Teaching experience and reflection

Saleema Gulzar1, Shahid Shamim M2, Catherine Lobo3

ABSTRACT

The standard of education can be improved if educators actively assess themselves or have someone else evaluate their teaching skills. Reflection on multiple aspects of teaching can be used as a powerful tool for worldwide educationists. Teaching, particularly in nursing discipline, strives to move beyond the simple divulgence of facts and knowledge. It widens student’s horizons, stimulates their intellects, and teaches them to become self directed. This manuscript is a qualitative review of observations in a class of nursing with context to teaching skills and its impact on students’ interest in learning during the class. The authors have used their reflections to discuss the ways to improve teaching methodology and related them with various teaching learning theories.

KEY WORDS: Reflection, Teaching strategies, Humour in teaching, Role play, Teaching theories, Self directed learning, Teaching and learning principles, Andragogy approach.
