This unit addresses the skills, arguments and theoretical frameworks pertinent to teaching and supporting learning in the particular higher education context of the science laboratory. It examines this from both the tutor's and the students' points of view. Its broad aim is to clarify the role and function of the tutor in such settings and to identify the skills of design, planning and management. The focus will be on developing conceptual frameworks that underpin discussions on rationale, purpose and design.
