Canning, John (2015) Teaching in twenty-first-century higher education : reading Chekhov's 'A boring story' to stimulate reflective practice. Reflective Practice, 16(4), pp. 497-507. ISSN (print) 1462-3943

Abstract

Chekhov’s novella A Boring Story: From an old man’s journal provides a rich stimulus for reflecting upon the practice of teaching in higher education. The narrator’s beliefs about academia, science and medicine alongside his tacit theories of learning and encounters with students and colleagues are reflected upon and speculated upon in light of contemporary teaching practice and pedagogic literature.
