SUPPORTING LEARNING IN PRACTICE

This theme considers key aspects to supporting effective learning and teaching in practice. The practice educator requires an understanding of the principles of how to be an effective educator as well as being able to create and maintain an effective practice based learning environment. The skills required for providing effective support for learning and teaching are identified in the skills resources.

The topics covered in the section are:

• Theory associated with supporting learning in practice settings
• Principles of supporting learning in practice settings
• Professional standards where appropriate
• Roles and responsibilities in supporting learning in practice settings
• Guidelines on supporting learning in practice settings
• Skills for supporting learning in practice settings
• Learning Materials

The resources section of this website remains under constant development. The Making Practice Based Learning Work team want to ensure that all links are functioning and that relevant materials are included. Therefore, we would welcome your feedback on the Resources section so that we can refine and develop the materials on offer. If you would like to provide feedback, then complete the online questionnaire to send us your comments on the resources section plus any suggested additions.
