Critical Perspectives on Learning and Teaching (CPAS0076)

The module explores the nature of teaching and learning. Drawing on a range of different authors’ writing and participants’ experience, this module aims to stimulate critical reflections and actions, in response to the following four core questions:

• What happens in learning environments?

• What is learning and how does it happen?

• What factors influence learning?

• Which learning outcomes are valuable and why?

In exploring answers to these questions, the module seeks to weave together four interrelated strands:

• Theoretical frames: What assumptions do we bring with us in thinking about what happens in a variety of learning environments?

• Methodological frames: How should/could learning environments be researched?

• Pedagogical issues: What are students learning and how we could/should respond? How do we/could we understand ‘pedagogy’?

• Professional issues: Who decides what counts as knowledge in and about learning environments?

Participants in the module will critically examine teaching and learning practices, their underlying assumptions and their educational advantages and problems. They will engage with multiple methods and theoretical perspectives for investigating practice; and conduct inquiry, engaging with reflection, into their own or another’s teaching or learning context. The module runs in the Autumn term (face to face) and Spring term (online and face to face).
