This document provides an overview of the ReTeach program, which focuses on teaching and learning in higher education. It includes Chinese proverbs about learning, principles of good teaching, theories of teaching, and frameworks for constructive alignment between learning outcomes, teaching methods, and assessment. The goal of ReTeach is to involve students and teachers in the learning process through active and social learning experiences, clear expectations, feedback, and reflection on teaching practices. References are provided for further reading on quality learning and teaching in higher education.

Three main theories of teaching in HE Theory 1: Teaching as Theory 3: Teaching as telling, transmission or making learning possible – SELF-DIRECTED delivery - PASSIVE teaching is cooperative learning to students are passive recipients help students change their of the wisdom of a single understanding. It focuses on speaker – all problems reside critical barriers to student learning (Threshold Concepts – Meyer and outside the lecturer Land, 2003) Learning is applying and modifying one’s own ideas; it Theory 2: Teaching as is something the student does, rather than something that is done organising or to the student. Teaching is facilitating student speculative and reflective, teaching activities are context- activity - ACTIVE related, uncertain and students are active – problems shared continuously improvable.

- #16: ask participants to bring a module guide with themactivity 1: to put labels in the right order low > high level thinking – use flashcardsactivity 2: to discuss this linked to the learning outcomeslearning outcomes verbs, find them online. use own devicesIn the 1950s, Bloom found that 95% of the test questions developed to assess student learning required them only to think at the lowest level of learning, the recall of information. Recognizing that there are different levels of thinking behaviours important to learning, Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues developed a classification system which has served educators since 1956.The inclusion of higher level thinking skills with information skills activities is a valuable tool and model for teachers seeking to provide challenges for their students.
