023156 Professional Experience 6: Promoting Student Centred Learning

This subject extends the knowledge and skills base of students, enabling them to make increasingly informed decisions concerning teaching practices that place the primary student at the centre of his or her learning. It addresses both the theoretical underpinnings and professional skills of promoting learner interaction, self-initiated thinking and enquiry. It also examines the phenomenon of individual differences in primary education and associated practical implications for learning and teaching. Further, this subject explores learning beyond the classroom, looking at the different approaches and considerations that are needed when taking students outside the school environment and in providing students with the best possible opportunities for learning with their school class and for life-long learning.
