EDUC42090 Guiding Effective T & L

Academic Year 2020/2021

Drawing on relevant scholarship and participants' reflections on their experiences, this module examines how theories of teaching and learning, communication, inclusion and identity shape our understandings of what takes place in contemporary classrooms. Amongst the key questions which the module poses are: how do we create a positive, inclusive teaching and learning environment; what constitutes effective teaching and how do we recognise, measure and evaluate it; which learning outcomes are valued, promoted and why is this; how do we support student teachers/newly qualified teachers in fostering a positive teaching and learning classroom climate?
