Abstract
What do we truly know of teaching? Are teachers born or made? One thing we know is that really good teachers are constant learners. They learn in the act of preparing ideas and materials aimed at stimulating and awakening their students. They learn in the act of teaching as they see some seed that they have planted flourish while others are too weak to strike root and grow. And they learn from the feedback they get from their students because they are willing to critically and analytically reflect on the signals they get in the classroom or the responses and suggestions they get in student evaluations. Teachers whose job it is to train other teachers are placed in a difficult situation. They are expected to be particularly good. The bar they must jump is raised that little bit higher. This is especially so for those who run training courses for university lecturers. It is only recently that universities have started to insist that their teachers undergo pedagogical training.
