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:

- 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).
