Abstract
In this reflective practitioner inquiry, a course instructor and a graduate teaching intern examine the experience of teaching a graduate-level course about cross-cultural perspectives of teacher development. We inquire along three dimensions: assisting doctoral students to become effective and reflective university instructors; responding to course students’ questions and concerns about developing a meaningful academic community in an online learning environment; and conceptual issues of teaching comparative, international, and development education (CIDE) in university settings. Our key argument is that in order to succeed in the above three dimensions, professional reflexivity in CIDE higher education courses can be both conceptually and pedagogically multidirectional, by which experienced and novice instructors learn from each other as much as they learn from their students in an engaging and enriching online environment.

Résumé
Dans cette enquête de pratique réfléchie, un instructeur de cours et un stagiaire d’enseignement diplômé examinent leur expérience de l’enseignement d’un cours de niveau supérieur sur les perspectives interculturelles du développement de l’enseignant. Nous nous interrogeons sur trois aspects : aider les étudiants de doctorat à devenir des enseignants universitaires efficaces et réfléchis; répondre aux questions et aux préoccupations des étudiants du cours concernant le développement d’une communauté académique significative dans un environnement d’apprentissage en ligne; et les questions conceptuelles de l’enseignement de l’éducation comparée internationale du développement (ECID) dans des contextes universitaires. Notre argument principal est que pour réussir dans les trois dimensions mentionnées ci-dessus, la réflexivité professionnelle dans les cours d’enseignement supérieur d’ECID peut être à la fois conceptuellement et pédagogiquement multidirectionnelle, ce qui veut dire que les instructeurs expérimentés et les plus novices apprennent les uns des autres autant qu’ils apprennent de leurs étudiants dans un environnement en ligne engageant et enrichissant.
