Learners and Learning: Section One: About this module

This covers the writers’ understanding of learning and how this informs the learning guide. It also explains how the writers intended the module to be studied. Learners and Learning aims to develop your understanding of learning. It seeks to assist you, as a teacher, to be able to analyse learning, and in so doing, to reflect on what you can do to improve it. We have divided the module into six sections.

This first section:
• introduces the module;
• discusses how we’d like you to study;
• explains how we understand learning;
• begins to explore, at a simple level, how learning is initiated.
