LJL- End Term

Dec 10, 20212 min read

INTRODUCTION-

Till now we were learning different projects under four separate modules. Though all four modules are named differently but the things we learnt from them are interrelated.
All of these four paths had joined together to help us complete and reach to the end term project.
The observational study and drawings of FVL-2 formed the basis of this project.
Observation, reflective thinking, Analysis, Lateral thinking, and iterative approach have been constant through all 4 modules and were even applied in this end term Project.
We followed an exploratory approach which helped me develop variety of ideas and gave a chance to try, test and revise them.
This Project was about combing all our learnings of all four modules into one integrated project.
It created an opportunity for me to recognise how different fundamental concepts and skills learnt in each module came together for a holistic creative design development process.
I tried to Apply the prior learning from all projects / modules and make connections between concepts and skills learnt across different modules.

To be very honest, at first I thought writing LJL was a very useless thing, I always thought that why do we have to write what we have learnt, why is there a need to write how and why for every single thing, why is it even necessary?....
But as soon as I wrote 2-3 LJL's I realised that while performing or doing a project we don't really think about what we are learning or why we are doing this, but as soon as you sit down to reflect upon it and think about why I did what I did, it helps you to tell it yourself that what you have gained through it.
Learner's journey log is basically a recollection of your journey and learnings throughout a project and even if you forget sometimes which of course eventually we do, at least you can go and read through the entire blog.
Overall I feel that this is a very good practice, it also improves your vocabulary and adds on to your knowledge.
I have written about 7-8 LJL's till now and it has kind of become a habit.

BENEFITS	BARRIERS
It helps me to figured out my strengths and weaknesses as when I reflect and write something, it gives me a chance to think deeper and figure out where I went wrong or where I could have performed better.	It is a bit of a tedious task for someone who is not fond of writing or is not in a habit of writing so much.
I get to know where and how can I improve myself.	Also sometimes I do things without thinking much and just do it randomly to try something, so I don't always have a reason as to why I did it, so sometimes I have to come up with a forced reason in order to write about it in my LJL.
It provides a platform to put all our learnings and process, so that we can go through them whenever we want.	Also instead of taking references from other people's LJL'S, people have actually started to copy it. I know that nobody can copy what you have learnt but still it becomes frustrating to see what you wrote in your LJL as your learning in someone else's Blog.
I think it also provides a benefit to our mentors as they can read the LJL and can easily get to know what were we thinking while doing what we did.
