Module Indicative Content
The module will guide and analyse the application of teaching practice within the workplace from planning a teaching session through to its delivery and to its final evaluation, thus ensuring that the method of teaching is matched with the desired intent. This module also considers the challenges to teaching in the workplace where the environment cannot always be predicted and teaching sometimes has to be amended.
The module examines the underpinning theory associated with teaching practice including setting learning outcomes and constructive alignment. There will be opportunity to critically reflect upon and evaluate various approaches utilised within teaching practise such as lecture, problem based learning, group work, and simulation, as well as the use of humanities, metaphor and humour within teaching. Models related to the evaluation of teaching will also be considered.
