 ==== Learning in Theory ====
-Learning theories are based on behaviourism, cognitivism and constructivism. In every one of these categories, learning occurs differently as shown in the figure below. For rail higher education of good quality, a combination of all three categories should be employed.

 ==== Forms of Learning ====
-There are two widely spread forms of learning: Teacher-centred learning (TCL) and Student-centred learning (SCL) as shown in the figure below. It is not proven which of these two forms should be broadly employed to enhance rail skills development and improve the quality of rail higher education provision. \\

 ==== Teaching Approaches ====

 For rail-focued subjects, practical and lab-based exercises should also be included to enhance the student experience and build concrete knowledge. \\

 ==== Teacher's Role ====
-The quality of learning outcome is strongly dependant on both the form of learning and the role of the teacher within it. For different teaching and learning stances, the teacher's role can be different. The teacher can either act as Director, or as Leading Learner, or as Nurturer or as Facilitator. Every one of these roles require different function, method and approach (figure below).

 ===== ASTONRail Methods Catalogue =====
-The ASTONRail methods catalogue has been developed in the ASTONRail project. It shows teaching and learning types, methods and assessment methods with their most important characteristics applicable in rail teaching and learning. For each teaching and learning type, method and assessment method at least one best practice example from the ASTONRail project partner universities is included. You can find the catalogue [[tm_database_welcome|here]].
