DAPP141 session 4: Good teaching
This document discusses good teaching practices in higher education. It begins by outlining intended learning outcomes around discussing good teaching, quality assurance, and evaluating practice. It then presents three main theories of teaching: teaching as telling, facilitating student activity, and making learning possible through cooperative and self-directed learning. The document also examines frameworks for good teaching from the UK Professional Standards Framework and MMU Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy. It provides perspectives from students and principles of good practice around areas like active learning, feedback, expectations, and intellectual challenge. Scenarios are then presented to critique different teaching approaches.

- 6. Three main theoriesof teaching in HE Theory 1: Teaching as telling, transmission or delivery PASSIVE students are passive recipients of the wisdom of a single speaker – all problems reside outside the lecturer Theory 2: Teaching as organising or facilitating student activity - ACTIVE students are active – problems shared Theory 3: Teaching as making learning possible – SELFDIRECTED teaching is cooperative learning to help students change their understanding. It focuses on critical barriers to student learning (Threshold Concepts – Meyer and Land, 2003) Learning is applying and modifying one’s own ideas; it is something the student does, rather than something that is done to the student. Teaching is speculative and reflective, teaching activities are context-related, uncertain and continuously improvable. Chris (Ramsden, 2003, 108-112)

- 29. scenario 1 “I employteacher-focused methods when I deliver lectures to large groups of students. With a large group of students, it is difficult to be interactive.”
- 30. scenario 2 “I haveminimised lecture material in my courses and maximised individual and group research projects, group problem-solving, and in-class discussions. Although I don’t cover as much material this way, the students learn and retain this material better. Also, standard lecture format is not the way that we learn after university. Instead, we are expected to read for ourselves and get the information that way. Thus, I feel my teaching approach better prepares students for life after university.”
- 31. “The lecture deliversthe necessary core knowledge and content that the student needs to succeed.”
- 32. “Though I needsometimes to lecture and may even enjoy doing it, lecturing all the time simply bores me: I usually know what I am going to say, and I have heard it all before. But dialogical methods of teaching help keep me alive. Forces to listen, respond, and improvise. I am more likely to hear something unexpected and insightful from myself as well as others.” (Palmer, 2007, 25)
