Formal learning is a structured and organized educational model that follows a syllabus and is conducted within an educational or training institution. Coursera's formal learning catalogue teaches you to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of formal education systems. You'll learn about curriculum development, instruction methods, educational psychology, and assessment techniques. Furthermore, you will gain insights into the role of technology in education, special education practices, and contemporary issues in formal learning. This broadens your perspectives as an educator, educational planner, academic counselor, or anyone interested in the field of education and learning.
