Assignment overview The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on yourself as a learner and think about how people and life experiences support the teaching and learning process. This is how theories of learning developed when theorists wondered about the complex ways that learning takes place. This assignment requires you to create a presentation that tells a story about your learning and makes some of the processes of learning visible. You can write and present this story in interesting and creative ways by using photographs, graphics or images such as one might choose when creating a picture bookhowever this is not a story written for children but, of course, it could be about how a child or children learn. This presentation can use a story narrative that is either real or imagined. It should not be written like a report or essay. This means you can tell a story that reflects: your experience with learningeither formal or informal, the learning experience of someone you know, or you can make up a fictitious story that meets the key assignment criteria. This means you have many options and this will suit some learners and others may find the open guidelines more challenging. You can write the assignment from the perspective of the learner, teacher, both or from a third party like a narrator or imagined character. These are your views, not those of others, however you are making links to the learning materials. A key part of this assignment is that the processes of learning are made visible and you identity how complex these processes are. Be sure to articulate clearly who and what informs your views. These will include: people around you such as current and former teachers, people you know or your family, literature about learning from the unit readings and learning materials, your life experiences in both formal and informal educational settings. This assignment supports unit learning outcomes 1 and 4.
