After many years as a student in Higher Education, I realised the meaning of the witticism that education is a marathon, not a sprint. A few years later, I started grasping that this not only applies to learning but also to teaching. Supporting students on their academic journey is a journey in itself, with ups and downs.
Arousing students’ interest in a topic is the most important aspect of their learning success. In my opinion, this learning success is not exclusively defined by an increasing knowledge base, but by a heightened awareness of contemporary societal and economic challenges as well.
Especially university-level teaching is not only about conveying facts, but about enabling students to take a critical perspective and apply their knowledge to a new context. My ultimate goal for the end of each semester is that my students are confident of having acquired meaningful new knowledge, and they ask more critical questions than at the beginning of the semester.
Whereas I agree that universities should provide students with the required tools to be successful in the labour market after graduation, I see it as equally important that students have the time to develop in a more general sense during their studies: Students should be allowed to make mistakes, and learn from them, but also be presented with challenges, which induce them to reach a little higher.
