Knowing how my personality can impinge upon my teaching, but also knowing about the many different personalities I would be engaging in any one lecture was eye-opening. To learn that in most cases we might only engage 2.5% of the class was shocking, and really pushed me to think about how I could adapt my teahcing to reahc out to as many students as possible.
This was about being creative, flexible in how I teach and the different activities I use to engage different sets of learners.
I have begun to seriously think about the importance of some of this information for my own students, and wonder how useful it would be for students in level 4 to know a bit more about thier personality and how they learn. I might in the future include a quick personality and learning activitiy with first year students during module introductions, to get them thinking about how they learn and how they might have to adapt aspects of their life to better accomodate their learning.
