For three and a half months, I lived, studied and worked in London, England. During my time in the United Kingdom, I traveled to ten countries, I made new friends, took thousands of pictures and broke two pairs of shoes while observing the breathtaking natural wonders.
So, when people ask me, “What was the most amazing part of your study abroad?” I have a hard time giving them an answer. But I know the most important aspect of my study was that I learned more about the world than ever before by observing it through first-hand experience.
As an education student, I believe that one way to create a strong valuable learning experience is by observing something first hand. Whether it is looking at bacteria under a microscope in a lab, analyzing a painting at a museum, or working on communications and team work skills on a group project, learn it in person.
My teachers often encourage us students to gain understanding and knowledge of something from experience. This allows students to take ownership of their learning and develop a personal connection to materials.
Dreaming of being a social study teacher, I believe that learning by doing has extreme value for students to learn about a period in history, region of the world, and economic systems, or culture.
If students are provided the opportunity to go on field trips, examine primary sources, and be immersed in an environment they are studying, they can truly analyze the world around them.
In my future classroom, I want to expose students to the idea of exploration. In every unit, I hope to create an environment where my students actually feel like they are a part of the world they are studying and for them to become world travelers by being active scholars in the classroom.
