Module Organisation

Students are divided into 4 groups for professional studies.

Sessions take place on a Friday

Professional Studies days consist of lead lectures, seminar workshops and student self study tasks (see the following timetable)

Students will note that self study tasks form an essential aspect of the module and students are expected to fully engage with these in the furtherance of their professional development (details on pages 18-21)

Students will compile a portfolio of evidence related to their self study activity during the professional studies module

Self study tasks will be set regularly during the module

Semester 1 Outline

In preparation for student’s first school experience semester 1 will focus on professional practice. This will involve examining aspects of the learning cycle (planning, teaching, differentiation and assessment), a consideration of behaviour management strategies and individual needs whilst placing current issues in teaching and learning under scrutiny.

Students are encouraged to actively engage with the sessions through discussion, participation and analysis. It is hoped the sessions will challenge student’s thinking and allow them the opportunity to openly reflect in developing and refining their own practitioner pedagogy.

Throughout this module, links will be made between theory and practice. We will draw upon your previous experiences in schools and other settings and we will suggest ways in which you might apply aspects of this module within your next placement. Specific school based tasks will be included within the relevant School Experience handbook. Please ensure that you note these prior to starting your School Experience. We will make reference to these during sessions and will expect you to draw upon these when completing the assignment.

PROFESSIONAL STUDIES ASSIGNMENT

(Equivalent to 4000 words)

Title: Creating a Positive Learning Environment.

Essay (2500 words)

Select one specific aspect of an effective environment for learning and teaching.

Critically analyse how embedding this aspect within classroom practice will help to promote effective learning.

Your ‘aspect’ must be chosen from one of the following areas of pedagogy.

Either

i. The importance of reward in developing both learning and motivation. Reference should be made to praise and both intrinsic and extrinsic motivational strategies within the discussion.

ii. How group dynamics can be managed by the teacher to promote effective learning in a social context

iii. How an understanding of children’s emotional development is essential to the promotion of effective working relationships in fostering learning

iv. How teachers differentiate in the classroom in order to support the progress of all children

v. The importance of feedback and marking in developing children’s learning – an evaluation of formative assessment strategies

You will need to draw on observations from your initial school placement, notes from sessions, further reading, reflections, and relevant research articles. 

The assignment will be structured so that theory and practice are interwoven and you will explore how educational research is related to what teachers do in creating effective learning environments for their pupils.

Appendix (1500 word equivalence)

As part of the assignment, you are required to submit a short portfolio of appendices demonstrating the processes undertaken to support the writing of your essay.

You need to include:

1. A detailed essay plan, in a format of your choice e.g. mind map, flow chart, etc. This should be a working document, indicating the ways in which your essay structure has evolved over time

2. A reading diary, to provide evidence of the range of reading you have undertaken. This should be completed as you read and should include details of the source (author, year, title and publisher) and brief notes re its content. The diary may make reference to sources which are not ultimately included in your bibliography.

3. Relevant observations (3-4) from experience in school, including your initial 2-week placement. Each of these should be accompanied by a brief (200 words maximum) commentary, indicating the impact of what was noted on teaching / the learning environment and therefore on pupil learning.

Submission Date: Friday, 4th November (Week 6)

Return date: Friday 16th December (Week 12)

Marking Criteria: See generic marking criteria below

Marking process will be in accordance with the University’s Moderation of Assessed Work Policy

issues that arise in classroom practice in early years and primary education are key, in the development of reflective practice and will contribute towards you developing your identity as a teacher, your understanding of children’s lives and the skills necessary for teaching and learning.

As part of the Professional Studies module you will be given a number of self study tasks (SST’s).

The SST’s are set out below and will also be discussed in the first lead lecture. SSTs will be utilised in a variety of ways, as pre-reading, as informative reading, as practical tasks or for evaluative purposes. We suggest that you start a ‘PS portfolio’ in which you keep all the work that you do for these tasks. This portfolio will not be assessed or looked at by tutors but you will find that it will invaluable in developing your professional pedagogy.

