Beskrivning
Teaching and Learning: Pedagogy, Curriculum and Culture is designed to share important theory with readers in an accessible but sophisticated way. It offers an overview of the key issues and dominant theories of teaching and learning as they impact upon the practice of education professionals in the classroom. This second edition has been updated to take account of significant changes in the field; young people’s use of digital technologies, the increasing involvement of world of business in state education, and ongoing high-profile debates about assessment, to name but a few. It examines the global move from traditional subject-and-knowledge based curricula towards skills and problem-solving and discusses how the emphasis on education for citizenship has forced us to reconsider the social functions of education. Central topics also covered include: an assessment of the most influential theorists of learning and teaching the ways in which public educational policy impinges on local practice the nature and role of language and culture in formal educational settings an assessment of different models of 'good teaching' alternative models of curriculum and pedagogy.With questions, points for consideration and ideas for further reading and research throughout, this book delivers discussion and analysis designed to support understanding of classroom interactions and to contribute to improved practice. It will be essential reading for all student teachers, those engaged in professional development, and Education Studies students.

Recensioner i media

'... packed with references to research and relevant literature ... useful because it's designed to provoke discussion and reflection ... A must for teachers who are studying or thinking about developments in teaching and learning.' - Gerald Haigh, Times Educational Supplement'I would have no qualms about recommending this book to students and teachers as a valuable source of ideas and perspectives ... Moore is to be congratulated on providing such a thought-provoking read and for bringing to the fore key aspects of teaching and learning' - Dr Keith S. Taber, EscalateReviewed alongside Understanding Schools and Schooling, by Clyde Chitty:'Avoid being constructed as unreflective and uncritical imbibers of the latest pedagogical quackery. Put the supply-budget to proper use by picking up a copy of these two books and doing your own INSET. You will recover what it means to be seen as a thoughtful, highly-skilled professional with a continuing interest in and concern for the intellectual complexities and demands of the job. You will be given knowledge, a reading-list and useful things to think about and do. You will not be patronised Both these books take teachers and teaching seriously. They serve to remind us genuinely, without flattery, glibness or show, of the complexity, importance, difficulty and value of what we do, and they will help us do it in a more fully informed, knowledgeable way. In short they will help us do it better read these books and talk the rest of the staff into reading them.' - Patrick Yarker, Forum
