Shivin's iExperience Learning Story

Learner: Shivin     Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 21.5.15

Learning Area: iExperience - Social Science/The Arts - Visual Art

Learning Observed

Recently, we have been learning about Maori Culture. We combined this concept with our Visual Art session. All of the learners had an opportunity to select an Art task that was related to Maori Culture. Shivin chose to make a mat out of woven paper. He struggled with this at first, and after some guidance he was able to make a simple under-over pattern. Shivin’s completed weaving was then laminated and will go home with him.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Initially, Shivin was working on his own. Because he was finding it difficult, he sought help from other learners and Learning Coach (Managing Self). Through this collaboration he was able to succeed. Shivin was quite determined to succeed with this which showed he wanted to increase his capability in this area. This activity challenged Shivin to extend his problem solving skills (Thinking).

Next Learning Steps

Complete another mat using the same pattern, but unassisted. Help another learner master this skill.
