  • Ways in which we learn and how learning can be supported
  • The major families of learning theories – their development and use
  • How approaches to teaching can be influenced by tacit and explicit learning theories
  • How insights from neuroscience can impact on classroom learning
  • How knowledge gained about learning and learners can be applied in practical educational and training contexts
