Uwb Ias Personal Statement

I am fascinated by Global Studies and I am willing to learn more about the various cultural and economic systems across the world. This is the primary reason why I am choosing to apply to the Interdisciplinary Art Studies program specializing in Global Studies. My experiences from working at the Art Museum last year has allowed me to find my interest in creating ideas and critical thinking. In the Global Studies major, I expect to learn more of what I am interested in most, while learning how to incorporate it in different fields.
The UWB IAS program fits very well with my learning goals. I have had educational experiences from both Korea and the United States. For the most part, my educational experience in Korea felt like the banking system.
More effective teaching such as this will result in better students and ultimately a better society because it will embolden students to express their thoughts, and become more engaged in the learning process. In return, society will influence educational systems in a positive way by creating more effective learning environments for teachers and students. Freire’s problem-posing method is the future of education. Based on what I have researched, the IAS program seems to embrace this method, as I see a lot of freedom in the educational process of this program. I anticipate teachers treating students as equals; when teachers and students will have lots of communication between them, it will allow for equal say in the knowledge. I look forward to the interaction with teachers, who may be just as interested in hearing my thoughts as I am in hearing theirs.
There is nothing better than enjoying the learning experience when it is not being forced upon one’s self. Reality is what you make it, and we have the power to manipulate it in order to create our own
