This Micro-Credential has been developed to give Masters level students the opportunity to investigate the three core elements any teacher must work on throughout their teaching career: teaching, learning and assessment. The ability to question current practices and their effectiveness is central to practitioners maintaining an updated and constantly evolving level of professionalism.
Students will explore how pupils learn, models such as Bruner’s Spiral Curriculum and Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development and other influential theories of learning and their applicability in constructing learning. The Micro-Credential will bring current debates and research on 21st Century teaching, learning and assessment as well as personal experiences as practitioners to support decisions that need to be made in future-facing education institutions.
