The theory and practice of teaching

This book is an introduction for educators wanting to understand the techniques, contemporary theories and methods of teaching -- from facilitating problem-based learning to the role of the lecture. It explores the issues that underpin interpersonal methods of teaching, and offers genuine insights through a broad and multi-disciplinary perspective on these methods. It will help teachers at all levels to understand the techniques that they can call upon at different times and situations, and will help to develop more effective teaching practice. This edition contains new material on e-moderating (teaching online) and its implications for teaching theory, issues surrounding disciplinarity and teaching and also the ethical dimensions of teaching.
