Reflection on the IB learner profile
INQUIRERS: Yes, this is the most suitable indicator for my
profile. I am always curious about how
it works or how it was made…Thanks to internet nowadays it become very easy to
research anything…It is my main rule: If you know anything in depth then you can
really explain and teach it.
KNOWLEDGABLE: We
always feel ourselves hungry for new knowledge. But I think that the most
important thing is to make your current knowledge strong and then to get new one. Because
there are many things that I think I know, but how I know it, how and where I
use this knowledge…answers of these questions show me that I don’t know these
things completely…
THINKERS: I think that I am good thinker, I am creative
person, but in very complex problems I need to collaborate with my fellows.
COMMUNICATORS: My communication skills are satisfying. It
was not so good in my school life but now, in my opinion I can communicate with
any person in any age or any type.
PRINCIPLED: I gained a great experience on this profile
since starting of my life as a teacher. When I started to teaching I thought
that it will be easy to adjust students. But this amazing job showed me that
each student is different and you must control senses, respect rights of all
students, take responsibility of your wrong or right actions and to be honest in all
conditions.
OPEN-MİNDED: I studied partly in Soviet times, partly in
independent times. Although, we gained freedom our Education System was the continuation of
Soviet education system. This enclosed system was self praised and there was strong- sharp
edges, which you could not pass. But
independency and easy communication with other countries opened all closed and dusty doors. Now we can
add new views to our history, we make new researches about written history. We
found new amazing common sides of our culture with other cultures. Since
meeting with other peoples from different nationalities and traveling different
countries I’ve changed a lot of things in my mind. I think that I am very open
minded person.
CARING: I see myself
as emotional and friendly person, empathy is the main point of my life, mainly
before any action I try to put myself in position of my companion. Religious
aspect also make me to do things that make people happy.
RISK TAKERS: I will not give 5 point on this profile for
individual actions. But if there are cooperative work then I am in. Because in
my opinion if there are more risk-takers, then disappointings will be break a part.
BALANCED:
Despite fact that I am emotional, i know that there are rules in our life. I
try to maintain balance,
but sometimes it is very difficult.
REFLECTIVE:
It is the weakest side of me. I claim to myself that I know my weaknesses and
strong sides, but I dont make effort to work on them. I never write them down,
never discuss it with my colleagues. I think that I forgot it, or did
not pay attention on it. This article remind me that essential profile, that I
must awake.
