This subject uses a situated learning approach to move from practice to theory in introducing students to key concepts of effective learning and teaching. 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 situations to focus on key issues in managing teaching and learning in a variety of settings. Through the unpacking of these situations, students come to learn the value of a range of theoretical frameworks.
