This module offers you the opportunity to observe learning and teaching in an educational setting. You will be required to undertake a placement in an educational setting for at least the equivalent of 15 days (e.g. 30 x 3hrs). You will begin by considering your expectations about what you are about to observe and then make detailed recordings (as a journal) of what you see. Following this, you will analyse your recordings and then present your findings to your peers, followed by the production of a written report. The module content will include ethical issues relating to research and enquiry, participant and non-participant observation, writing a learning journal, reflective writing, theories of learning, models of teaching and schooling and education.
