‘Presearch’ – Object based learning

Some thoughts following the research in advance of four first group lecture on Wednesday 24th January:

Watched youtube – Judy Wilcocks [Accessed Jan ’24]

Notes: Late 19th C thought that aesthetic appreciation was a learned experience.

Big change 2011 CSM with purpose built and designed space – natural light, ambient space important to modern students.

Old dark, no natural light

Educational theorists to look up based on notes taken from video:

  • John Dewey
  • Jean Piaget
  • Levi Vygotski
  • Jerome Bruner
  • David Kolb

Secondarily I watched the following video as requested: https://ual.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=584e5aa6-e2a7-4d77-a92a-ac5c00bcd35a&start=0 [Accessed Jan ’24]

Here’s a screen shot to the object video:

Video on emotional responses to objects – part of the ‘presearch’ in advance of the ‘object based learning’ group lecture.
  • Showing objects in a interdisciplinary way! Object engagement isn’t discipline specific but rooted in student engagement.
  • Application to my discipline: Intro 2 research session – students to bring in an object represent them – swap? More thoughts on this – will consider it as a way to enhance my case study 1, ‘know and respond to students diverse needs.’
  • Multi-sensory object based learning most successful.
  • Haptic handling and feel objects
  • Team teaching can be very effective

Finally – setting some intentions to follow up on after conducting this ‘presearch’:

  • To participate in the group lecture on 24th January 2024
  • To research suggested theorists mentioned in Judy’s youtube video
  • To research female theorists out of curiosity (as all Judy’s suggestions are male).
