- In brief, what have I learned from the lecture, independent task and tutorial today? Please be specific.
In todays Lecture I learned many definitions of religion, religion from the inside and outside being the believers approach and the scholarly approach which we should write from in the exam. I also learned the many works of scholars such as Ninian Smart, Browislaw Malinowski and Emile Durkheim, and the views that they have towards religion. I know have a better understanding of religious diversity and the challenges that are faced.
2. Do I understand the main concepts and issues of the topics and areas I have learnt today? Where possible, how can I evidence this knowledge?
I wouldn’t say that I fully understand the main concepts and issues of this topic but I feel I will be able to build upon this through studying doing past papers putting what I have learned into practice.
3. Are there concepts and issues that I am struggling to comprehend? What can I do about that?
The concepts and issues that I am struggling with is how to link the theorist into each answer but also linking them into each different section that religion separates into. In order to improve with this would be to put this into practice or ask lectures for help to make this clear.
4. How has my knowledge in this area developed/increased today? Are there specific areas that require particular improvement? How will I address that?
My knowledge in this area developed today as I did not know how important religion is and how diversity is a big part of society today and in order to prove this theorist have to back this up in order for any argument to make sense. I will address this by trying pass papers to help me better my arguments but also build upon a structure to make my work clear.
5. If at all, how does what I have learnt today relate to my general understanding of how, using religion as an example, society impacts on lifestyle and vice-versa? Any possible career opportunities/aspirations as a future primary teacher on the things I have learnt today?
What I learned today that religion does take a big part in many people’s lifestyles within different religions people need time to pray in different areas at different times and as future teachers we will need to be able to understand, accommodate and promote this for individuals.
