Product Description

Product Description
Designed for those studying for teaching qualifications, and for practising lecturers, this text relates teaching theory to current practice in colleges of further education. It places an emphasis on the practical nature of the teaching process. For this edition, there are new chapters on the concept of intelligence in relation to the teaching-learning situation, and on the theories of Bruner and Skinner. There is also a section on lesson planning and preparation together with new material concerning the transfer of learning, sequencing of instruction and the evaluation of lectures. Computer-assisted learning is also considered and the concept of the "teacher as manager" is analyzed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A meatier read than most - helpful with PGCE assignments, 28 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Teaching in Further Education (Continuum education) (Paperback)
For those of you who have just embarked on a PGCE course, you will doubtless be overwhelmed with a bewilderment of reading lists. Curzon's work, although a lot more difficult to read than, say, Reece and Walker or Armitage, is an excellent supplement to these works. Its utility lies in its in-depth analysis of PGCE FAHE subject areas - cognitivism/ behaviourism / gestalt are treated less superficially than other FAHE course books. Similarly, areas such as curriculum implementation and design are examined in a well-structured and lucid way; their analysis providing a sound basis on which to structure any dissertation you may be called upon to write. The section on assessment and evaluation is likewise treated with circumspection. For these reasons, this book is indispensible for PGCE - FAHE students who need something meatier than the average fare. A word of advice; Reece and Walker is more approachable, so novices are advised to read their sections first - however, once you have digested the constructs and concepts on, say, cognitivism, then Curzon affords a much deeper insight into these.

2.0 out of 5 stars A small dissenting voice, 17 Oct 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Teaching in Further Education (Continuum education) (Paperback)
Whilst I would agree with the author that an in-depth discussion of theories of teaching and learning is essential for the beginning teacher, I would suggest choosing a more balanced one than that provided in this book. I found Curzon opinionated, arrogant, rude and irritating, even where I agreed with him. Debate about teaching and learning theory will thankfully never end, and I feel that there is a certain validity to most sides of the argument. The way Curzon dismisses and insults anyone who dares to take an alternative view to his is an insult to the intelligence of most teachers. I bought this book to learn how to teach, not to be told how to think. I found it impossible to persist to the point where any useful practical advice was imparted, and am now sorry I wasted my money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Conservative & Traditional, 20 April 2009
By Michael Hale "Mike H" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Teaching in Further Education: 10 (Paperback)
Curzon is a traditional and conservative (with a small c) writer who has a refreshing simple but accurate style of prose when compared to the multitude of modern writers on this subject. Without the gimmicks, fancy theories and hype associated with teaching today, Curzon stands out as a reliable reference work.
