This module descriptor refers to the 2019/0 academic year.
Module Content
Syllabus Plan
The module introduces students to current thinking in Education and Professional Studies and develops students’ curricular, pedagogic and academic subject knowledge in the field of Secondary education. Whilst the module’s precise content may vary from year to year, it is envisaged ey elements of the module will include:
• Lecture Programme: This covers the policies, theories and practice that apply to all teachers in secondary education. This is largely delivered online.
• Subject Specific Follow Up Seminars: These sessions give you an opportunity to build on the content of the lectures in a subject specific manner.
• Seminar Days: Five days when students return to the university to share school-based work experiences and develop the links between the theoretical and practical aspects of teaching.
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.
