Summary

A generic introductory course intended for those who wish to learn how to use a Mediational Approach to Teaching and Learning, particularly appropriate for supporting A Curriculum for Excellence.

“Feuerstein is the way forward! Everyone working with children should have this training. National Priorities are being addressed through mediated learning.”

Full description

This course is designed to introduce participants to the theory and practice of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) and Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) and its applied systems, Learning Propensity Assessment Device (LPAD) and Instrumental Enrichment (IE), developed by Professor Reuven Feuerstein.

Clinical observations over decades have shown that the development of thinking processes is highly dependent on the nature and quality of the interaction within which selected stimuli are mediated by parents, educators, etc.

This programme and the parenting programme are designed to provide a link between home and school so that interactions within both environments provide support for the same learning objectives and allow teachers and parents to work collaboratively to promote optimal learning in their children/students.

This is a generic course, designed for educators from across all education sectors. As such, it does not concentrate on any one stage of learning or area of the curriculum. Participants will develop their ability to use Feuerstein's parameters of mediated learning and cognitive functions (tools of thinking) to facilitate thinking and learning in children and young people and to improve their development as successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.
