Course Overview

The learning and teaching strategy of the course encourages an individualised and progressive acquisition of knowledge and skills required for postgraduate study. Learning is scaffolded by gradually moving from study methods with more excellent support and guidance towards more independence and self-direction. You are supported to choose an area of education relevant to your current or future professional practice, which can form the focus of your learning.

Within each module, you focus on an area of education that is particularly relevant and useful to your future career. Previous students have concentrated on exploring teaching phonics, developing enhanced support for students with learning needs in tertiary education, exploring how social interactions can be used to create teacher-child relationships, looking at the efficacy of the use of tools with non-verbal children, how to enhance the teaching of maths and literacy at a range of levels.
