Learning and Teaching

Research has shown the importance of pupils playing an active role in their learning so that they are engaged, so that teaching methods meet their needs, and they can reflect on their own learning.

In some schools in Wales, pupils are actively involved in setting learning targets, evaluating and improving teaching and learning. In this section of the web-site, you can read how pupil involvement in these processes has improved learning and well-being.

This approach builds on the principles set out in the model for effective pedagogy. The model describes the conditions that are required in order for the most effective learning and teaching to take place. It is when teaching strategies; the learning process; relationships and environment; and ongoing reflective practice are working together holistically that learning outcomes and learner wellbeing are maximised.
