What is learning?
Learning is about understanding, not just knowing. It is also about thinking and progressing to a higher level of thinking.
What is teaching?
Teaching is the process of facilitating learning and enabling learners to construct their own knowledge and meaning. Understanding is central to the teaching process.
What are pedagogically effective ways as a learning manager to facilitate the best learning possible in your KLA?
I believe that the learning manager must have an in depth knowledge of their learners and their learning styles, have an in depth knowledge of their content, create engaging tasks and problems for students to solve with an authentic and clear connection to the real world and the world of the student, continue to develop professional knowledge, always and above all care about a student’s learning.
KLA - Geography
According to Roberts (2003) creating a need to know in geography lessons is the absolute crucial starting point. This is done through speculating, hypothesising, generation of ideas, questions and discussion as well as planning how to research. The next step is using resources effectively- locating evidence, selecting, sorting and classifying. Making sense of the knowledge is next- describing, explaining, comparing and analysing and finally reflection and evaluation.
