SECTION C: ASPECTS OF SCHOLARLY TEACHING

(i) Developing aims and content for scholarly teaching

 

Aims 2:
  • How do my own views about student learning currently inform my approach to developing the aims and content of subject I teach?
  • How might they be able to inform that approach?

Task:

  • Consider the way you presently think of student learning: what it comprises, how it takes place and what helps and hinders it.
  • Revisit your earlier thinking (Section B Student Learning) regarding the view(s) of student learning that currently most inform your teaching.
  • The reflect on what implications that personal stance has for the way you currently go about writing aims/ content statements. In what way do your present aims/content statement reflect or otherwise reveal your views on student learning?
  • You may need to actually collect a few such aims/content statements in order to scrutinise them. A colleague's opinion can often throw light onto things one cannot easily see about one's own writing in these cases.
