Description
Summary:In a globally interdependent world, teachers are charged with preparing learners for a complex, interactive world. This educational challenge requires teachers to develop learners with critical, creative and conceptual minds, while still teaching the required content. Therefore developing the individual learner's ability to construct personalised meaning for new concepts is a prerequisite for the classroom.

This revivefies the question of how to plan, structure and assess in order to accommodate these requirements while enhancing learner abilities and achiement. === Teacher Education === D.Ed.
