MODULE 3: Approaches to Teaching
3.1 Planning for Learning In this opening Unit to Module 3, the key issues of teacher preparation and planning for learning will be addressed. After discussion of the importance of lesson planning, two distinctive levels of planning will be considered: • medium term planning, which could take the form of a unit of work, explaining an outline of what is to be covered over a period of a few weeks, • and short term planning - the individual lesson plan. 3.2 Collaborative Learning Although the traditional whole-class approach to classroom teaching has many benefits, there is also plenty of research evidence to show that cooperative learning can promote higher levels of achievement than instructional or transmissive methods of delivery. Collaborative approaches to learning can promote higher attainment, greater self- esteem, and more positive classroom relationships. In this Unit, you will explore ways of managing and organising effective collaborative learning, particularly through the medium of group work. 3.3 Issues in Assessment In this Unit, you will consider several purposes for assessment and a range of assessment methods. Key distinctions in the field of assessment theory will be evaluated and applied to the context of your own school and classroom. You will be asked to compare the political context of school assessment in England and Wales with assessment approaches in your own country. You will then go on to explore the principles of Assessment for Learning (AfL), a formative approach to assessment which has been developed at King’s College, London, by a team of researchers led by Paul Black and Dylan Wiliam. This exploration will give you an opportunity to deepen your understanding of key concepts in the theory of pupil assessment and to critically evaluate AfL’s recommended approaches in the context of your own classroom.
