The students must reflect on and formulate their own learning outcomes of relevant assignments and by doing so see the relevance between the academic subject and their own future in the job market.
The purpose of this exercise is to give the students an opportunity to consider and reflect on the outcome of their academic subject as regards concrete academic content and their own learning. The questions in handout 1 invite the students to reflect and provide them with an opportunity to link their theoretical knowledge to their personal experience from the teaching activities.
Linking their reflections on academic content and their own learning in relation to completing a concrete assignment will strengthen the students’ academic competences and their experience of the relevance of their academic subject for their own future – the time when they have graduated and are heading for the job market.
Then instruct the students to remain in the group but to answer the second part of the questions in handout 1 individually (approx. 10 minutes).
The students should then summarise their answers in the group, discussing their individual responses and ask for more details if they have different perspectives and points (10 minutes).
