Tertiary education

12 - England - Teaching methods

country: England

theme: 12 - Teaching Methods

Teaching methods are decided by the individual teacher, department, faculty or institution, or a combination of these. Most courses involve a combination of formal lectures and less formal seminars, in which students are encouraged to participate and lead discussions. By their nature, certain courses require practical sessions such as work in a laboratory for science subjects and oral classes for foreign languages. Institutions may exploit information and communications technology, for example, using computer-assisted learning. Some courses also include a work experience component.

Open and distance learning has expanded in recent years not only in the Open University , but also in other institutions which are increasingly offering these types of courses, often taking advantage of information and communications technology such as the internet and e-mail.
