What is Teaching and Learning Practice in Vocational Education and Training (VET)?
Teaching practice is "the process by which knowledge, attitudes or skills are deliberately conveyed, and includes the total instructional process from planning and implementation to evaluation and feedback." (Australian Council for Education Research, Australian Thesaurus of Education Descriptors, [online], Available at: http://url.edna.edu.au/N29E). Learning practice is "the process of acquiring knowledge, attitudes, or skills from study, instruction, or experience" (Australian Council for Education Research, Australian Thesaurus of Education Descriptors, [online], Available at: http://url.edna.edu.au/RhHX).
In this theme page, topics are specific to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, and include blended learning, teaching and learning styles, training package implementation, teacher reflection on practice, and implementing web 2.0 in course provision.
