This unit will provide an introduction to key theories, methodologies and current issues relevant to teaching, learning and assessment in science. The emphasis will be on linking theory and practice through practical engagement with and critical analysis of a range of learning and teaching practices. The notions of the reflective practitioner and teacher-as-researcher will inform the critical frameworks offered throughout the unit. The overarching aim is to invite consideration of the implications of the ideas studied for future educational practice and/or personal research.
