Teaching philosophy
My teaching philosophy resonates with the social constructivism framework. Learning, shaped in a social context, is stimulated through the process of observations, negotiations, exchange of view and information, reflecting on past experiences and the experiences happening when one is learning. In our era, when Herbert Simon (1962) indicates “a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, ...”, it is in the process of observations, negotiations, and exchanging meaning that we evolve consciously of what we know and how we can know better or differently. That’s how I see my role as an educator.
