Last week we had the chance to undertake a new and exciting
activity that forms part of some new research being done by our University and
other Teacher Training institutions around the country. This is known as “Pedagogy
of discomfort” and the aim is to challenge trainee teachers to be out of their
comfort zone. Both Psychology and Dance have been combined through Rock
Climbing. Below you can see a photo of me on the climbing wall we have here in
Bedford. The session was so much fun with music playing, a real team effort and
trying to show some moves whilst climbing up the wall. It was fair to say I had
a few pulled muscles afterwards but it was worth it and I am looking forward to
seeing the research develop over the next couple of years and having the honour
to be a part of it.
I am finding the motivation and concentration hard at times
and it can be difficult to stay focussed, especially at this time of year, but
I am content in the fact that it is in my challenges that I grow the most.
“Move out of your comfort zone, you can only grow if you are
willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.”
