About the Book

This book is a complete introduction for all educators who want to understand the techniques, theories and methods of teaching today. It explores the issues that underpin teaching, offering fresh insights with a broad multidisciplinary perspective. It will help teachers at all levels to understand the techniques that they can call upon at different times and situations, and will help to develop more effective teaching practice.

This fully updated second edition contains new material on e-moderating and its implications for teaching theory, issues surrounding discipline, and the ethical dimensions of teaching.
The Theory and Practice of Teaching will be of interest to anyone wanting to develop a deep understanding of the key themes and latest developments in teaching, and is an ideal companion volume to The Theory and Practice of Learning.

Reviews

'Here we have the second edition (the first having appeared in 2002) of one of a pair of important books by a gifted writer in this field.We hope that The theory and practice of learning will reach its second edition soon too, though continue to wonder (as we did in 2002) why such an expert as Jarvis seems to put teaching before learning.'

'This is a good book, taking its title in the strict sense that shows the theory leading the practice. Its seventeen chapters, in three groups (philosophy, methodology and er assessment;open learning; professionalism), all work well even if often in very separate boxes. There are lots of further reading and an excellent index.'
