Lesson 5

In this lesson we were introduced to the E-portfolio we will be creating, a portfolio of evidence constructed from a lesson plan, a one-day workshop, as well as our digital evaluation, this reflective blog and our grasp of the ACRL framework we are currently learning. Going into the recap of the previous lesson any questions were addressed, personally I started feeling the weight of internalising these frameworks, and while on the surface it seemed easy, I found it a bit challenging to apply or connect it to each other. This weeks’ frame was research as inquiry, which I translated to the ability to ask questions, and subsequently found that in this frame questions has the ability to create more questions and even circle back to the original question. My grasp of this frame was by far easier than with the previous two frames. This frame really spoke to my research paper module as part of creating the research proposal was developing the research questions for my topic (this took place last semester) and coming across this frame really put that task into perspective. This lesson also introduced us to creating a lesson plan for a classroom in which we are the teacher, while it was a “fun” thought experiment it really gave me a glimpse into the workings of our own lecturers and teachers.
