It did not occur to me a few years ago that I would one day be writing this ejournal and going through another four years of schooling by enrolling in the Bachelor of Education Studies program at UPOU. I was aware that this would be a difficult task for me to complete because, for the past 30 years, I have been actively engaged in the real world, dealing with real issues and problems in both my professional and personal life. I have come to the conclusion that it does not really make a difference whether you are young or old, a student or working when it comes to learning new things even in theories and new concepts. Not only does it stimulate your thirsts to gain more knowledge, but it also somehow proves the theories you are studying to be true to your experience. When you are young, it can be very challenging to comprehend that a person can learn and mature through the experiences that they have, learn from their environment and interaction with different people, and learn from another person who is more knowledgeable than you.
Now I understand why there are so many different learning theories, for instance, given the number of psychologists and scientists that have contributed to their development. Each person is one of a kind and possesses their own cultural heritage in addition to having their own distinct social interactions, both of which are indicative of how they process learning. My viewpoint is that education is open to all people, has no upper age limit, and does not mandate the use of any specialized materials or equipment. It is simply coming to terms with the fact that as long as we live, we are constantly gaining new knowledge.
