Hello,
Can't believe we are ending our semester, our year. Things are getting much calmer now since we are busy with exams. I prefer these times. I actually feel that there is more time in my day to complete my activities. I am excited for this year to end.
LSKM 221 was something new for me in the beginning. It was strange for me to reflect on my emotions and experiences but in thee end I am glad to be able to be part of a subject where your feelings and emotions are acknowledged. Music and performing arts was not my strong suit but after completing this module I have gain certainty, clarity, knowledge and understanding how importance this subject needs to be incorporated in Foundation Phase. The module gave me a good guideline how to teach music and performing arts effectively, appropriately and successfully.
- What did you learn from the individual reflections?
It learned me to express my feelings and emotions, how I experienced each study unit and what I have learned about each study unit. These reflections helped me gain full knowledge and understanding.
- What did you find challenging?
It was challenging to summarise my feelings and emotions in a few sentences. The is so much going on in peoples lives that expressing themselves in so little words can be frustrating. It was also challenging to summarise the whole study unit to recall what we have learned in the study unit.
- Did you find the individual reflections meaningful?
Yes, they were meaningful because it helped us fully gain knowledge and understanding about every study unit each time we had to reflect on the study unit and answer question regarding the study unit.
- What would you change if you had the opportunity in the future?
I wouldn't change anything. Each study unit gave the needed information that had to be learned and no unnecessary work had to be completed.
LSKM was a good learning journey. I was interesting and meaningful. I learned something new in each study unit. This module made me excited and enthusiastic about my future teaching career. There was a challenging in each study unit which activated our critical thinking and to teach us how to think for ourselves and outside of the box.
Thank you for the lectures full support and participation in helping each individual student when we were in need. Not all lectures take this much care over their students and we show much appreciation. Thank you Ms Francis .
