Module 5 – Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Environments: Learners’ Engagement in Learning Processes

In this module, we focus on ‘Teaching and learning’, which must be interpreted in an institution with a whole school inclusivity approach as opportunities for learners to engage and influence their own learning process, fairly involvement into curriculum development and the collaborative enhancement of their educational experience. Approaches to learner engagement should seek to find the balance between learner engagement in their own learning and learner engagement in the process of enhancing that learning. Partnership in this space can be pedagogical, curricular, and extra- curricular, founded on collaborative relationships, where staff and learners recognise that their engagement can have wider influence in institutional change, emerging good practice, and quality improvement.

In this module we will discuss about the following three domains:

  • Learner Centred Teaching and Learning;
  • Learning community;
  • Interaction with teachers & students

  • precisely interpret the assessment criteria of the Teaching & Learning (PART C)part of the Self-assessment System
