My philosophy of teaching is framed by Barkley’s understanding of student engagement (2009), who defines student engagement as  “a process and a product that is experienced on a continuum and results from the synergistic interaction between motivation and active learning.”

Similar to an action research study I conducted, teaching in itself is a continuous process of recognising a need for change, developing a plan, implementing the plan, observing and making sense of it.  An exhausting, but valuable experience and assisted me in discovering my own teaching style and I believe teaching is an ongoing action research process. Also, the reason why I actively conduct research in the Accounting Education field.
