| Course description |
The course has been designed to extend student's awareness and understanding of key areas of the Primary School curriculum, notably Language and literacy and Religious, Moral and Philosophical Studies within the broader context of the BEd (Honours) Primary Programme. In addition to Language and RMPS being acknowledged as, and taught mainly as, discrete strands on the course, advantage is taken throughout of opportunities to demonstrate to students how these areas of leraning can effectively complement each other. The course builds on aspects of Language and literacy covered in Curriculum and Pedagogy 1a and 2a and on aspects of RMPS covered in Curriculum and Pedagogy 2c. |
