Preparing learners for adaptively responding to uncertainty
The UNSW Scientia Education Academy is delighted to welcome Professor Michelle Lazarus from Monash University.
In this lecture, we will explore how uncertainty manifests across various careers, examine the pros and cons of different strategies for managing uncertainty tolerance, and discuss the psychological factors that shape our responses. Practical tips will also be provided to help students develop adaptive skills for navigating the inevitable uncertainties they will encounter as they transition through their studies and into their careers.
