Methods of Teaching / Learning
The learning and teaching strategy is designed to utilise innovative and creative approaches to teaching. The students remain in the same group for the duration of the module identifying an issue from practice, devising a solution and working through the crucial aspects of planning which would be required to present their idea for approval. Students have the opportunity to present their innovation at the end of the module. Additionally, the module utilises learning technologies such as computer assisted learning on the Surrey Learn platform. This provides the flexibility to maximise the student experience, using face to face teaching and self-directed work. This will encourage the student to gain key transferrable skills, such as information literacy to and support learning relevant to their own field of practice.
The concept of inter-professional learning is integral to the teaching and learning strategy of the module and the students will be taught in multi-professional groups. Staff will be comfortable in facilitating examples and discussion across these groups.
The learning and teaching methods include:
Lectures
Group work
Class discussion
Small group tutorials
Group presentation
Self directed work
Online quiz
Computer assisted learning
The method of teaching and learning used will vary depending on the content of each week. However a variety of methods will be utilised across the module. Each session is designed to incorporate group work and/or discussion.
Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
