UNDERSTANDING LEARNING & TEACHING IN SCHOOLS

This practical guide to the pedagogy of teaching looks not only at the how of teaching, but also at the what and the why. Pedagogy (the science of teaching) is part of the essential understanding of all teachers: a sound conception of pedagogy is central to all good teaching. Based on curriculum and teacher training agency guidelines, the work evaluates what pedagogy is, and how teachers can understand - and benefit from - this potentially complex subject. Illustrated throughout with examples, the volume encourages readers to engage in a positive approach to learning to teach.
