PGCE听听(Art & Design)听

The Faculty of Education 东京热 is committed to knowledge making for 21st century education. To this end, the Faculty offers two听Postgraduate听Certificate听in听Education听(PGCE) programmes as of 2021. Both focus on secondary school teaching – one on the Further Education and Training Teaching phase and the other on Senior Phase Teaching. School-based Work Integrated Learning (WIL), including supervised and assessed teaching practice, is an important part of the Postgraduate Certificate in Education programme. Students are expected to spend up to ten weeks of WIL in schools in which one period consists of seven consecutive weeks. 听Through integrating coursework at the university and practicum at schools the Faculty creates learning opportunities for student-teachers to acquire:

• A thorough understanding of learning and development in adolescence
• Sound subject knowledge with an understanding of contextual factors that impact learning and schooling
• An appreciation of the demands of the teaching profession and a repertoire of teaching strategies and skills
• A reflective stance towards teaching.

Purpose:听

The Postgraduate Certificate in Education is a professional teaching programme that `caps’ an undergraduate degree or an approved diploma. It offers entry-level initial professional preparation for qualifying undergraduate degree or diploma holders who wish to develop focused knowledge and skills as classroom teachers in a chosen phase(s) and/or subject(s). The qualification requires a specific depth and specialisation of knowledge, together with practical skills and workplace experience, to enable successful students to apply their learning as beginner teachers in schools in varying contexts.

Envisaged听outcomes:

Students who complete this programme will be able to:

• Teach at least two school subjects in chosen phase(s) as per their qualification. Support and nurture learning and development in diverse educational contexts. Identify and address barriers to learning in the classroom.
• Formulate a personal teaching philosophy and critically reflect on how it relates to a teacher’s professional role.

To achieve the outcomes the programme integrates the knowledge mix of disciplinary, pedagogical, practical, and situational learning through the following in the programme:

• Education and Teaching Studies (mainly disciplinary, pedagogical and situational learning): Includes a focus on the adolescent as learner, the teaching profession, education policies, communication, teaching as the practice of citizenship, classroom management and information and communication technologies for the teaching profession.
• Teaching methodology and practicum (mainly pedagogical and practical learning with elements of situational learning): Teaching methodology and practicum are integrated. This implies that students will engage in learning听from听practice, learning听in听practice and learning听from听service, aiming at developing specialised pedagogical content knowledge and teaching competence in the chosen subject.
• Even though the knowledge areas as indicated above are specified, the curriculum is organised to enable coherence and cohesiveness and an integration of theory and practice.

Duration听of听the听programme听and听offering:听1 Year (full time) or 2 years (part time)
