Abstract

To contextualise the discussion, we begin with an overview of our programme, outlining the expectations that our students have of us as a provider, and that we have of them, as adult learners preparing for a professional career. We hope that this article will offer not only some practical, transferable strategies to address student anxieties, but will exemplify the key role that critical reflection plays in education. Professional conversations and critical analysis of our own practice can help educators to gain a deeper understanding of their own professional work and make improvements to create better outcomes for students in their learning (McGarr et al., 2019), which is what we are trying to do here.
