teaching and learning.

What is learning?

“Learning is …. A way of interacting with the world. As we learn, our conceptions of phenomena change, and we see the world differently. The acquisition of information itself does not bring about such a change, but the way we structure that information and think with it does…Education is about conceptual change, not just the acquisition of information”

(Biggs, 2002)

Learning and motivation

Deep and Surface are two approaches to study, derived from original empirical research by Marton and Säljö (1976) and since elaborated by Ramsden (1992), Biggs (1987, 1993) and Entwistle (1981), among others.

Although learners may be classified as “deep” or “surface”, they are not attributes of individuals: one person may use both approaches at different times, although she or he may have a preference for one or the other.

Deep & surface learning

Based on Ramsden (1988)

Teaching

I do not wish to be a teacher, I am employed as a lecturer and in my naivete I thought my job was to 'know' my field, contribute to it by research and to lecture on my specialism! Students attend my lectures but the onus to learn is on them. It is not my job to teach them.

(Guardian 1991)
