MEDN60341 20 Semester 1 Postgraduate Taught Level 6 Jenefer Metcalfe Unit coordinator School of Medical Sciences 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 10.0 <div> <p>Participants will be introduced to current theoretical frameworks which are used to underpin effective practice in teaching, learning, assessment and evaluation. They will critically appraise a range of teaching and learning processes that can be used to create an environment conducive to learning, recognising that their own practice should be informed by broader higher education principles as well as developments in your discipline area. Critically exploring current principles and practices related to session design, delivery and evaluation, they will be encouraged to reflect upon the knowledge and skills needed to enable them to contribute effectively to teaching and learning in a variety of settings. In the context of considering their own values base in relation to teaching and learning, they are also expected to consider the importance of equality and diversity for effective teaching, and the effective evaluation of learning.</p></div><p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: rgb(60, 60, 60); font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Participants will be introduced to current theoretical frameworks which are used to underpin effective practice in teaching, learning, assessment and evaluation.
