Description
The module aims to engage students in deep, critical thought about curriculum development practice therefore, with a view to improving the quality of the geography curriculum experience for young people. The module provides students with a theoretical understanding of curriculum development in geographical education, the study of research methods within the field of geography education and will require students to integrate this theoretical knowledge and understanding with their own experiences and practices in schools and education. Thus, it is a practitioner-focused and research-focused module, which requires participants to share their experiences and understanding with each other, as well as reflecting on theoretical ideas.
This is the only module in the MA in Education (Geography) which takes a specific emphasis on curriculum leadership. Reflecting a move within schools to see teachers as curriculum leaders, the module asks students to critically engage with the idea of subject leadership, and to question what this means in relation to how curriculum is written, read and enacted.
This is a compulsory module for MA Education (Geography) students and must be taken during your programme of study. It is also available as an Option module to other students. This module runs online only.
