Session: Session 1
Room: Live-Stream C
Presentation Type:Live-Stream Presentation
This autoethnographical account details my own experiences in teaching physics across different continents: from Europe to Asia and Australasia in universities, high schools and back to academia. I also compare with other international academic staff (IAS), like me from my own point of view. The underlying themes of this article relate to issues of teaching in an international context, physics teaching pedagogy and andragogy; and academic identity in relation to acculturation and imposter phenomena of which my own academic journey has passed through these issues many times. I ponder the question of the value and benefit of this journey personally and for all those I have had the honourable pleasure of working with and / or teaching. I then finally discuss, from my own point of view, how others I have interacted with, and I would argue fall into the same category of IAS, have fared on their own academic journeys.
