This unit explores the theory and practice of teaching and learning and how effective teachers plan to execute productive learning events, including ways in which we assess learning outcomes.

The unit focuses clearly on the development of skills and strategies to facilitate the teaching and learning process. It includes models of the teaching and learning process, teaching skills and strategies, instructional media, theories of learning and measurement and evaluation.
