Our starting point is that, students who

are actively involved in and have

greater responsibility for their own

learning are more likely to be really

successful.

.

STUDENT CENTRED LEARNING

© City & Guilds Page ‹#›

The evidence is clear that vocational

education needs to be taught in the context

of practical problem-solving…….

The best vocational education learning is

broadly:

hands-on, practical, experiential, real-world

as well as, and often at the same time as,

something which involves

feedback, questioning, application and

reflection and, when required, theoretical

models and explanations.
