Section A: Theories, Principles, and Models of Learning

Theories, principles and models to achieve inspirational teaching and learning

The purpose of the unit is to provide the learner with knowledge and understanding of theories, principles and models applied to education and training. It includes application of theories, principles and models of learning, communication and assessment in education and training, the application of theories and models of curriculum development within own area of specialism, and the application of theories and models of reflection and evaluation to the evaluation of own practice.

Produce a research report which covers the following (Section A):

Carry out research into the theories, principles and models of learning in education and training.

Write a report in which you analyse:

(1.1) analyse theories, principles and models of learning preferences

(1.2) analyse models of learning preferences

Drawing on this research and on your own experience, explain:

(1.3) ways in which theories, principles and models of learning can be applied to teaching, learning and assessment

(3.3) identify points of referral available to meet individual learning needs

(1.4) take account of learners’ individual learning preferences enables inclusive teaching, learning and assessment.

You are required to prepare a presentation which explains ways in which

(2.2) theories, principles and models of communication can be applied to teaching, learning and assessment.

This may include transactional analysis, the communication cycle, Johari’s window, Shannon and Weaver, effective listening skills

To support this presentation, produce a research report which details

(2.1) your analyses theories, principles and models of communication

This may include transactional analysis, the communication cycle, Johari’s window,

Shannon and Weaver, effective listening skills.

In order to broaden your knowledge of assessment, research and then

(3.1) analyse theories, principles and models of assessment

(3.2) explain ways in which theories, principles and models of assessment can be applied in assessing learning.

Models may include competency and non-competency models, linkage between learning theory and assessment, assessment of, as and for learning, Black and William.

Principles may include reliability, validity, currency, authenticity, transparency, efficiency, sufficiency, developmental feedback, medals and missions.
