On 31 Jan, CTLE held a professional development workshop on reflective teaching for inclusive education in higher education. This workshop aims to promote academic exchange and sharing of experience to enhance optimization in teaching. The workshop attracted about 50 UM academic staff from different faculties.

Professor Vivian Wing Yan LEE from the Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research (CLEAR) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) shared her insights and experience in the field. She believes reflective teaching to be a personal journey that requires self-motivation and a willingness to learn from one’s own experiences as well as peers.

During the workshop, she demonstrated the internal and external processes of reflective assessment. She provided examples of using teaching journals and student feedback for self-reflection, and, through video viewing, suggested strategies and considerations that colleagues could adopt for class observations. Practical techniques that faculty can use in their own classrooms have also been discussed.  (Download PPT) (Watch Videos)
