Learning and Teaching for Adults

Course Code: MMAPCS_05

Masters Level Module

The basis of this module is an exploration of pedagogical issues which lie at the heart of the teaching and learning of adults. It is suitable for teachers, tutors, trainers and other staff working in further, higher, adult and professional education. Individual sessions will draw upon a range of theoretical perspectives including approaches to learning, knowledge and assessment, the relationship between organisational context, teaching and learning, the different teaching traditions in post-compulsory and professional education and notions of excellence and reflective practice. This module is run as a series of 2 workshop days (one Friday at the start and one at the end of the module) and 5 evenings. Responsibility for teaching and learning is shared between tutors and participants. During the final workshop, students will make short presentations based on applying perspectives gained from the module to their own teaching context. This module is available as a short course.
