Overview![]() In an effort to support student’s own learning, this section therefore includes details about both teaching and learning without discriminating between them since for the 14-19 student, both are relevant and no harm would come to a student who followed the references in the National Strategy “Pedagogy Pack” for example, finding out about the theoretical principles of guided learning or about questioning, though they should appreciate that the pack was written for a teacher audience. ![]() Given the technology available and the general activities of contemporary students, podcasts, blogs, wikis and other web 2.0 approaches are seen as appropriate and attractive for study and for developing thinking; supporting debate, interaction and publication. Nevertheless, fluency with using a web browser for example does not guarantee discerning use, and details of how to look beyond “apparent” content are included within the Using the Web sub section, to inform better research. The Stern Review points to some very “live” topics with debate and controversy, assertion and refutation being natural components. For this reason there is also a focus on critical thinking and reasoned argument. |
