Intensive mode teaching and Learning refers to educational activities that occur on fewer days, and for Longer each day, than a 'traditional' unit or module in the discipline. In traditional education, a full-time student studies between four and eight subjects or units per term or per semester at school, TAFE or university. Hence, each subject or unit is effectively part-time study, taking up between 10% and 25% of the study hours available in each week. By way of contrast, an intensive mode subject might take between 30% and 100% of the available study hours. Examples include field trips and study tours, during which students devote 100% of the available hours to a single subject.
