Abstract
Learning styles in Eastern and Western educational settings are known to differ with the former focusing on understanding through memorization prior to application and the latter focusing on understanding through experiences initially (Kennedy, 2002; Pang, Ho, & Man, 2009; Tavakol & Dennick, 2010). It can be challenging to be a foreign lecturer in a higher education setting, balancing the cultural learning styles of students with a different teaching approach. This paper will share the experiences of blending the teaching approaches of didactic teaching with facilitation in lectorials and clinical supervision within an Australian competency-based psychology program for a Singapore student population. Strategies to build on individual learning styles and to encourage reflection and self-directed learning, including appropriate use of technology, will be discussed.
