What this paper is about
Nau mai, haere mai!
This paper explores teaching and learning in a variety of contexts, lifelong and life-wide. However, the main focus is adult learning.
Learning and teaching are universal human activities that take place in a variety of settings. This paper aims to meet the needs of a broad range of participants with interest in learning and teaching principles and practices in both formal and informal settings.
In class and online, we will explore how learning theories inform our thinking and practice as educators in a variety of settings, including workplaces, and engage in challenging ourselves as learners to realise our own personal learning goals. You will be invited to research, contextualise and incorporate your own learning experiences and develop philosophies of education to last a lifetime.
