First Words on Teaching and Learning by David Baume First Words on Teaching and Learning was first published in 1996 as a set of pages on the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development’s website. It was intended primarily for new lecturers at Oxford Brookes University, UK but has been popular around the World ever since. Learning by Doing: a guide to teaching and learning methods by Graham Gibbs The reflective learning cycle presented in the book models how learners can link theory and practice through engaging in a cyclical sequence of activities: describing, feeling, evaluating, analysing, concluding and action planning. This model has been particularly influential in teacher development programmes and in professions allied to medicine. Small Group Teaching by David Jaques Small group discussion fulfils several important goals of higher education. It encourages students to organise their thinking by comparing ideas and interpretations with each other and to give expression, and hence form, to their understanding of a subject. It is therefore immensely important as a vehicle for learning. What we Know by Chris Rust What do we think we know about student learning, and what are the implications for improving that learning? There is a lot of published research about student learning and this is an attempt to summarise that literature and to take stock of what we think we know already.
