“This was an informative course which enabled me to learn in particular about the relationship between working memory challenges and learning. The course provided an effective
balance between theoretical concepts and practical examples to support the development of strategies that I could share with adult learners.”
“Whilst completing this course, it has made me more aware of metacognition as a HLTA, and I used the ‘left or right brainer’ exercise on my year 9 and 10 groups of SEN students.
They are now aware of how they are as a learner, and I regularly refer back to it when in class.”
“I would like to provide thanks for the high level of tutor support which was provided within the forums”
“Thank you for providing an excellent course.”
This unit is comprised of three study cycles, each of which includes a Study, Practice, Reflect, and Collaborate section. There are also associated practical tasks, with reference to current research and case studies.
