With these posts today, I should be good for my reflecting on SLT in the future :-)
I wanted to reflect, briefly, on group learning. My personal distaste for group assignments (can't explain why, just that I dislike it) colors my willingness to accept that learning can happen through working with a group. But recent experiences -- whether I like it or not -- is causing me to have to CHANGE my belief about this concept (there's a principle or two out there in my mind that I can't retrieve that includes cognitive dissonance valence). First, my experiences in these group exercises that Tiffany has us do in class DO assist in my understanding and application of the focus concepts and principles. Second, my experience in discussing my change class paper assignment with Chuck. In both these scenarios, discussing with others has improved my understanding and application, and hopefully my final outcomes.
Once again, I'm going to have to accept that those various theorists were correct about the value of social learning, and change my beliefs. Oh, quick, I should use change theory to dissect my CHANGE of heart!
Schema and script, here I come!
