Argyris… I don’t understand. I mean I do, but I don’t know if its what you meant. What I got from the text, is that double loop learning is when you don’t have to trial and error, as you can kind of think about these things in your head and reflect on what would be best as you go. For example, if your initial approach to dealing with the problem didn’t work, you can think about alternative solutions rather than continue to trial things similar to that one. Perhaps this is wrong, either way I think it is a good skill to have, if nothing else its a time saver.

It seems that double loop learning or “model II” are the ideal types, more creative, able to change and reevaluate when required, so what if I am a single loop learner? what if I fit model I? Is there a way to change this? Or is Argyris just encouraging me to try my best to change this however I can?

I also read Adrian Miles’ “Blogs in Media Education” and the thing I have most definitely taken away from it is, yeah, if this wasn’t a hefty part of this subject, chances are I wouldn’t invest any time into it. Being part of Gen Y, I have obviously been forced to create blogs for class in the past, where teachers set up something one week then forget about it the next, meaning I have a large supply of blogs out there dedicated to English and Humanities that have just been forgotten about, most likely because we were never encouraged to post in it ever. So my biggest concern is, after this part of this subject, and until I need this blog again for another subject, will I just slack off? Because I am excited to be actually blogging for the first time in my life, but is the driving force behind it the hope of a high mark? I hope not.
