Learning about teaching: an interactive tutorial program to facilitate the study of teaching (Book review)

Abstract

"Learning about Teaching" is aptly named—the resource enables "participants" to study in depth the procesces involved in the teaching/learning process. The resource is concerned with the development of good observation techniques for the identification of "quality" practice in the teaching/leaming process. Although the resource's focus is clearly on primary school mathematics, it has wide application across the broader spectrum of education studies at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels of study, as well as in professional development programs. The resource consists of two componentsa CD-ROM, and a tutorial book which can be used for either directed or independent study. Because of changes in contemporary higher education and professional development, the flexibility in delivery and course of study made possible through this format is much in demand.
