EDF4120 Learning at the heart of teaching

This unit places the learner at the heart of teaching and examines the complex process through which learning develops. You will gain a strong understanding of how learning occurs by examining research into effective learning models. Reflecting on personal learning experiences, both past and present, is a powerful way for individuals to examine learning; it demonstrates how cultural and socio-economic contexts influence learning. This includes consideration of the benefits and limitations of employing digital technologies as a means to engage learners and address the challenges of achieving student-centred participation and inclusion. You will consider approaches to measure and evaluate learning and appreciate how a focus on learning will prepare you as a stronger and more responsive teacher.
