then we can discuss engines, performance and dashboards

Comfortable

“liminal space”

“Liminal Space… when you have left the tried and true but have not yet been able to replace it with anything else.

Limina is the Latin word for threshold, the space betwixt and between http://sojo.net/magazine/2002/01/grieving-sacred-space

…when you are between your old comfort zone and any possible new

answer… If you are not trained in how to hold anxiety, how to live with ambiguity, how to entrust and wait, you will run…

anything to flee this terrible cloud of unknowing.”

Richard Rohr O.F.M. — on the spirituality of liminal space

So while we initially strive to make our students feel comfortable […] we then must help them balance their desire for

security with the need to take risks and explore new ideas and possibilities.

Rather than attempting to resolve the tension, a college should help

students find their place on this precarious threshold, in the liminal space between the familiar and strange, the old and the new.

Johansson & Felten, 2014

Our learners face this. So do we as staff.

Comfortable

“liminal space”

Can we equip students for liminal space?

Do we know how to teach for

liminality?

The big challenge for 21st century educators

“educational philosophy and theory face the unfamiliar and challenging task of theorising a formative process which is not guided from the start by the target form designed in advance”

Jess’s Choice

What will be there in 15 years?

Why do relationships matter?

What was there before?

How many people have been there?

How was the gorge made?

Have any famous people been there?

What kind of people used to be there?

‘It’s made me not so scared to learn other things,’ ‘It was a

tiny little project and it spiraled into all these other things that

were connected.’

cic.uts.edu.au

So my choice was made….. the gypsy caravan, and my friend…. I looked at the questions generated from my initial mind-map and I began to see a way of grouping them.

Anchored in personal interest…Starting with experience …..

Is there a thin line between the acceptance and rejection of gypsy travellers as a minority group within a wider

community? 34

The outcome is derived from the process

…I was digging deep, maybe I was experiencing a little of what we had talked

about, “theory U”. An inward bound journey leading to an outward, letting go of

preconceived ideas and experiencing change through the process.

cic.uts.edu.au

anchored in personal interest (rather than didactic intent) starts with experience (rather than opinion or theory) creates its own dynamic (rather than following taught routines) relates and unites disciplines and domains (rather than fragmenting them) Integrates values with learning (rather than separating them) is reflexive on its process (rather than concerned only with outcome) allows the outcome to derive from the process (rather than pre-determine it)

Hope and optimism

Taking responsibility for my own learning over time through defining my purposes, understanding and managing my feelings, knowing how I go about learning & planning my learning journey carefully.

Making connections between what I already know & new information & experience. Making meaning by linking my story, my new learning & my purpose.

Wanting to get beneath the surface & find out more. Always wondering why and how.

Dependent Closed Openness to learning

An emotional orientation of being open & ready to invest in learning, having flexible self-belief, willing to persist & manage any self-doubt. A necessary pre-requisite for developing resilience in learning

Using my intuition & imagination to generate new ideas & knowledge. Taking risks & playing with ideas and artefacts to arrive at new solutions.

Being part of a learning community at work, at home, in education & in my social networks. Knowing I have social resources to draw on when I need them

Having the optimism & hope that I can learn & achieve over time. Having a growth mindset; believing I can generate my own new knowledge for what I need to achieve

Being able to work with others, to collaborate and co-generate new ideas and artefacts. Being able to listen and contribute productively to a team.

blogging + dispositional

Blogging for learning

Blogs offer learners opportunities to incorporate many perspectives, develop carefully crafted contributions, reflect and make considered responses to others (Ferguson et al., 2007). This medium provides an environment in which people can observe, articulate and refine practices (Efimova et al., 2004). At the same time, by making use of the comment facility, bloggers are able to share thoughts, ideas and opinions (Du and Wagner, 2005). In order for students to engage effectively with this emerging genre, they need to be able to experiment and take ownership of their writing, learning to develop a blog as a space for personal learning, reflection and interaction (Bryman and Burgess, 1994).
