This introductory unit contributes to students’ foundation knowledge in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) degree. It facilitates an understanding of how learners construct knowledge and become self-motivated thinkers and problem solvers. The unit provides a means of acquiring knowledge about the nature and processes of learning, and an awareness of the cognitive, personal, social and environmental factors that influence the development and learning experiences of diverse learners. The study of learning theories and research will contribute to the professional development of students as life-long, autonomous learners, capable of reflection and high-level thinking, and build their capacity as educators, to promote similar development in their students.
