Browse Hierarchy PGCE6034: Professional Studies

This module is concerned with the set of attitudes, skills and knowledge required to develop understanding of the full professional life of a teacher. It considers particularly the issues and challenges related to: why and how schools work as they do; why and how teachers teach as they do; why and how children learn as they do. This is done in a way that supports, enhances and links with all other modules to consider the processes of planning, teaching and assessment. The module values trainees' own experiences, and endeavours to provide a key role in developing reflective practice, thus fostering the self-esteem and confidence required to meet children's needs in an imaginative and stimulating way.
