The authors advocate an approach to teaching that is based on 'the teacher as reflective practitioner' and to learning that is based on constructivism and metacognition. A reflective practitioner will experiment with a range of strategies and evaluate them for their effectiveness in terms of student learning. Thus the book contains both a summary of some current ideas about learning and a description of many student-centred, active-learning strategies that can be used to supplement didactic teaching in today's diverse classrooms. Specific teaching strategies explored include planning, questioning, explaining and assessing.
