The Association for Faculty Enrichment in Learning and Teaching (AFELT) is keen on enriching the learning and teaching processes in our higher education sector to ensure that faculty facilitate learning for significant learning and transformation. Based on our objective to develop the scholarship of teaching and learning, members are developed to reflect on their own learning and transformation. 

AFELT has organized a workshop on Teaching for critical reflective thinking .Critical reflection is an approach to teaching: a pedagogy. Have you ever integrated Critical Reflective thinking in your teaching? Do you want to share or learn how to? Join AFELT workshop on July 28th, 2023 at Kenyatta University for a half day workshop. 

Critical reflection is a process of thinking and learning that helps us make meaning of new information, connect it to our existing knowledge and experiences, and consider the implications for our actions. It helps in developing new insights, challenge existing assumptions, and transform existing perspectives. It is a necessary skill that builds a questioning attitude, fosters student-teacher relationships, promotes innovation and makes the lessons engaging and interesting. Critical reflection is the link between thinking and doing and the key ingredient for transformation.

Critical reflective teaching results in learning that starts with self-awareness, being in touch with yourself, your experiences, and what’s shaped your worldview. I view reflection as ‘chewing the cud’. A cow eats in the day, but once it settles down, it starts re-eating the food, breaking it into what is absorbable into its systems

You are invited to participate in this training. The focus will be to on Critical reflective Learning.
