Abstract or Summary
The author has experienced some challenges while teaching ‘soft skills’ topics such as Ethics and Professionalism and Problem Solving for IT. Tutor enthusiasm and belief in the importance of the learning for students, while being valuable assets that provide motivation for developing learning experiences, fall short in the search to find teaching tools that encourage the self reflection that will benefit students in their understanding of these topics. Transformative concepts have been incorporated into many disciplines. Transformative learning techniques encourage the student to question their perceptions and reflect on the content of the information provided to them, inspiring the student to construct their own understanding of the concepts taught. This poster will outline a prospective study on using these kinds of teaching techniques in soft skills courses.
