Gerardo Brando – Reflective Learning
My name is Gerardo Brando, I’m 49 years old and I’m studying languages; French and English
What has been your experience of reflective learning?
It’s very interesting because you reflect about your own skills and how to use to use those skills and
the tutorial facilitator helped us with new ideas for – not only for the jobs, but to create jobs really.
Very good, very good experience
How is what you have learned going to impact on your approach to your studies?
Actually, there is a very good point that the facilitator told me, that is to go to the website – the OU
website – and there is some free learning and free advice for the people who are starting with
business, so – that’s what I’m going to do in the next two weeks – to go to the website, check what I
can pick up from there and plan; make my plan for the next year
How is practicing reflective learning going to help you achieve you long term goals?
I think it’s an ongoing experience. It’s very interesting, this kind of meeting because they give you
the feeling you belong to the university and the university cares about you and for the future I think
it’s an ongoing experience, you have to get all the equipment ready for the future really, you want to
practice your career
