Key features
• Learners play the role of decision-maker, auditor, consultant or advisor, NOT people who learn how to pass tests
• Problems are unstructured (open-ended) that require resolution – there will not always be a ‘correct’ answer!
• We want to find out what you know, rather than what you don’t know
• No ’mugging up’, no testing of memories, no regurgitation of textbooks …
• Tell us what you’ve learnt that will make you a better early childhood educator
