Teaching, Learning and Assessment

The Faculty of Education’s approach to teaching, learning and assessment is built around a concept of a learning entitlement for all students that includes:

• programmes that provide academic and professional challenge and which are underpinned and informed by research

• explicit engagement that addresses learners’ academic and professional needs and develops their relevant skills and knowledge

• a focus on learner centred approaches to teaching, learning and assessment

• provision of a wide range of pedagogies designed to role model excellent practice and to promote effective learning opportunities

• the effective integration of new and emerging technologies designed to enhance the learning potential of sessions, modules and programmes

• assessment opportunities (formative and summative) that are equitable, consistent, transparent, time appropriate and closely aligned with aims and learning outcomes

• comprehensive and effective feedback procedures that clearly articulate targets for progression and improvement

• opportunities to develop teaching, learning and assessment techniques within a range of settings as appropriate to the programme of study.
