| Purpose: The purpose of this module is to explore adolescents in their totality as individuals and focusses on the nature of development (physical, cognitive, social, emotional, moral, spiritual ect.) and learning. The module considers learning challenges, the understanding of learning, learning styles, motivation and learner differences. It focuses on the understanding that assumptions about the nature of learners (development) and learning underpin all decisions made by classroom teachers. These discussions will be taken further in the modules: Educational Studies in context and Inclusive Education. |
