Reflective Teaching

Abstract

This module is skill oriented; in that, you must be able to undertake reflective teaching. It focuses on aspects of reflective teaching at work. It attends to the nature of reflective teaching, self evaluation, action research, peer mentoring, micro teaching and professional development. These are contents you think about under the ‘what’ and ‘why’ questions, to ensure that your teaching is meaningful and that your students can learn. Engagement in questioning is an indication that you care about your teaching and students. The contents from these contexts focus on you not taking your teaching profession for granted. Thus, you will become critical of your teaching practice. The module provides you with an opportunity to make reflective teaching take place in your experience.
