Teaching and learning methods and environment

The teaching and learning methods should be appropriate for the nature of the material to be learnt – knowledge, skills or professional attitudes (e.g. as reflected in behaviour).

Please outline what teaching and learning methods you have chosen to use in your programme and explain the rationale behind your choice.

Examples of evidence

• Describe the rationale for choosing your teaching/learning methodology for the various aspects of the programme (e.g. knowledge, skills and professional attitude/behaviour)
• Outline how much clinical learning takes place in hospitals, clinics and in the community at each stage of the programme. Explain what the students gain from each setting. Indicate if students are exposed to clinical experience in other countries. If so, please describe how this is incorporated into the curriculum.
• Describe if e-learning is incorporated into your curriculum. If so, please explain why and how it is used and provide any evidence of its effectiveness. If there is no e-learning in your school, please explain the reason for this.
• Comment on the student learning environment, including learning spaces (library, study rooms, practical laboratories, skills laboratories, anatomy study areas, lecture theatres, tutorial rooms). Explain how an appropriate learning climate is created, how the safety of the learner is protected, how their respect is maintained and how they are protected from intimidation and harassment (from peers, faculty staff etc.)
