This is how I teach
This month we spoke with , Director of the Unit of Digital Education and Training in the School of Education where he is also Acting Deputy Head of School. Read about his innovative use of technology to benefit both the teacher and the student.
How would you describe your approach to teaching/your teaching philosophy?
My main aspiration with teaching is to provide students with an engaging, meaningful learning experience that provides them with sufficient challenge to motivate them so they can achieve the best they can. I believe that any student we accept at our University can be successful and believe that if I can get a student to engage, I can help them be the best they can be within my courses. I base my teaching on a blend of four theoretical perspectives. The three most prevalent educational theories of the last century: behaviourism, cognitivism and constructivism and I also apply connectivism as it deals with learning from non-human artefacts such as computers, virtual reality and AI.
