What is a teaching aim ?
The teaching aim is to determine what the learner will know/ or be able to produce by the end of the module. So you should ask yourself what the learners will know/ will know what to do by the end of the module. So, when developing the teaching aims of a module, a pedagogical engineer will define the knowledge and skills which the learner will acquire. These teaching aims will also specify and observable actions and ones that can be evaluated will attest to the skills acquired by the learners.
Knowledge can be "formal" (theoretical or procedural) referring to knowledge or it can be "practical", referring to skills as well as knowledge.
- Training engineering concerns the arrangement of the training (structure and organisation)
- Pedagogical engineering concerns the organisation of all the teaching, with a view to answering the learning objectives.
It is therefore going to be organised around the teaching and be based on how the learning path has been set out, in a combination of pedagogical sequences aimed at learners.
