Why is it Necessary to Keep Thinking About Learning as Teachers?

This paper is about what constitutes learning and is written in the form of a deep and honest reflection by an HE practitioner enagaed in the field in post-16 teacher education whilst, at the same time, being trained to teach HE via a programme validated by SEDA (Staff and Educational Development Association). The tensions that exist between what academics think about learning and teaching are explored via addressing in a reflective manner the learning outcomes and values of the SEDA course and reflecting back to the central question of this paper which is that learning is forever changing as we re-position our thinking and take various actions.
