Plymouth Marjon University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

BA (Hons) Primary Education is for students interested in the world of young people, how they learn and how education systems support their development. The course offers the opportunity to critically examine and question current education systems (nationally and internationally), their historical roots, and the profound effect that culture and society have on the lives of young people. It also enables you to develop knowledge of the broad and complex issues that children face and how educators support them in their learning.

Education is no simple matter; in this course, you unpick many controversies related to curriculum, inclusion, creativity, and the nature of teaching. You explore how children learn and develop, acquire language, become competent learners, learn to socialize, and participate and behave within school contexts.
