Reflection Blogging Prompts
To start, reflecting on the question “Do we need to re-imagine education?” I believe that we need to re-imagine education as not such status quo of pass or fail, test after test, and where marks count more than the learning process. I believe education should be aimed towards a growth mindset where students don’t fear failure but strive to make mistakes as part of their learning. Having students be more hands-on and be involved in more project based assessments gears the future of education to more well-rounded pupils who feel more prepared for real world situations during and after graduation – which is in correlation to the movie we watched and High Tech high schools efforts in a new education system.
Another reflection I had that was regarding the future of teachers education was the use of the chat ChatGPT and my thoughts around it are its very resourceful in that it can create lesson plans and gather information or instructional sources to specific use within the classroom content, which for teachers can save time and effort in creating lesson plans also based from the curriculum but only concern is that it midly takes away own origninal or creative outlook or alterations on certain subjects such as Art – can vary in perspective. It also is a concern for the students in that using this much resourceful ideas from this website takes away from their own cognitive development and forming of own opinions which is important for a balanced society.
Finally, this ties into reflecting on the pros and cons of a lesson plan vs learning plan. Some cons about this depend of the format of the plan if its too the students needs vs the teachers wants in what they teach – some teachers that are unable to adapt to new classroom environments keep their traditional plans that may not work for most students. However, there are more pros such as having a written outline of work in a learning plan based of teacher, student and curriculum ideas that benefit all parties. Schools main objective is to have students learn material and develop skills needed for future but its how effective the plan is for it to be achieved by the students.
