This article explains and discusses the influence of lecturers' beliefs on teaching. It is important for lecturers to engage in mindful teaching by becoming aware of their momentary doings. If lecturers could discover how their own mental models of reality (i.e. beliefs) shape the world within the classroom, they have the opportunity to make mindful decisions. It is recommended that lecturers do a self-inventory to help identify their patterns of thought and bring into consciousness the beliefs and values that underlies their teaching. Because each lecturer's thinking processes and interpretations are unique, only they can determine what changes need to be made in the classroom environment. 2015-09-03T09:03:26Z 2015-09-03T09:03:26Z 2009 2009 Article 1684498X http://hdl.handle.net/11462/364 en_US Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal;Vol 8, Issue 1 Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein 546 847 byte, 1 file Application/PDF Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 8, Issue 1: Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein |
