Module overview
The module provides the students with a comprehensive understanding of how people learn in a learning environment with an emphasis on what constitutes an effective learning setting and how this is conducive for learning. Through a series of lectures and facilitated groupwork students will identify educational strategies that can be used to ensure that the ‘student learning journey’ is meaningful. These concepts will be underpinned by learning theories which will help the students construct an understanding of how people learn in their own environments.

On successful completion of the module, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the learning environment in which you work, with consideration of the internal and external factors which influence your approach to inclusive education.
- Critically examine and evaluate an educational strategy used within practice-based education to optimise student centred learning and assessment.
- Explore a learning theory which underpins your education strategy and link the learning theory to the strategy in a critical manner.
- Synthesizes ideas and develops innovative proposals to enhance opportunities for learning.
