Abstract:
The purpose of this portfolio is to train Higher Education educators (such as myself) who are in the teaching profession without a qualification. In these cases teaching skills are often needed to enhance the quality of teaching at a tertiary level. This portfolio therefore aimed at demonstrating my ability to fuse teaching theory and methodology with my existing knowledge of the pharmacy profession to meet the students’ academic needs as well as those of the stakeholders and Namibian society.
In this portfolio the reader will be taken through my unique education learning journey. Here the reader will learn and share in my development from a novice lecturer into one who demonstrates more advanced insight and skills surrounding this specialised activity of tertiary education in a Namibian setting.
In broad terms, the educational themes covered in the portfolio include place, people, adult education, curriculum, teaching and assessment.
