Abstract
To promote holistic development in university students, we have developed four subjects on leadership and Service-Learning. In this presentation, I will use the 5W1H framework to illustrate the teaching philosophy underlying these subjects and the teaching portfolio. Adopting a positive youth development approach and based on my previous research, we have developed two subjects on leadership and two subjects on Service-Learning. In these subjects, we highlight the importance of experiential learning and student reflection. To examine the impact of the subjects on different stakeholders, we have conducted studies based on different evaluation strategies and disseminated the findings based on the spirit of scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL).
Preparing Teaching Philosophy and Teaching Portfolio
Dr Suzanne SO
Recipient of 2017 UGC Teaching Award (Early Career Faculty Members)
Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Abstract
Writing up one’s teaching philosophy and portfolio is an exercise that calls for an in-depth and honest reflection on what we do, why we do it, and how we have tried to do it better. It brings together the teacher’s and learner’s perspectives, the current practice and the future aspirations, and pedagogies beyond our own discipline. In this sharing session, Dr So will take you through her experience of going through this intellectually stimulating, value-driven, and creative journey as she put together her teaching philosophy and portfolio for the UGC Teaching Award.
