An introduction to learning contracts, a new concept in education which encourages learners to plan, monitor and review their progress. The contributors to this volume explain how learning contracts are being used in a number of UK universities.
Presents a range of case studies demonstrating the best practice in the use of learning contracts, by which the student agrees to study for a certain amount of time, and school staff agrees to bestow a certain assessment or credit. Also assesses the examples to point out issues raised, lessons to be learned, and the potential for future development. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
