Unit Catalogue

This postgraduate unit will allow pre-service teachers to develop their knowledge on literature review and methodologies, build on previous theory units and teaching placements; it also provides an opportunity to explore and analyse educational needs across classroom teaching contexts. Pre-service teachers will examine ways of researching their own practice, recognising personal and systemic gaps in knowing, and using contemporary literature in a critically reflective process to build professional competencies. It also offers a research opportunity to develop professional teaching practices. A career in teaching involves continued learning, both keeping abreast of new developments and to sharpen and expand one's own ability as a teacher or educator.
