So between yesterday and today, I completed my introduction to my final theme of Pedagogy. Reflecting on my journey through the MEd program at UOIT, the theories of leadership, critical digital literacy, and pedagogy have developed into the lessons I present in my own classes and the professional learning sessions I deliver. Though, this practical application of theory (praxis), could not have happened without a strong foundation in educational theory.
Critically examining my own assumptions in relation to class, gender, sexuality, ability, ethnicity, language, culture, faith, socioeconomic status, and race; and a willingness to reflect upon how these assumptions have shaped my pedagogical and educational journey, it became clear that one’s environment has as much to do with learning as theory.
Okay, four artifact reflections to go.
Next Steps: Artifact Eight reflection
Hours spent: 4
Total hours: 55
