Practice learning and teaching

"This new textbook attends to both students' and practice teachers' needs in its conception of learning and teaching as closely knit activities that can be enhanced by a greater degree of partnership between teachers and their students. Rooted in the belief that practice learning must be firmly grounded in principles derived from educational, social and psychological theories about how people learn, it proposes a distinctive model for the promotion of learning on placement that, while flexible in its methodology, recognises the need for a structured curriculum and systematic and clear assessment procedures for successful learning outcomes." "Theoretical principles are illustrated by examples from practice to make this a lucid and coherent account of one of the key strands in social work education."--BOOK JACKET.
