This book addresses strategies for teaching and recording achievement as well as exploring ways in which students learn. Readers are invited, through a case study approch, to consider differing student needs and how they might be served within FE. Teaching and Learning in Further Education is established as an authoritative, wide-ranging introductory text for those training to work in the further education, post-compulsory education and lifelong learning sectors. It offers an easy to read picture of the practitioner's everyday working life, a thorough historical account of the FE context and excellent advice on how to improve practice and enhance professional development. Essential topics covered include: Key theorists Teaching strategies Assessment issues The diverse curriculum The nature of the student body Blended learning and virtual learning E-assessment and personal records of achievement The fourth edition will be significantly updated in light of the latest research into teaching and learning, as well as extensive changes in the field including: Revision to the professional standards for teachers, tutors and trainers in the lifelong learning sector; increased provision of HE in FE; the introduction of functional skills and the 14-19 Diploma and the shifting nature of vocational qualifications. Illustrated throughout by case studies and vignettes, and supported by reflective actitities and references to well respected research and literature, Teaching and Learning in Further Education is an essential text to be used throughout an FE tutor's journey from trainee to qualified lecturer.
