Metaphor for Learning
April 10, 2008 | | Leave a Comment
In class yesterday, Matthew asked us to come up with our own metaphor for learning and express this with pictures. I worked with my partner Alex, and we came up with the idea that learning is like growing a garden. The gardener (teacher) must nurture and care for her plants (students) and accommodate for their different needs (learning styles) in order for them to grow steadily and reach their full potential.
Another metaphor i found interesting was Karina’s where she stated that learning is like making a cake. The chef (the teacher) must use ingredients (the curriculum content) and utensils (teaching strategies) in order to create the cake (children’s learning).
