foolfillment: the blog

I have to admit to being a bit fed up with uni at the moment. Having finished up at school a little over a week ago on a high moving on to a timetable with a gaping hole where I am supposed to do my own learning and research has been a horrible transition. I’m very aware that there is a lot of work to be done at the moment but I cope much better with work if there are short tasks with immediate consequencies rather than one big, open task that doesn’t need to be completed until about 7 months from now.
However I’ve had a chat with my superviser who pointed out very subtly and gently what I already was acutely aware of - I need to do some reading, and soon.
So, this week is going to be spent looking up Entwistle, Biggs, Dweck, Perry, Behaviourist and constructivist learning, and trying not to look at too many blogs - although East Lothian’s Extreme Learning projects are ridiculously related to what I’m looking at that I have to keep an eye on them.
