Learning and Teaching in Practice/Andragogy/Learning and teaching methods

''Teachers need to use a variety of methods when facilitating learning experiences for adults. Skills for independent and self-directed learning need to be recognised and scaffolded appropriately. Existing experience needs to be acknowledged and built on through active learning''

Expert learners: To develop the expert learner, the resources on the Effective teaching and learning website for The Excellence Gateway Treasury are a must: Introducing the 10 pedagogy approaches. There is lots to explore. Perhaps start with looking at the overview of the 10 pedagogical approaches. More detail can be found in the Quick start guides.

Work-based training: Nancy Johnson (2011) has prepared a useful article about Facilitating the best adult learning experiences. She explains What? Why? and How? in five steps with an overview of some techniques for providing a range of different learning experiences. It has a focus for training in the workplace. Suggestions for using audiovisual tools are suggested.
