Abstract: "Learners and Pedagogy looks at the relationship between views of learning, learners, knowledge and pedagogy. Worldwide, education is being subjected to a succession of policy initiatives and political interventions. Questions of what should be taught, and how, are subjects of constant debate, seldom based on research findings or theoretical principles. The articles in this volume have been chosen to show how theories can provide frameworks for analysing pedagogy and to create a dialogue about new possibilities for advancing practice." "Learners and Pedagogy will be essential reading for students of curriculum, learning and assessment, at all levels from pre-primary to further and higher education."--Jacket.
