Twentieth International Conference on Learning SCHOLARLY EXPLORATIONS theme parallel session Advancing Scholarly Teaching through Guided Self-Study Inquiry Dr. Teboho Pitso, Vaal University of Technology, South Africa

Potter and Kustra (2011) discussed scholarship of teaching and learning and the importance of critical reflection on one’s practice.

 

A project was undertaken with final year undergraduate education students. The methodology used was self-study (Samaree 2006). Through the study students were encouraged to reflect on activities and then the data was analysed and five themes have started to arise. These are:

  • Personal situated inquiry
  • Critical collaboration inquiry
  • Improved learning
  • Transparent and systematic research process
  • Knowledge generation and presentation

 The data is leading to a model being developed.
