6 1 Teaching /Learning and Assessment Methods The subject is based on the principle of developing independent, critical thinking students who will be insightful advocates of children. The programme is designed to: Help students understand how to use learning resources, human and material (including technological), and how to engage others in reciprocal learning relationships Assist students to assume increasing responsibility for defining their own learning programme and evaluating their progress Encourage students to be self-aware and to organise new learning and problem solving in a way that connects with present knowledge Encourage students to self-assess their learning progress, development and achievement Encourage students to define learning in terms of questions to be answered and problems to be solved. The teaching strategies and learning experiences therefore reflect an increasing proportion of individualised and self-directed learning approaches. Students will be encouraged as they progress to take personal responsibility for achieving the learning outcomes through their own efforts. They will be expected to engage in collaborative learning activities with knowledgeable tutors and pursue individual inquiry. Independent study using reflection, analysis, enquiry, synthesis and evaluation are essential elements in learning. Teaching & Learning Students are encouraged to take a critical stance to the theories, findings and approaches of the discipline. In terms of teaching and learning, this typically involves a change from initially supported and guided study to more independent and self-directed study. Throughout, there is an emphasis on active learning and the acquisition of both generic and subject-specific skills and abilities, through a variety of learning and teaching strategies. There are many different forms of teaching and learning, including workshops, lectures, seminars, VLE such as Moodle, individual tutorials, guided reading, independent study, discussion groups, action learning sets, distance learning, individual project supervision, inquiry based learning, opportunities to reflect on personal and different perspectives etc. These categories are not mutually exclusive. As well as developing familiarity with literature and published research, the use of audio-visual media is integrated throughout the programme. Assessment The programme incorporates a variety of assessment methods and strategies that reflect the stated aims and overall learning outcomes for the programme, as well as those specifically written for any particular element. The range and breadth of assessment is designed to enable students to demonstrate
7 progression towards a variety of specific and general skills and qualities expected of a graduate, and also an increasing degree of independence and autonomy in their studies. The variety of assessment methods are clearly related to the learning outcomes. Assessment methods may include; essays, reports, exams, case-studies, reflective diaries, rationales, analytical pieces of writing, problem-solving investigation. In addition, critical analysis of case studies, presentations in groups and individually and planning learning opportunities for young children are incorporated. The first year of study incorporates a variety of strategies to support students in developing the skills required for the different types of assessment. Assessment criteria are explicit and contain clear expectations that develop progressively. The purpose of assessment is to enable students to demonstrate that they have met the learning outcomes of the programme and achieved the standard required for the award. 5.

The External Examiner s Report for Early Childhood Studies in July 2011 stated student performance continues to improve and in many instances exceeds the standards achieved on other UK institutions, and staff are forward thinking, research active, respectful and keen to enhance the learning experience of their students. Individual students are known to staff who show an understanding of the needs of full time and part time students gleaned over many years. The team is actively involved with the Early Childhood Degree Network. National agendas and priorities inform some of the research within the Early Childhood team and the programme content. Links are currently being established with the USA, Finland and Denmark which could provide opportunities for study abroad as part of the programme. 8 Relationship with Subject Benchmark Statement The 2007, QAA / DCSF Early Childhood Studies Standards indicate the knowledge and skills a graduate at each level would be expected to be able to demonstrate. All Early Childhood students should acquire a measure of the skills required by the discipline. The multidisciplinary nature of the subject area means that it equips students with a wide range of subject-specific and generic skills. The intention is to offer steady supported progression towards competence, criticality, independence and reflexivity in both academic and professional practice settings, which allows for a more rounded and well-balanced education enabling students to pursue a wide range of careers.

13 The teaching, learning and assessment methods are founded on the three goals of the University s learning, teaching and assessment strategy (LTA) which are; Developing confident learners Supporting high quality teaching that is research informed Ensuring appropriate assessment for learning In addition the programme promotes a learning culture that allows students to become confident and active enquirers and utilises a powerful learning and teaching environment, which enables communities of learners to form and reform readily. Through these devices students are encouraged to challenge their existing beliefs and values in respect of the constituent disciplines of Education, leading to new ways of understanding the world of educational. Teaching and Learning The Education component of the degree draws on a model of learning which suggests that there is a dynamic and integral relationship between: The content of the curriculum, and success within this The disposition to learning a love for learning The relationships created in the educational setting The emotional and spiritual space in which learning takes place. Students are encouraged to take a critical and evaluative stance to the theories, research findings and theoretical approaches that comprise the discipline. In terms of teaching and learning, this typically involves a gradual change from initially supported and guided study to more independent and self-directed study. Throughout, there is an emphasis on active learning and the acquisition of both broad and subject-specific skills and abilities, through a variety of learning and teaching strategies. There are many different forms of teaching and learning, including workshops, lectures, tutorials, Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) such as Moodle, individual tutorials, guided reading, independent study, online forum discussion groups, student groups, distance learning, individual project supervision, research projects and opportunities to reflect on practice. These categories are not mutually exclusive. Lectures may for instance, involve student activities and opportunities for dialogue. Assessment The assessment strategy is driven by the nature of the four constituent disciplines and the focus on rigorous, academic study. The pathway incorporates a variety of assessment methods and strategies that reflect the aims and overall learning outcomes for the pathway as a whole. Assessment methods are chosen to complement and support the learning and
14 teaching methods and will reflect the theoretical and practical nature of the constituent disciplines. The assessment methods employed may include essay assignments, examinations, poster creation and presentations and reflective journals. Within each course, a varied range and breadth of assessments will encourage and enhance the development of generic and subject specific skills. The set assignments will draw upon a wide range of educational contexts including the formal and inform in both the UK and abroad. A variety of strategies to support students in developing the skills required for the different types of assessment will be introduced, especially during the first year of study. Assessment criteria are explicit and contain clear expectations that develop progressively. 5.

Full information is provided for all prospective students at 7 Special Features The BA Education is one of only a small number of Education degrees in England that focus on the four constituent disciplines of Education, namely the Sociology, History, Philosophy and Psychology of Education. The BA Education is a compulsory pathway for all undergraduate degrees offered in the Faculty of Education. A feature of this is that students on different degree programmes and pathways will study alongside one another providing opportunities for interdisciplinary debate and exchange of ideas. This is a deliberate policy rather than a consequence of the University s combined degree structure. Students will be in tutorial groups of 10 allowing for meaningful relationships to be developed with tutors and peers. Students will be taught by a core team of academic staff with doctoral qualifications. The Education Core Team come from a range of backgrounds and disciplines enabling a programme with great the breadth and depth to be offered. The BA Education will draw on the Faculty s five research centres giving undergraduate students access to active researchers and internationally recognised scholarship. The BA Education is underpinned by the Faculty and University s values with a
16 commitment to education as a means of humanising society. The Core Team is actively involved with the Education Studies Network and plays a significant role in BESA, the national organisation. Students on the BA Education will be part of an active community of learners and educators of different hues and persuasions. The BA Education has a strong international dimension to it with a focus on global citizenship. Students will have access to a range of international opportunities within both the Faculty and the University. 8 Relationship with Subject Benchmark Statement The 2007 QAA Education Studies benchmarks are phrased in terms of what knowledge and skills a graduate at each level would be expected to be able to demonstrate. They have informed the development of the curriculum. The Education component meets the subject benchmark statements for Education Studies.
