Skill development

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I engaged in continuous learning and professional development by attending conferences and workshops in linguistics and audiology, and through self-directed study to become more versatile in educational sciences and statistics. In research, I collaborated with audiologists and doctors, which exposed me to diverse research approaches. In teaching, I adopted new methods, including using LMS for blended and online courses. Over the past two years, I have taken full responsibility for courses and coordinated the work of fellow teachers. Additionally, I actively expanded my network through academic conferences, leading to a collaboration with an Australian team and an internship at the Special Needs Education Institute at the University of Oslo.
