Teaching strategies for effective learning (1)
  1. to apply understanding of education to improving teaching practices issues must be adressed
    1. defining goals and structure
      1. using appropriate teaching strategies
        1. assesing students
          1. evaluating teaching
            1. educational development & accountability
            2. problems with current methods
              1. good teaching encourages students to relate to subject matter in purposful way
                1. encourage deep learning
                  1. hard
                    1. help students become aware of conceptions, highlight inconsistancies in learner conceptions, focus on the central issues most problematic to student, integrate knowing how with knowing what,
                      1. teacher must be able to reflect
                      2. discourage surface approach

                          1. avoid excessive workload and time pressure, dont set assesement which test recall, give value to any attempt at understanding, avoid any cynical comments
                        2. good teaching
