Abstract

This chapter offers some reflections upon the personal reflections which he have built into the teaching texts for an introductory sociology course. Unlike 'in-text questions', 'statements of objectives', 'advance organizers' and 'lists of key concepts', personal reflections are not conventional pedagogical devices for teaching texts used in distance education. The author's personal reflections are put forward to provide the people with a basis for thinking about similar social experiences of their own. One aim of the autobiographical assignment is to teach students to be objective about their subjective social experiences. C.W. Milis' theory offers an ideal complement to that used in Making the Difference. The reflecting researchers had made many of Mills' abstract points more concretely, more personally.
