One thought on “Hello!”
Week 1
Kumashiro defines ‘commonsense’ as being something people take for granted. The ‘commonsense’ within the education system is familiar and oppressive – this is how Kumashiro defines ‘commonsense’. Things need change within the education system and Kumashiro believes that involving “… Anti-oppressive forms of education…” (Kumashiro, 2009, p. XXXVII) will break the normality of those set ‘norms’.
Paying attention to ‘commonsense’ is important because teachers need to be fully aware of the students well being. With attention and involving anti-oppression in education – this is important for helping students feel safe in their environment. Change needs to happen and talking about doing what’s right for the students rather than the normalcy of the ‘commonsense’ within education is the direction the education system needs to take.
My understandings of ‘commonsense’ in curriculum and pedagogy is how the curriculum is based on grades and this is a reflection of the student. The teacher will teach over the school year of all the subjects and requirements in the curriculum. The layout of being a student is: sit in your desk, listen to the teacher, get assigned homework, and study for tests. Each year there would also be a school supplies list for each student. My view on ‘commonsense’ in curriculum and pedagogy is school is just seen as normal for how things are taught, because I was told it was ‘normal’.
