Synopsis

Designed for those studying for teaching qualifications, and for practising lecturers, this text relates teaching theory to current practice in colleges of further education. It places an emphasis on the practical nature of the teaching process. For this edition, there are new chapters on the concept of intelligence in relation to the teaching-learning situation, and on the theories of Bruner and Skinner. There is also a section on lesson planning and preparation together with new material concerning the transfer of learning, sequencing of instruction and the evaluation of lectures. Computer-assisted learning is also considered and the concept of the "teacher as manager" is analyzed.
