EDUC330 is a course about how best to help children learn new skills and understandings. It will be of interest to anyone who is interested in how and when learning occurs or in the best ways of helping others to learn. The course is organised around the following themes.* What are the key factors upon which learning depends?* What are the most effective ways of helping people to achieve different kinds of learning outcomes?* How should we measure learning?* How should we measure the effects of teaching on learning?Lecture classes examine and discuss key findings of the scientific research into learning and teaching. Laboratory classes provide an introduction to research methods, provide guidance in the completion of a practical research project, and provide the opportunity to examine and discuss examples of teaching procedures and programmes which have been found to be highly effective in developing certain kinds of learning outcomes.A choice of practical projects is possible. The main options are (a) tutoring a primary school aged child for several weeks in the third term and measuring the effects of this tutoring on learning or (b) working with a partner to measure performance improvements on an assigned learning task over a 3-week period.
