Should teachers be imparting content knowledge or playing the role of a facilitator in a more learner-centred approach? This fundamental question – which may not have an either / or answer – links well the module ‘Learners and Learning’.

We have just explored the ‘in authority’ role of teachers with respect to managing the learning environment.
