Programme Content

The programme will focus on the pedagogy in the UK for subject content teaching.  The programme will therefore have a twin focus on both the subject area and aspects of teaching and learning.

We will explore contemporary approaches to teaching and learning such as task-based learning, interaction-based learning, discovery learning, motivation, providing feedback to pupils and ways of engaging pupils.

In addition, we will explore materials used in subject teaching and the pedagogic basis of the materials.

Learning Resource Centre

A range of resources to support you

Our Learning Resources Centre is a whole building dedicated specifically to learning resources, where far from the traditional materials of a library, participants will find resources from and to be used in schools, for every subject and curricular level.

Approaches to Learning

Study in a supportive learning environment

We will use active learning methods involving practical activities, problem-solving strategies, reflection and developing critical thinking strategies.  Our programme will examine examples of good pedagogic practice both in the UK and elsewhere.
