DESCRIPTION

This unit has its theoretical foundations in critical pedagogy. It will promote the enhancement of professional practice in university learning and teaching through critically analysing and reflecting on the assumptions that underpin professional practice. This will be achieved primarily by developing knowledge of the theory and practice of evaluation-based teaching through critical self-reflection and peer observation. Group work and problem solving will be features of these processes. Reflection on assessment practices will also be a feature.
