Tutor Development
Tutors/ demonstrators are often senior students with little or no teaching experience. When tutors/ demonstrators are appropriately trained, tutorials and practicals offer ideal opportunities for students to develop a deeper understanding of academic disciplines. They also offer an environment for the development of higher order learning while students can take a more active role in their own learning.
An initial orientation to small group teaching or demonstrating will give tutors /demonstrators a headstart in developing the required facilitation skills, while well-conceptualised on-going tutor/demonstrator development programmes will encourage tutors and demonstrators to hone their task and group management skills, questioning skills and interpersonal skills.
