Developing the teaching instinct 3: Facilitating Learning

Abstract

Research into learning has produced several theories which try to identify what actions might facilitate learning. Four key principles, drawn from more than one theory of learning, should be applied:

• ensure learners receive frequent Feedback

• include Activities to apply the learning and make learning less passive

• ensure learning is centred round a learner’s Individual needs

• ensure the learning is made Relevant to the learner’s goals.
