Abstract
Reflective practice in teaching and learning in education has a more profound focus on the professional development of instructors in multidisciplinary education dimensions. This reflection has been applied in most professional teaching practices for a long period. The reflective practice by professionals in education has recognisable benefits to enhance the experience of students. However, there exists some unclear aspect of some of the ways in which the practice of reflection was done by professional base on their methods of teaching. The main goal of this research is to describe the various methods applied in teaching undergraduate seminars and lab demonstrations in a Computer Security module. So many modern and existing methods of teaching were applied in the delivery of the subject for undergraduate level of Computer Science discipline. Feedback was collected from the students after the classes. The feedback analysis was done using SPSS for statistical sciences for the data collection. The analysis reveals the level of acceptance of the various methods applied during teaching. The various opinions and critiques of the students were captured and analysed for further improvement in my future teaching plans. This research covers the following. Firstly, a brief review on reflective practice. Secondly, discussion of some of the methods applied by the researcher during teaching seminars and labs classes. Thirdly, analysis of the feedback forms collected from the students after the seminar and lab classes at the end of the term, and finally, a conclusion and further research directions.