SELF STUDY TASKSWeek 1

ReflectionWe would like you to start a reflective journal which you then use for your professional development. The aim of the journal is to develop your ability to take responsibility for your own professional development through reflecting on your learning and we would like you to start by reflecting on your own school experience both as a pupil when you were at school but also more recently when on your initial pre-course placement. Think about those time when your learning was effective – what were the ‘conditions of learning’, were you inspired by a particular person , the environment you worked in or something else. Were there any barriers you your learning, what were they, how could they have been overcome? Consider your future role as a teacher in light of these reflections, how do you think your own learning experience will impact on your future role? Share your reflections with someone else from the group, what was similar, what was different to your experience?

Week 2

AwarenessEducation is often in the news! We would like you to make yourselves aware of the key issues that are

currently making the educational headlines. Think widely and beyond the National Curriculum. Take a look at the Department for Education website (http://www.education.gov.uk/). You can use TES (http://www.tes.co.uk/) and the Education Guardian (published on a Tuesday but also available at http://www.guardian.co.uk/education). Discuss some of the issues with your peers- consider some of the proposals in light of your recent school experience and then try and form an opinion about one or two issues. What is your vision for primary education is it similar or different to that put forward by the Department for Education

Week 3

Pre- Reading – Behaviour ManagementWe would like you to read the article by Bill Rogers entitled ‘The Language of Discipline’ from the reading pack. Discuss this article with peers in light of your experience in schools. Which of the strategies advocated could you have used in your initial placement or have you seen used, how effective or not were they?

Weeks 3 and 4 (Mini Lesson Preparation Study Task)

Work in a group of 3. On the Friday of Week 5, you will be taking turns to teach a mini-lesson. Each of you in turn will take the role of teacher, of pupil and of observer. You will have 10-12 minutes to

19

Advanced Planning for School Experience 1In light of the SE briefing and thinking about the QTS standards and what you have already seen in school, we would like you to take some time to draft some specific SE targets. What you particularly want to see, what areas do you want to focus on, what do you think you might need to do in order to achieve your targets, are there particular staff in the school you might need to talk to?

Page 20: TDA Standards Web viewStudents are encouraged to actively engage with the sessions through discussion, participation and analysis. It is hoped the sessions will challenge student’s

teach your lesson, 5 to evaluate and then you will change roles. Ahead of this, you will need to plan your teaching in detail. You will use the standard University planner and evaluation grid, which will be available (in slightly adapted form) on the LN. Think about an introduction and main teaching, possibly with an interactive element. You will need to remain very focused.You will need to consider:

A sharp and focused learning objective (to know, be able to, understand) Clear success criteria Key questions Vocabulary Assessment opportunities, including A4L Any resources needed for your teaching Learning / teaching styles Timing

Your topic needs to be one which will be of interest to your peers and which you are confident your ‘pupil’ does not already know about. You need to include a mixture of didactic and interactive teaching. You will then evaluate, identifying personal areas of strength and areas which were less successful, setting yourself a target for hypothetical future planning / teaching. The session will end with group reflection / feedback on the processes undertaken. Examples of possible themes might be:

Gemstone jewellery The anatomy of horses The music of ***

Getting started with *** (A sport? A hobby?)

Be creative!

Week 5

Reflection and EvaluationWe would like you to evaluate the mini lesson that you have just taught. You need to evaluate 1) your pupils learning and 2) your own teaching. Use the ‘post lesson review’ (copies available from tutors) taken from Jacques K and Hyland R (Ed) [2007] Achieving QTS Professional Studies, Primary and

20

Page 21: TDA Standards Web viewStudents are encouraged to actively engage with the sessions through discussion, participation and analysis. It is hoped the sessions will challenge student’s

Early Years Exeter: Learning Matters to frame your evaluation.

PlanningUsing the QTS standards as your starting point and your previously drafted targets we would like you to take some time to finalise your specific SE targets. What you particularly want to see, what areas do you want to focus on, what do you think you might need to do in order to achieve your targets, are there particular staff in the school you might need to talk to?

ReflectionThink about the work that you have done in Professional Studies this semester. How will you use what you have learnt to develop your practice in school, what other areas of your professional practice do you think you still need to develop. Take some time to read over your notes from the past few weeks and highlight any areas that you feel you will need to return to at some point in the future, what will you do to develop yourself in this particular area?
