UV50826Applying theories and principles for planning and enabling learning

The purpose of this unit is to enable you to understand the theories, principles and applications of learning and communication and to apply them to inclusive learning and teaching. You will cover the expectations of the minimum core in relation to applications of theories and principles for planning and enabling inclusive learning and teaching. It enables you to evaluate your own application of theories and principles of learning and communication to inclusive learning and teaching.

Teaching practice sign off

Teaching practice must be undertaken in a teaching and learning environment to achieve this unit. Practice should be in an appropriate context - either with groups of learners or with individual learners. Any single observation must be a minimum of half an hour. Your assessor will complete the table below when sufficient teaching practice (as deemed appropriate by your assessor) has been completed and documented in your portfolio of evidence.

Date achieved Assessor initials

This unit requires teaching practice to be observed and assessed in a teaching and learning environment. Observations can be formative and summative.

Your assessor will observe your performance of practical tasks. The minimum number of observations required is indicated in the evidence requirements section of this unit.

Criteria may not always naturally occur during a practical observation. In such instances you will be required to produce supplementary evidence or asked questions to demonstrate your competence in this area. Your assessor will document the criteria that have been achieved through oral questioning.

Your assessor will sign off an outcome when all criteria have been competently achieved.

There is no range section that applies to this unit.

Unit content

This section provides guidance on the recommended knowledge and skills required to enable you to achieve each of the learning outcomes in this unit. Your tutor/assessor will ensure you have the opportunity to cover all of the unit content.

UV50826 11

Apply and use inclusive learning and teaching strategies and resources taking account of theories and principles of learning and communication: Reflective practice theory, models of reflection (e.g. Gibbs, Schon, Rolfe, Brookfield), learning theory (andragogy, behaviourism, cognitivism, humanism, socially situated learning), motivation theory (e.g. Maslow, Herzberg, McGregor), assessment theory, different types of assessment (e.g. initial, formative, summative), different methods of assessment (e.g. observation, oral questioning, written questions, practical exercises), learning preferences, different teaching and learning methods to accommodate different learners and different abilities or needs (e.g. one to one, paired work, small group teaching, whole group learning), communication theory, written, verbal and non-verbal communication, inclusive language, lesson planning, differentiation, classroom management, applying organisational policies and procedures, demonstrating use of appropriate resources, strengths and limitations of specific resources, representation of cultural differences, avoiding stereotyping, adapting resources to accommodate specific learning difficulties and disabilities.

How the effectiveness of own selection and use of inclusive learning and teaching strategies and resources relates to theories and principles of learning and communication: Reflecting

on own approaches to delivery, models of reflection (e.g. Gibbs, Schon, Rolfe, Brookfield), self-reflective practice, rationale writing linking theory to practice, using feedback from a range of suitable sources (e.g. self, learners, manager, internal and external support agencies).

Outcome 2: Understand the application of theories and principles of learning and communication to inclusive learning and teaching

UV5082612

Factors that can affect learning and achievement: Identifying individual learning needs, social, cultural and personal barriers to learning, analytical skills.

How theories and principles of learning and communication can be applied to enable inclusive learning and teaching: Reflective practice theory, models of reflection (e.g. Gibbs, Schon, Rolfe, Brookfield), learning theory (andragogy, behaviourism, cognitivism, humanism, socially situated learning), motivation theory (e.g. Maslow, Herzberg,

McGregor), assessment theory, different types of assessment (e.g. initial, formative, summative), different methods of assessment (e.g. observation, oral questioning, written questions, practical exercises), learning preferences, different teaching and learning methods to accommodate different learners and different abilities or needs (e.g. one to one, paired work, small group teaching, whole group learning), communication theory, written, verbal and non-verbal communication, inclusive language, rationale writing linking theory and practice.

Outcome 3: Be able to meet the expectations of the minimum core in relation to the applications of theories and principles for planning and enabling inclusive learning and teaching

Analyse ways in which the minimum core elements can be demonstrated in applying theories and principles for planning and enabling inclusive learning and teaching: Analysis of personal skills in relation to adult core curriculum, different learning and teaching methods to accommodate different learning preferences and different learning abilities and/or needs including one to one, paired work, small group work, whole group teaching, different assessment methods (e.g. observation, oral questioning, written questions, games, assignments), resource selection relating to learners levels and corresponding reading ages, SMOG (McLaughlin formula/polysyllable count), readability of resources, computerised resources, representation of cultural

differences, avoiding stereotyping, adapting resources to accommodate specific learning difficulties and disabilities, evaluation theory (e.g. Kirkpatrick).

Use elements of minimum core in applying theories and principles of planning and enabling inclusive learning and teaching: Lesson planning, Blooms taxonomy of learning (categorisation of objectives, knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation), differentiated outcomes, embedding language, literacy, numeracy (LLN), adult core curriculum.

Outcome 4: Be able to evaluate and improve own application of theories and principles of learning and communication to inclusive learning and teaching

UV50826 13

How own application of theories and principles of learning and communication impact on inclusive learning and teaching: Reflect on own approaches to delivery, models of reflection (e.g. Gibbs, Schon, Rolfe, Brookfield), models of evaluation (e.g. Kirkpatrick, 360 degree evaluation), learner evaluation, programme evaluation, use of qualitative and quantitative data, identifying assessment outcomes as a basis for improvement/target setting.

Evaluate strengths and areas for improvement in own application of theories and principles of inclusive learning and teaching: SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats), self-reflection, use of feedback from a range of suitable sources (e.g. learners, peer/tutor observations, managers), evaluation theory (Kirkpatrick, 360 degree feedback).

Engage in professional development opportunities to improve own application of theories and principles of learning and communication to inclusive learning and teaching: Action planning, setting SMART targets (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely), strengths and limitations of own skills and knowledge (e.g. experience, qualifications, currency of skills and knowledge), liaison with other agencies and learning professionals, reviews and appraisals, current research relating to inclusive practice.
