26 min - S4E8 - Nicola Grayson: Pedagogy on the Rocks
Nicola explains how she uses rocks on her PGCAP course to help illustrate the difference between deep and surface learning. We look at telling stories, being iterative and end with a reference to The Infinite Monkey Cage.
Dr Nicola Grayson is an Academic Developer with a research interest in third-space or ‘hybrid’ practitioners (see Grayson and Syska, 2023 and Whitchurch, 2013). Nicola reflects on how her experiences teaching in the third-space inform her approach to teaching within her discipline, and her role supporting HE educators to enhance their teaching practice. She advocates a
playful and an engaging approach to supporting teaching and learning that is integrally iterative (see also Grayson and Napthine-Hodgkinson, 2020)References:
