Advanced pedagogy – new approaches to successful teaching and instructing

This course offers the opportunity to be challenged by a fresh look at what is commonly known as the art of teaching. This is achieved by presenting conceptual keys to innovative pedagogy and didactics in vocational education. The learning of a modern methodology, as well as the development of attitudes to implement quality-based training will be addressed.

Awareness of the importance and potential for improvement through high quality teaching and supervision in vocational education and training is gradually growing across nations and continents. As professionals, it is essential to recognise that the utmost efficacy of a vocational training system diminishes considerably when the pedagogical approach and didactic techniques fail to resonate with the learners. In fact, teaching and learning must be thought and conceptualised from the learner’s perspective. This means that new teaching methods that serve the learner must be found and explored to raise effectivity of teaching and instructing.

As a professional, if you are open to this prospect and would like to find out more, we invite you to take a look at the course below and register via our form.
