Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A range of delivery methods will be used in this module including tutorials, workshops and use of the University’s VLE. You will also employ a range of learning and teaching methods including individual learning and group work. LOs1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. Student presentations, online tutor/student-led discussions, and resources such as subject-specific equipment, technology and the outdoors, will be used, as appropriate, to develop student learning. LOs 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. It should be noted that the sciences are entitled to additional hours for laboratory-based workshops on health and safety; in the other curricular areas these hours will be allocated to additional directed study tasks which students will undertake independently. LOs 2,3. You will also be undertaking serial day visits to Secondary schools to explore key themes from the associated module Contexts of Learning. It is expected that you will be able to explore these themes within your curricular areas as part of these non-teaching visits and so enhance knowledge of effective pedagogies and curricular knowledge. LOs 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5.

Throughout the module, you will complete various tasks for which you will receive feedback. These tasks will focus on preparing you for school experience and will relate to lesson planning, and selecting appropriate teaching and learning methods and assessment strategies. Indicative formative tasks:- Developing presentation and communication skills by using board writing to explain calculations or formulaic approach -Presentation of a curricular concept and development to model effective learning and teaching-Demonstration of the use of strategies and skills to model classroom organisation and management-Using peer feedback to develop lesson planning- Create resources to model formative assessment strategies such as lesson starters, plenaries and show-me-boards - Comparison of national standards of national qualification level marking techniques in conjunction with university lecturers and representatives from the national authority. Formative assessment will also involve the use of video technology. You will have the opportunity to be filmed carrying out tasks such as board writing, explaining calculations or undertaking practical experiments. Curricular lecturers will also be available by appointment to offer feedback on parts of this filming process so as to improve your teaching practice. Focus groups of teachers, consulted prior to establishing this course, indicated that a very high priority for them was skill development and this video technique will allow self-improvement as well as feedback from your peers and/or experienced lecturers.

Summative assessment consists of two components. The first of these will involve you writing an essay of 2,000 words (LOs 1-4) and be equivalent to sixty percent of the grade for this module. This will be submitted after the first school placement and before the Christmas break (Tri 1 Wk 15) and will be a reflection on development of your professional knowledge and understanding, skills and abilities, as result of this practice. During the associated first school placement you will reflect upon your teaching practice, using a weekly format style of a reflective journal. This journal writing (LO5) will then form forty percent of the overall assessment for this module and be submitted together with the first component (Tri 1 Wk15). The assessment brief will clarify the relationship between summative assessment and the specific learning outcomes for the module.
