Discover The Candle of Personalized Learning Agenda in My Darkness Confusion
“WARNING: This is the fact from personal experiences.”
As time goes by I become more mature to face my own curiosity. I never enough with an only stop in the behavior leaning of memorization as like my teachers and parents asked me. Otherwise, I get used to “Titen-titeni-niteni” in Javanese language or careful-observe-reflect. As an adult learner, my learning style underpinnings the experiential learning model. I construct my understanding throughout the process of beginning with direct experience, followed by reflection, followed by the lesson learned. It will be easier for me to catch the comprehension by exposing myself to the topics, immersing the authentic experiences.
The assumption begins with the belief that learning takes place by cognitive contemplation, experience may be treated as a restricted entity and a human ‘learner’ may be isolated from his or her experience to gain information from it.
In fact, take look at closer to ELT learning, I have to perceive new information through experiencing the concrete, tangible, felt qualities of my topic, relying on the sense and immersing myself in the concrete reality. Meanwhile the other may get the new information through symbolizing learning: representation, abstract conceptualization, or stop in the system planning and theories. Both types of learning also beneficial.
Thus, in my PLA I raise the issues of to what extent Indonesian people deal with this pandemic situation. It can be observed based on my surroundings, supported by the news published, and even my own personal experiences. Relying on the factual news and reflect on how we respond.
The difficulties are when I have to deal with my own complex of thinking. I have to find out the light in the middle of darkness alone. Reading journals will not stop me to get the answer, so I have to look for another journal only to support or even reject my hypothesis and assumption. Yes, it takes time and looks tiring, but I enjoy the process.
