Module description
This module will explore the theories that inform teaching practice and will analyse the implications these have in terms of ways of learning, material used, the teacher role and the classroom. This is essential for all those seeking to understand their teaching environment more clearly and for those who have a chance to influence teaching environments. The module will allow students to consider the applications of these theories through online forum discussions and a portfolio of assessed written tasks.
