Overview
Module aims and purpose
The module comprises a series of themed sessions looking at the theory and research underpinning professional development in a range of educational institutions. The themed sessions are supplemented by teaching on the principles and practices of educational research. In combination, the sessions challenge students to reflect on the practical and conceptual aspects of being and becoming an educator.聽聽
Students examine a number of key themes, introducing them to teamwork and professionalism, communication and networking, developing the skills of a reflective practitioner, staff support and engagement with learners. Each student then arranges and carry out a placement in an educational institution of their choosing, and plans an educational research project related to a topic of their choice.聽聽
The aim is for students to critically reflect upon their extended placement, drawing upon literature, research, observations, conversations, and day-to-day experiences, in order to make tentative conclusions about their own professional development and their next steps in becoming an educator. Additionally, students explore a specific topic of interest through their educational research projects in order to develop their investigative skills and dispositions ahead of the dissertation in part 3.聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:聽
- Explain key principles and theory behind different aspects of professional development, with specific reference to an educational institution while being reflective, research informed, ethical and critical thinkers, able to apply their knowledge in different educational contexts.聽
- Organise and complete a work placement in an educational institution, demonstrating effective management of their work schedule and fulfilment of the employer鈥檚 requirements.聽
- Critically reflect on their experiences during the work placement, with a view to making conclusions about effective practice and how they might improve their own practice in the future.聽
- Communicate their findings effectively through a range of formative and summative assessments.聽
Module content
Semester 1 focuses on introducing students to 聽themed sessions and to key aspects of educational research. During this part of the module, students develop their project proposal. Alongside this, students will be in the process of completing their placement, which can be between summer and Semesters 2. Based on their experiences on placement, and with reference to their project plan, students complete the module by presenting their learning and reflections on their own professional development.聽聽
There will also be opportunities to discuss individual placements with staff, previous students and other local professionals.
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
The initial group sessions explore research and theory in relation to specific areas of professional development. There will be a heavy emphasis on discussion and problem solving, as well as opportunities to reflect on placement experiences.聽聽

At least 18 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online.

- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
