The aim of the event is to present the value of reflexivity in contemporary higher education. Teaching students to become more reflexive can enable them to develop confidence, create a sense of self, and a feeling that they belong in the classroom. This workshop will also initiate a discussion around understanding various approaches to reflexivity and how to engage in reflexive conversations in our management education and learning practice.
The session will present four key elements to a successful sense of belonging
- How teaching reflexivity to students can develop our graduates of the future and contribute to developing a sense of belonging in the classroom - WHY
- Assisting students to learn how to be reflexive and why it’s important: Skills to succeed - HOW
- Developing academic staff teaching capability in the skills of reflexivity - ENABLE
- Enhancing academic staff own self development, reflexivity and self awareness - DEVELOP
