Synopsis
This course examines the intricate interplay between knowledge, learning, and pedagogical practices within educational contexts. Participants will explore theoretical frameworks and empirical research to understand how individuals construct knowledge within various learning environments. Emphasis will be placed on critically examining pedagogical approaches and their impact on knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, and skills development. Participants will explore contemporary theories and principles of teaching and learning that apply to different learning contexts and learner profiles to develop a nuanced understanding of effective pedagogical strategies and their implications for fostering meaningful learning experiences. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to design pedagogical interventions that promote deep learning and critical thinking. 本课程探讨了知识、学习和教学法在教育环境中的错综复杂关系。学员将探索人们如何在不同的学习环境中构建知识的理论框架和实证研究。课程着重于批判性地审视教学方法及其对知识获取、知识创造和技能发展的影响。学员将探索适用于不同学习背景和学习者特征的当代教学与学习理论和原则,以发展对有效教学策略及其促进有意义学习经验的影响的深入理解。通过本课程,学员将具备设计促进深度学习和批判性思维的教学干预措施所需的知识和技能。
