The Influence of Culture on Learning and Performance

Objectives

• To raise awareness about the influence of culture on attitudes towards learning, performance, and continuing professional development
• To consider cultural dimensions in managing the educational and supervisory relationship

 

Outcomes

At the conclusion of the Workshop we anticipate participants will:

• Have more understanding of how culture can influence perceptions of learning and professional development
• Begin to consider how that understanding is translated into working practice where there are concerns about performance

 

Programme

Notes for participants: the workshop seeks to promote learning from shared experience. Please come prepared to share examples from your own practice that can be used to illuminate concepts about cultural issues, particularly examples where you have been uncertain how to proceed.
