This subject uses a problem based learning approach to move from practice to theory in introducing students to key concepts of effective learning and teaching. The subject operates through five strands which interact within the teaching/learning process - the learners, the planning process, teacher/student role, the learning environment and ensuring learning. Students are required to undertake 25 hours of professional experience in educational settings to establish praxis as a way of knowing. The subject uses these practical experiences along with authentic scenarios to focus on key issues in managing teaching and learning in a variety of settings. Through the unpacking of these scenarios, students come to learn the value of a range of theoretical frameworks.
to be able to plan and develop learning experiences drawing on both theoretical perspectives and observation of practice;
to be able to implement and critically evaluate a range of strategies for developing and managing appropriate learning environments, including the use of information technologies;
