Learning Outcomes of UE

This programme will enable the students to have a critical understanding of documents of various kinds on learning and classroom management strategies. Students will be able to criticize them in the light of the course framework (evidence-based education and effective teaching). In particular, they will be able to determine whether or not the strategies proposed by the documents analysed are based on evidence (i.e. on some form of scientific proof and not on intuition, beliefs, etc.). They will also be able to write an explicit instruction lesson plan.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
