| Course description |
Curriculum and Pedagogy 2d offers students opportunities to develop understanding about teaching and learning in the areas of Expressive Arts (Art & Design and Drama), Social Studies and Mathematics. The overall purpose is to support students in becoming knowledgeable, confident and reflective teachers in these strands. The curricular areas are considered in the broader context, outlined in the emerging curriculum framework (CfE), and with reference to the education courses running concurrently in the programme. Whilst the curriculum components above will be presented as distinct strands, opportunities will be identified to integrate learning across them. |
