- 1. How people learn - paradoxes and surprises of people development during Horse Assisted Education Programs Agata Wiatrowska, HorseSense, Poland 8th Annual EAHAE Conference 7-9 September 2012 "Back to the Roots - Up to the Future“
- 2. Experiencing learning processes during Horse Assisted Education What is my observation? What I experience? Is it my own process? Is it participant or group process? Or both?
- 3. Observation: Work in atmoshpere of silence No comments in the bigger group Very litte space for experimenting, at least at the beginning Silent people Possible learning processes: Facilitator: Is there any process? Things are going good way? Participants: Development experience opens new shifts in psyche, words are not avaiable for them Experiencing something very personal Normal state for introvertic people
- 4. Observation: Fear to admit that you can learn from horses Abracadabra with horses? Resistance to learn from horses Possible learning processes: Facilitator: Good lesson for „ego” - > not everbody feels this as brilliant Participants: Experiencing Cosmos trip
- 5. Observation: Easy finding of comments and reflection Entusiastic approach to the method Having fun Happy learning Possible learning processes: Facilitator: Finally „normal learning process” Very diffrent areas Wow! It is really briliant method Participants: Finally „normal learning process” Very diffrent areas
- 6. Observation: Suprised what they see at the camera after horse exercise Falling a sleep after picadero Feel not comfortable to deliver such a experience to other people People having „though” time Possible learning processes: Facilitator: Feeling of guilt, what could we do to avoid it, was it neccessery? Participants: Verifiing self-mage Connecting with something very important, very hidden inside, behind the masks
- 7. Oservation: Showing horse experience Do not talk about themselves much They are not suprised with horse behaviour Expect their participants to talk about themselves People talking only about horses Possible learning processes: Facilitator: Ethical dilemma at the TTT, people refuse to work themselves, but are very enthusiastic about making other people work… Participants: Using horses to talk about themselves – projection Trying to stay in comfort zones Trying to reach the development experience through other people
- 8. Observation: Looking for answer by facilitators Looking for answer in their minds Looking for clear rules and intruction to avoid more chaos People who experience chaos inside themselfes Possible learning processes: Facilitator: Hope, that „the new” will survive Participants: Seeing new possibilities activates reorganization of old psychic structures Changing belifes about themselves, other people, the word
- 9. Observation: Experience beyond words Atmoshpere of miracle Deep experience Miracle Meeting „Grandfather”
- 10. Good learning processes for you! Thank you
Editor's Notes
- It is not easy to separate this two processes. 6 cases with types of people behabiours during HAE Programs
- Story Mike, 45 years old, motorway building company It is nothing for me. I have nothing to say about it. He took part in all exercises. No comments. Castle with thick and strong walls. In the final sentence he admit: I have nothing to say about this horse exercises. I am the most interested in this walls here. They are so thick and strong. And even they get broken as I see….
- It is moment when learning is „flow”, everybody learns from everybody.
- They have saw somethink what they did not expected.
- 90% of this people are horsepeople, riders etc.
- They very clear ask for intructions „ What does it mean set the personal or professional goal?”
- Lady felt a lot of fear during the first exercise. At the same time she was attract to horse Jacek. She refused to participate in leading and being led exercise. With help of her collegue she touch Jacek only. She decided to go to the picadero exercise. She walked around Jacek refusing to lead him at the rope. Jacek gave her rope (twice!). Her story was. Jacek activated in her her love to her grandfather. Grandfather loved horses very much… Grandfather died when she was a child. She remembered him seeting in the room and reading. As a child she was a litte scared and at the same time attract to him. As an adult she missed that contact and was dreaming to be closer with her grandfather….. After picadero she was speechless and the whole group as well……
