Abstract
Introduction: An academic institution’s focus of learning is usually on students, while
the learning of lecturers is often regarded as being of secondary importance.
Is it true, as the old adage has it, that the best way to learn
is to teach? And, if so, is the learning that takes place mostly content-driven
learning or reflective? This chapter describes the learning that occurred
through a citizenship module that aimed to change the perceptions and
attitudes of students, and also my own reflective experience of the process,
which I realised was also a journey in personal learning.
