This book clarifies the specific skills that students are expected to learn in practical settings and provides an up-to-date review of how to develop these skills. It provides concrete, evidence-informed teaching strategies to ensure that students are really learning from their experiences in the lab, field or work placement and developing the practical, job-ready skills that universities are increasingly asked to deliver. By focusing on teaching interactions around questioning, providing feedback on student work, explaining and demonstrating, and the management of relationships with a class, the book allows teachers to rapidly understand and apply these techniques with their own classes.
