In this unit students explore the theoretical foundations of learning and teaching and discuss critically their roles as health professional teachers. They are assessed and given feedback on their teaching through performance and compare and contrast different teaching approaches. Students learn about curriculum development and, through analysis of successful innovations, gather examples relevant for their own health profession practice. |
