Course aim

To extend the professional competencies of educators as critically reflexive practitioners who are enabled to theorise their practice and act on new knowledge as a means of bringing about change in the contexts in which they work.

Course content

Conceptions of reflective practice; personal characterisation of existing teaching style and strategies; values, beliefs and assumptions that underpin actions in working with adult learners; exploring alternative values and beliefs systems underpinning actions as an educator; disjuncture between values, beliefs, assumptions and practice and consequent implications for adult learning; planning for future action and change in practice as an educator.
