Overview
Engage with fundamental questions concerning the aims, values and outcomes of education, within your sphere of practice.
You’ll be encouraged to reflect on your role within the educational process and how your personal aims and values might influence your practice. You’ll explore incidences of when policy and practice are misaligned and the practical implications of this within your field, drawing on your understanding of educational theory to propose solutions.
Face-to-face delivery will be across five workshops with further complementary resources and activities available online. Distance learners will have further resources and activities online which will be complimented with five webinars.
Workshops/Webinars
- Values in Education
- Curriculum design
- The hidden curriculum
- Evaluation of education
- Lifelong learning
The assignment is in two parts
- Submission of a poster, reflecting on how an educational thinker has influenced your practice.
- Submission of essay, exploring an element of the ‘hidden curriculum’, the potential effects of this on your students, and suggestions for how this can, or should, be addressed.
