  EDPR 5002 - Reflection & practice in university teaching and learning  
 
   
Type: Core unit of study, Higher Education Program
   
Staff: Graham Hendry
   
Assessment: Attendance and participation in the 3-day program is a prerequisite of this unit.
Assessment tasks in this unit articulate with the learning experience of EDPR 5001 – submission of project-based reflections on practice. A number of projects include online interactions through WebCT.
   
 
  Beginning with the 3-day program, this unit of study develops your understanding of the role and importance of reflection in university teaching and learning. Building on the student learning research perspective, the unit aims to develop your ability to engage reflectively with your own teaching practice as a key to your continuing professional development as a university teacher. Working with academic colleagues, you will begin to develop skills in reflective practice and in facilitating peer feedback in university teaching and learning contexts. Through engaging with the scholarly literature and participating in a number of tasks with your course colleagues, you will begin to plan ways in which to embed a reflective habit within your teaching. The skills and knowledge you will develop are expected to contribute to an enhanced understanding of your teaching practice as it relates student learning.

Learning in this unit takes place parallel to and consistent with your participation in the other core first semester unit – EDPR5001: University Teaching and Learning.
