be able understand content structure.
2. Need repeated exposure to lectures in order to master the content.

The link between teaching, learning and research
• Good teaching is informed by subject discipline research– Teaching and learning are often structured around subject

developed through research activities such as research projects, publications, and involvement in a research community.
• Teaching is also informed by research into teaching and learning
• When this happens, teaching practice becomes scholarly
The process of scholarly teaching involves:
• Identifying the problem or opportunity
