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.
