ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on four aspects of the learning and teaching process, taking an approach likely to be useful to those with responsibilities beyond delivery of their own teaching. It does not attempt to 'cover the ground' of how students learn, teaching methods, modes of assessment and so on. Keith Trigwell, Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for the Advancement of University Teaching, University of Oxford, describes his development and use of a 'lens' through which to view, inform and transform teaching. Keith suggests that readers may find this lens helpful in considering the digital chalk-face. Student-centred teaching may be good, but as an offering to students it may not be good enough. Teaching takes place within a much wider context than the confines of cor laboratory. Teaching requires discipline-specific knowledge. Organization of teaching also requires understanding of policy and context.
