For my essay research I have looked into educationalist Ken Robinson, and I found that he has done quite a few Ted talks which as perfect for me since I am a better listener than reader.
I went through all of his talks and what I wrote down a few notes and ideas both for the essay and practical part of CoP. He was talking about how the process of education is linear and not as organic as it should be. I child should be educated through trial and error not through dry information from text book with no context whatsoever as to why it is relevant to their lives. This idea of education being mechanical and linear gave me some visual ideas which I am going to use for my practice part of CoP. Comparing schools to factories and how they standardise children. In school there is no individuality or room for uniqueness, same as factory made products, children are rendered in batches sorting them by age. The schools structure resembles a factor as well, ringing bells, sectors decided in separate fascility.
