• The name of the course: Multicultural Teamwork
• Where and when?
Business Information Technology unit of Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, Ratapihantie 13, Helsinki. 12.10.2015 – 10.12.2015, 2 hours per day, altogether 12 hours.
It was a great opportunity to learn and teach such an interesting subject during that time we were facing refugee issues in the European countries. The course had a well-structured implementation plan based on the pedagogical approach of progressive inquiry and project learning. With the great support from the guiding teacher, I was able to engage in the feedback sessions for the students’ project work and evaluation for the team presentation sessions which were the case that I developed my skills for providing the constructive feedback.
My lessons about South-Korean culture in ICT business well planned and executed as well, thus I got good feedback from the guiding teacher saying that some of the students used the learned knowledge in other class like Negotiation course. I used Kolb’s experiential learning theory as a foundation of the teaching, so the students were encouraged to exercise their factual knowledge of cultural competences and also to demonstrate generic skills. Time management was the key challenge of the teaching methods.
