This workshop focuses on Principle 2, knowing relevant practices. Evidence-based practices and ongoing evaluation encourage ākonga to engage actively with subject content and each other, and to challenge the thinking, fixed practices, or misunderstandings of both ākonga and kaiako.

By the end of the workshop, kaiako will be able to:

  • identify a range of evidence-based practices that encourage ākonga to engage actively with subject content and each other
  • consider tools for ongoing evaluation of teaching impact on ākonga learning

This workshops are designed to support the aims of the Ako Aotearoa project Ako Explored – Six principles for enhancing learner outcomes in tertiary education
