Course content

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 moving from study methods that have a greater degree of support and guidance gradually towards more independence and self-direction. You are supported to choose an area of education that is relevant to your own 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 focussed on exploring teaching phonics, developing enhanced support for students with learning needs in tertiary education, exploring how social interactions can be used to develop teacher-child relationships, looking at the efficacy of the use of tools with non-verbal children, how to enhance teaching of maths and literacy at a range of levels.
