More About the Author
Product Description
Review
`…an abundant supply of a quality that is often lacking in such books: thoughtful originality, backed up by meaningful experience on the part of the author. The book as a whole is mercifully free of unnecessary jargon, and is accessible and friendly in tone…' - ESCalate
`Race… is without a doubt a master of intelligent simplicity…a serious understanding of the needs of learners is clear behind every page… There is an enormous amount of practical, useful material. I will not be in the least surprised if this book is a runaway success' - Anita Pincas, Lifelong Education and International Development, Institute of Education, London
'Phil Race freely shares his experience and his wise counsel in a text where he emerges from the pages as a clear thinking, clear writing, expert in this field, with much to offer' - John Cowan, Emeritus Professor of Learning Development, the Open University
Product Description
- wanting to learn
- taking ownership of the need to learn
- learning by doing
- learning through feedback
- making sense of what is being learned
- deepening learning through explaining, coaching, teaching
- further deepening learning through assessing - making informed judgements
The book encourages teachers and students to address these factors head-on in a wide range of contexts, including large-group teaching, the design of assessment, small-group work, reflection, and in making good use of formative feedback.
As well as a thorough update based on feedback to the previous version, this edition includes three new chapters:
- 'designing the curriculum for learning';
- 'what can I do when…?'providing creative tactics to help address some of the common problems colleagues experience in teaching in post-compulsory education;
- 'reflective observation', including peer and self observation.
The book is a helpful tool for lecturers and tutors in universities and colleges, post-16 teachers in secondary education, and educational managers.It also provides a valuable resource for postgraduate students on higher and further education courses and staff development courses across UK universities.
Phil Race is Emeritus Professor: Assessment, Learning and Teaching, at Leeds Metropolitan University, and continues to travel widely giving keynotes and running training workshops for staff and students in universities, colleges and other organizations throughout the UK and abroad.
