I am learning about learning theories for my PGCERT. This week's topic: #ThresholdConcepts & #LiminalStates.
We have been asked if we recognise when/if our past selves have been in a liminal state. I have realised, that the answer is yes. All the time since starting as an Ass Professor.
As a lecturer I am in a constant liminal state: faking it until I make it... Be it supervising Human Factors projects, course design, citizenship, independence.
I have some idea of what to do, and so I copy 'good' habits from others. (Ditching bad habits as well) That being said, I do recognise that I am now starting to master more of the fundamentals so that I am faking less and less.
