University Learning & Teaching - Aungier Street

What is... University Learning and Teaching?
The Postgraduate Certificate is a heavily practice based programme that aims to facilitate participants in the development of a capacity for their continuing professional development, critical reflection and a scholarly approach to the implementation and evaluation of teaching practices. Through varied forms of teaching demonstration, reflection in and on action, and engagement with theoretical principles and concepts, participants will explore and critically evaluate practice and convention in learning and teaching, from both a generic and a discipline-specific perspective.

Course Content
The programme will take one semester to complete (September to December or January to May). Teaching methods will include a range of learner-centred techniques that encourage participants to develop their professional practice and their skills as a reflective practitioner. The practical focus of the work provides participants with an opportunity to practice or demonstrate a short "slice" of teaching (microteaching) and a "real-time" class (teaching observations) with class colleagues and tutors, and to engage in different peer review and feedback strategies.
