Adult teaching and learning: developing your practice: Developing Your Practice - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

"This is a guide to teaching and learning in the real world. [The author] encourages us to understand current theories about how people learn, and can best be helped to learn, while urging us to question our assumptions, recognise the importance of context, and reflect on our own understanding of what it means to be an adult learner."
John Field, Professor of Lifelong Learning and Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Lifelong Learning, University of Stirling, UK

This book is an essential guide to developing your practice in adult teaching and learning. Key features include:

• Exploration of key theoretical issues which are related directly to real learning contexts
• Practical ideas and suggestions to promote the development of teaching practice in new ways
• Conceptual tools for reflective practice
