Author Description

Product DescriptionHow do teachers implement a teaching style that is both learner-centred and outcomes-based? Is there still a place for teacher-led and whole-class teaching methodologies in outcomes-based classrooms? Or should all learning ideally be group-work based? Getting Practical, the fifth module in the Study of Education series, shows why teachers require an array of teaching strategies, both learner-centred and teacher-centred, if they are to be effective. It aims to develop the skills teachers need in order to use a range of methods in a thoughtful and learning-centred manner. Getting Practical is the companion module of Using Media in Teaching, and includes an interactive Learning Guide and a videotape. The Study of Education series is a project of the SouthAbout the AuthorAfrican Institute for Distance Education (SAIDE), is aimed at formal and informal teacher education.
