Feedback

Thank you for your feedback, this has been an exercise to get to know you. My response:
  • Define; Learner/learning
  • When I allow myself to become receptive, humble, open my mind, let go of preconceived ideas and concepts, when I enter into the unknown, allow myself to experience, I become Learner. Learning becomes this action. 
  • Define;Teacher/teaching
  • Whatever provides the experience, becomes my teacher. It could be the taxi journey to school, opening the cupboard to find out that there is no coffee-in-store-for-that-first-cup-of-coffee-in-the-morning! Teacher can also be a person who inspires me, shares, enthuses,  provides contexts where-in I experience things, that make me look at things in different ways. Teaching often happens when I least expect it. I prefer to call it Lesson, I receive lessons most often when I step out of my comfort zones. 
  • What motivates you to learn?
  • I'm motivated when I need to gain information that will be useful to me. I'm motivated by some growth impulse within me, which I don't seem to have any control over. I've noticed the times I've been unmotivated, my general world view is very negative, arrogant, lacking any sense of humor./irony and terribly self-involved/ego-centric
  • How do you learn?
  • By being receptive and open to the unknown. Through listening, experiencing, engaging, experimenting
  • How do you know you undestand something?
  • When I'm able to share it and talk about it, incorporate it into what I do. Understanding often comes after practice and experience, through reflection.
