A comprehensive course let down by poor recording quality. It was obviously put together a long time ago, but most of the content holds up very well today. I am not a teacher, but I am a librarian, and I have learned a lot from Professor John MacBeath. This introductory course doesn't take very long to complete. I fully recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of teaching and see how they feel about completing further courses. There are nine courses in the Foundations of Teaching for Learning set. To those complaining that there is no guidance on the course order, I agree that it is inconvenient not to have this information upfront, but you will receive an email along with your grade stating which the next course on the pathway is. (Being a Teacher is Part 2!)

The content in this course is a very good introduction to educational theory and practice.

There is just one aspect I philosophically disagree with, yet this is a pivotal point in education. The course assumes that Education is a way to change behaviour (as an external factor)

Yet I am more inclined to the philosophy of: Education is to lift man up from the animal state; and by this uplift man will change his own relationship with the world (internal factor).

The theory and practice given in this course are still valuable though, regardless of this difference in viewpoint.

La forma de evaluar los trabajos escritos no me parece adecuada, ya que lo s que escribimos en idioma diferente al ingles salimos mal evaluados porque algunos compañeros no leen en español, pero no hay una opción de no poder evaluar, por lo que deciden poner la evaluación más baja sin haber leído el ensayo. Ya que no se toman el tiempo de usar un traductor. Por lo que les sugiero, poner una opción que diga, no me es posible leer este ensayo y pasar a otro trabajo y a otro lector. Por lo demás me parece muy buen curso, tomare los 7 que faltan. Gracias

Many great thought-provoking concepts of learning theory introduced here. The course is easy to follow, although the the quizzes sometimes contained questions that didn't seem connected to anything discussed in the videos - but I could have missed something, I suppose. I recommend listening at x1.25 speed because the professor has a very ponderous style of speaking.

This course gave me much to consider. They were many practices I want to try. The readings and videos led me to rethink the material I already developed for a secondary school course. The quizzes could have been more challenging. The essays were fun to write. First time I put those thoughts in words. Some of that goes into my portfolio.

The course was really useful. The only thing that I consider necessary to mention is that the criteria for peer-reviewing are a bit vague. Everyone apparently understand them slightly (and sometimes not so slightly) differently and it seems to create significant differences in the ways essays are written and graded by peers.

Certainly for self-teachers, disciplined people who want to go the extra step. Really nice contextualizing, not too difficult in terms of time or content but certainly stimulating. Forms a nice basis for continuous improvement and self -reflection for those of use who were not trained to do so in a more formal setting.

Really well put together course, easy to get into, but certainly not to underestimate... the work load of 3-4 hours per week is easily reached, as there's loads of interesting material to go through and the test's at the end are impossible to get through, if you haven't followed the program fully.

This course is really good. It makes a great foundation on thinking , learning , teaching and evolution. Well organised , researched and thoughtful content. I certainly recommend this course for Teaching Profession.

this course is interesting and taught me alot. However, i have finsihed the course and i hope i would be able to attain my certficate as soon as possible or immediately as i need this for my university application

Interesting topics that are helpful for new teachers. The projects help by making you think about the material in relation to your classroom. I found the peer-reviewing process hit-and-miss.

I learned a lot from the lectures. The essay grades should not be solely based on peer review. There should be instructor input on the essay grade as well.

very good course. it focuses more around reflecting on your ideas about education, as opposed to teaching you concrete teaching techniques

This course was solid grounding for an education industry professional with little formal experience in teaching.
