At the library today thought I will change the environment so my mind is free to engage in the literature I have to read in order to prepare myself for my encounter with the students. Based on the sprint on LMS I really need to take in to consideration the group of participants I intend to work with because the mythology approach needs to align with the world views of these students. Why though? thats a good question I think it is because the quality of the learning design is based on how well the world views of these students are represented in this project. Todays education view on society is that we are a multicultural country where we are accompanied by so may cultures therefore I need to ask myself is my design for learning able to cater for many cultural world views or could what I am doing be appropriate for all cultures around me?
The sprint also mentioned thinking back on whether my project is culturally responsive to my context and is it culturally sustaining my practice for my learning environment which is in a Samoan Bilingual Unit. I definitely would like to think that my teaching practice is culturally responsive and sustaining because I am trying to prove to myself that Bilingual education is in fact the most effective way to support out first language native speakers in becoming speakers of heritage and english language.
Now because my project is closely aligned with the world views of my participants it is suggested that this process should be a process in which the project is co-constructed by the students. The Mythology approach I am choosing is the Talanoa research approach and supposedly what I read on LMS is suggests that these pasifika approaches are closely relatable to critical theory in other words critical pedagogy. This could be a sign that I need to read this to support my implementation of my project.
