Content
In this seminar, fourth semester students cultivate the key competences of planning, decision-making, reflection and well-informed justification. To enrich and support students with the challenging process of constructing their curriculum for themselves, this seminar creates a space in which diverse aspects of their educational experiences – within and beyond the university – can be brought together in thoughtful interaction. In so doing, this seminar will push toward the frontiers of fusing personal and academic inquiry.
The taught element of this module will combine in-class activities (as long as possible) with digital activities and one-on-one discussion with academic staff to consciously foster abilities in reflection, integration, collaboration and communication. This will allow a space in which to draw together and strengthen work undertaken elsewhere in their studies and to merge activities beyond the classroom within academic profiles.
The seminar draws from several disciplines: Philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, sociology and others to provide the key concepts.
The pedagogical approach of the module will also provide students an integrative framework for telling their stories as SI students and articulating singular intellectual concentrations developed over the course of their studies, a core competency and presumed learning outcome for all SI students. Through articulating these narratives, students demonstrate that they have taken the essential steps towards a successful and purposeful individualized plan of study in view of thematic orientation, choice of modules, incorporation of extracurricular activities and sustainable next steps for life after earning their degrees.
In this seminar, we apply theory to practice, clarifying key concepts – planning, decision-making, failure, reflection – to develop both diagnostic tools for analysing educational experiences and strategies and tools for reflection and forthcoming decisions.
