Course objectives
The purpose of this course is to help students realize the ways in which they think about personal and professional topics that support their development. Specifically, (1) how the experience which they have had up to now create their perception of themselves within their future careers. (2) Further, to reflect on how their thoughts, emotions and actions affect each other within their personal and professional development. All the thematic blocks will be based on (3) the students’ self-experience which they bring with them to the course and which arises in the course of instruction. The students’ attention is intentionally directed towards (4) reflection on their experience from the teaching assistant practice and on selected topics related to their personal and professional development (see outline below). The course is inspired by the concept of Systemic Modelling and the Personal Development Plan model. The aim is to encourage students to gradually take greater responsibility for their own learning (self-directed learning) and to enable students to realize and possibly revise their attitudes towards their future profession.
