? analyse the strengths and limitations of differing representations of learning, teaching and assessment
? consider the challenges inherent in embedding research perspectives on learning and teaching in practice

Assessment Information
| Participants will be required to produce an assignment of approximately 4000 words in which they either critically analyse current research perspectives on learning and teaching or they connect current research perspectives on learning and teaching to their own practice. Participants will be offered suggested topics / questions for the assignment but will also be able to negotiate with course tutors and identify specific topics or areas of investigation which interest them. |
