Education
Corneels Schabort and I have known each other since our university years, and I interviewed this vibrant friend of mine to share his infectious love for teaching with a wider audience. Among other things, we discussed: Why Corneels loves teaching How love for a subject field can be born What helped Corneels sharpen his teaching skills Why having mentor(s) is important What makes a good teacher The dynamics of a teacher’s style of teaching and a learner’s way of learning The responsibility of a teacher in caring for students What self-directed learning is, and why it’s important Why it’s important to be able to critically evaluate information and why this is a scarce skill Why it’s important about being honest with yourself about your mindset regarding learning I hope you enjoy it! Until next time.
