This module descriptor refers to the 2017/8 academic year.
Module Content
Syllabus Plan
The module introduces students to current thinking in the teaching of Mathematics and develops students’ pedagogic and academic subject knowledge in the field of Mathematics education. Key elements of the module include:
- Theory, planning, reflection and development seminars to cover the theoretical basis of Mathematics education and how this is linked to practical concerns in the classroom.
- Classroom pedagogy seminars to cover the range of practice in current Mathematics teaching. These also act to refresh students subject knowledge in Mathematics.
- Peer Teaching.
- Seminar Days: Five days when students return to the university to share school-based work experiences and develop the links between theoretical and practical aspects of teaching Mathematics.
On the Secondary PGCE, you will learn and reflect on the skills and knowledge required by the programme’s credit-bearing and non-credit bearing modules throughout the year. You will need to think about the modules in relation to each other. To facilitate this, the learning and teaching activities and guided independent study described below are scheduled to occur across all three terms both in the context of your university taught course and in the context of your 24 weeks of applied professional experience in schools.
