Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The student should be able to:
- evaluate the impact of teaching, curriculum, and the relationship between schools and other life experiences to the learning and development of different children/learners;
- understand some current issues of social and cultural change and their implications for educational policy and practice;
- show development of a personal critical perspective on current practice, relating to social problems and values framework;
- show development of some proposals for educational improvement, drawing on recent policy change and international examples of good practice;
- have enhanced professional skills of organising and managing learning. |
Assessment Information
A single assessment, based on two activities, equally weighted:
1) Learner Study - individual written report (2000 words)
2) Group oral presentation, with visual display, of proposals for a Future School.
Both presentations must include reference to curriculum & assessment, teaching & learning, and schools & social justice
As a course requirement, students will be expected to maintain a reflective commentary on their reading, reflection, responses to lectures, and observations. In extreme cases, to resolve a problem in group assessment, this reflective commentary, a short viva, and/or some writing under supervision may be used as supplementary evidence in reaching a final grade. Students will be required to gain a mark of at least 40% on each assessment, as well as a final (aggregate) mark of at least 40% to pass the course, in accordance with the common marking scheme.
