PGCert in Higher Education Professional Practice Introductory Workshop 4th February 2009 Jannie Roed
Learning approaches/styles and your assignments • Your introduction about previous learning experiences and discussion of values • Your reflections/discussions on your peer reviews
Think about something you are really good at. • How did you learn to do it? • In your own view, what is the best way for you to learn?
Approaches to learning – different stands. Students will have a preferred learning style and use it whatever the task (Schmeck 1988) Approaches entirely determined by context (Marton & Saljo 1976) An interaction between personal and contextual factors (Biggs & Tang 2007)
Felder and Silverman (1988) • How does the student perceive information most effectively – through which sensory channel? • How does the student prefer to process information? • How does the student progress towards understanding?
3P model of teaching and learning • Presage – before learning takes place - student factors - teaching context • Process – during learning - learning focused activities • Product – the outcome of learning - learning outcomes (Biggs and Tang 2007)
