Poland, Czechia and Eastonia reflecting on using the resources presented in this module. Teachers were asked to complete the self-reflextion or external reflection tasks, using the handouts and reviewing the materials provided in this module. Here is what teachers said about their experience:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\t\u2026The evaluation\u00a0inspired me to continue using modern teaching methods and\u00a0working with case studies. During the lesson and during the follow-up evaluation, I found that I really enjoy watching my students grow academically,\u00a0and discussing current social issues with them. (Teacher from Czechia)\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\tSelf-evaluation was\u00a0a useful way to re-evaluate what happened in the classroom. Usually, as a lecturer, in the classroom\u00a0I focus on the subject and the information (or\u00a0the content I deliver to\u00a0studnets), and because of this\u00a0I often fail to pay\u00a0attention to the way\u00a0I communicate my ideas and how I talk to my students. Through this self-reflection, I had a chance to do just that and think about various implications of my lecture. Importantly,\u00a0I learned to look at\u00a0my teaching process critically, and ask myself if my students in class 1) understood\u00a0what I wanted to teach them;\u00a02) perceived the class content the way I intended them to.\u00a0Through this self-reflection task, I was also able to see whether I am achieving the\u00a0goal that I set out for the class. This self-reflection task\u00a0was a good opportunity to think about what was happening in the classroom, and not just what I was teaching, but also\u00a0about my teaching style.\u00a0(Teacher from Estonia)\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\tAny form of reflection was particularly helpful during online teaching. For me, an honest and open\u00a0communication of my aims, motivations, and challenges (mainly associated with\u00a0hybrid teaching format or newly introdcued classes) makes me feel uncomfortable, and at times even vulnerable. When experimenting with something new (new teaching format, new class content), we\u00a0will see only later, in the student evaluations at the end of the course, what worked and what did not, and this uncertainty is very difficult for me to handle. For these reasons, self-evaluation and having a colleague evaluate my teaching was a very useful task, so I can receive feedback before the end of the semester and consider changes (or accept encouragement and reassurance) regarding my class and teaching style.\u00a0(Teacher from Hungary)\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\tExternal evaluation of my teaching was very useful in terms of pointing out the details of teacher-student and teacher-class relationship. Having read the reflections of the evluators, I considered diversifying working methods and understood the importance of being more attentive to\u00a0students\u2019 uncderstanding the subject. Based on reflections,\u00a0I also considered using different materials in class. This task made me realize the importance of receiving feedback from\u00a0someone who might have\u00a0a different perspective on teaching, methods, or communication style.\u00a0(Teacher from Poland)\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this case study section, you can find teachers from Hungary, Poland, Czechia and Eastonia reflecting on using the resources presented in this module.
