A2: Reading Richardson (2005)

Visible to anyone in the world

Do you think the innovations described in Weeks 8 and 9 as ‘learning design’ would induce more desirable approaches to studying on the part of the students?

Not so sure about that but I think that yes.

Compare Marton’s idea that some students regard learning as something that just happens to them with Sfard’s account from Week 3.

The acquisition metaphor descirbed by Sfard might be as well described by Marton's idea that some students regard learning as something that just happens to them and they acquire it.  Whereas, participation metaphor could be explained with the deeper approached that students undertake to learning.  Thus they are participating in their own learning process.

Do the concepts, theories and evidence described in the paper fit your own experience as a learner?

Generally yes.

Which of Säljö’s five conceptions of learning best fits your own definition?

Learning as the increase of knowledge

Some theories and concepts described in the paper might fit my own teaching but not completely. The argument is not fully described and justified.  There should have been more in depth information and explanations.
