On Responsibility in University Teaching: Aspects Contributing to the Enhancement of Teaching Quality Provided at Universities
Keywords:
University educators, responsibility, language usage, student curiosity, prospective career requirements for studentsAbstract
This paper will highlight the intrinsic link between university educators’ general responsibilities and the three domains of responsibilities. The text initially presents perspectives regarding responsibility and the act of teaching. It is then followed by an analysis of the concept of responsibility in teaching, which is examined across three distinct domains: the domain of encouraging students’ curiosity, the domain of keeping abreast of the prospective career requirements for students, and the domain of language usage. In brief, it is crucial to enhance teachers' sense of responsibility toward their students, as it can ultimately result in enhanced academic achievement and personal development for students.
