Overview
Module aims and purpose
This module provides an opportunity for students to consider in depth an aspect of their practice in education, which may be related to teaching any school setting, or working in education in community settings, or working in education practice in other institutions.
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Identify a focus and implement and critically evaluate an investigation of their educational practice
- Engage with and carry out an investigation in an educational context
- Critically evaluate and reflect the impact of their educational practice, based on appropriate academic reading
Module content
Building on the topic(s) discussed in EDM114, students will design and complete some educational activities in a chosen professional setting to develop an aspect of their educational practice that they will identify in consultation with their tutor. The purpose of this is for them to critically examine and reflect on their educational practice, and also devise and deliver educational activities for different audiences, depending on the setting they chose to work in.
Students will need to find an appropriate setting in which to complete this investigation. This may include (but is not exclusive to) early years settings, primary and secondary schools, adult education settings, community education settings, and other institutions such as museums, hospitals, prisons, and businesses where educational activity takes place. The student may be employed at the setting, or be working in a voluntary capacity.
Students will write a critical reflection of the activity, drawing on appropriate academic literature to discuss and evaluate the activities undertaken. The critical reflection will explain how they developed the student鈥檚 educational practice and the impact of the activities on those who participated.
