I was particularly interested in the Lisa Delpit reading, “Other People’s Children” and the power of literacy, particularly the effect of the language and dialect used in teaching. I was not aware how much of an impact\u00a0language diversity could have on an individuals learning experience.\u00a0It is striking how a change in dialect can result an individual’s better comprehension of the same material.<\/p>\n
I could make a particular connection with the teacher who was able to better teach his students through the use of real world examples. I too have had a similar learning experience. In some of my engineering classes, I struggled particularly with material that I could not relate to a real world example. For example I consider calculus 2 and 3 to be some of the hardest classes that I have taken. \u00a0The problems were purely theoretical and they did not click for me. However, when more complicated material was placed in front of me, in which I was able to associate real world meaning to the numbers, I was able to grasp it\u00a0much easier.<\/p>\n
I am curious as to whether anyone else has had learning experiences similar to mine or the ones we read about?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
