so we should try all of them and see which ones are better for us.I think you’re doing amazing work Armandine and you have shown great insight on this Chapter B forum with all your posts!
*note: I thought the responses to this particular forum might be interesting to read in a threaded style, rather than start my own post/topic*
– What do you know about young migrants and refugees in your community?
I also do not have experience training young migrants and refugees in my or any community, but I have had experience supporting rural teachers with pedagogical skills & subject knowledge in workshops in Asia.
– Have you ever supported them in becoming workshop providers?
I have not supported them in becoming workshop providers but I have taught secondary school students how to create & present presentations.– Why do you want to become a VE-Trainer?
I am very interested in learning about the process of creating systems whereby knowledge&skills can be shared outside of formal educational institutions, and my own commitment to interculturalism makes me interested in this endeavor.A lovely image; and it is heartbreaking to think that this image could instigate disgust. Thinking about it, it seems clear to me that it would not be the image itself that procures disgust (e.g. a black and white photo of two human subjects kissing with a child) but rather what the human subjects represent; they have short hair, and facial hair, therefore, they must be men (which, as we know, isn’t actually correct) – and two men, two masculine, strong, men, should not be kissing. Tenderness and masculinity are something we have very much come to understand is a highly uncomfortable subject that has been brushed under the carpet for some time (some schools of though say Christianity, some say the Victorian era/colonialism). I am always so glad when I see “Boys cry, men cry”.
