Levels of Thinking about Learning and Teaching

Most academics will agree that education is not just about acquisition of knowledge but also the ability to apply that knowledge in the workplace and ideally throughout all aspects of life. As engineering academics we strive to impart real-world situations into our teaching and learning (e.g. through problem solving exercises). We also strive to impart to our students the skill of lifelong learning. Appropriate teaching will assist the student in this process however to fully appreciate what is and what is not appropriate involves an appreciation that there are different levels of thinking about learning and teaching. This resource attempts without embarking on too much theory to outline this concept.
