Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

This paper takes a blended learning approach with lectures taught on campus, kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (face-to-face). One-hour lectures will be held weekly with the expectation that students attend regularly. Guest speakers from the local region will be invited fairly frequently to share their expertise. Tutorials will be held online for Primary and face-to-face for Early Childhood students.

The first half of the paper focuses on the broad topic of Assessment, investigating the purpose, place and types of assessment and the role of assessment in teaching and learning. The second half of the paper explores Innovative Teaching Principles, looking at a range of contexts and guiding documents. Lastly the third and final over-arching topic is about developing a Teaching Philosophy that draws together the 'big ideas' students have formed about the concepts of teaching and learning.
