Reflection And Teaching: Weighing Pros And Cons.

Abstract

Higher education seems to have become the latest 'economic battleground' with numerous institutions hoping to attract as many students as possible expands. In the process, it is suggested that there needs to be balance between concerns for financial returns and yet being true to the standards of academia. The onus for such a sense of responsibility lies with the teaching institutions. One way in which these institutions can safeguard this commitment to academic standards is to ground the teaching approach on a sound philosophy and research on teaching and teachers.
