Supporting student development
In the pre-reflection journal in Module 1, you were asked to reflect on your disciplinary identity and how this has shaped your overall approach to teaching. In the context of this module’s content, think about the relationship between your disciplinary identity and your approach to course and syllabus design. In doing so, answer the following questions:
- Has your disciplinary identity influenced the way in which you design assignments and syllabi? If so, how? If not, why not?
- How has your personal or individual identity as a teacher influenced your approach to course and assignment design?
- Have you found a way to represent your discipline while maintaining a measure of freedom to incorporate your individual identity into your teaching style? If so, how have you done this? If not, why not?
Your reflection should not exceed 400 words.
