Ar ôl dilyn gyrfa arobryn fel newyddiadurwr a golygydd cylchgrawn, cafodd Emma Spacey ei hysbrydoli i ddod yn athrawes ysgol uwchradd wrth weithio gyda rhaglenni allgymorth i ysgolion megis rhaglen Ymestyn yn Ehangach Prifysgol Abertawe. Addysgodd Emma mewn nifer o ysgolion uwchradd yn ardal Abertawe a gweithiod yn helaeth ar raglenni STEM cyn ymuno â’r Ysgol Addysg fel Darlithydd (Cemeg) AGA. Mae hefyd yn arholwr profiadol ar gyfer byrddau arholi AQA a CBAC.
This module develops an understanding of how to design and build curriculum. Taught sessions will focus on identifying the factors that create an effective learning environment for pupils in schools and will address issues relevant to the primary and secondary phases. Particular attention will be given to the application of assessment for learning across the age phases.
Education should allow equal participation of people from all identity groups. Recent legislation in Wales and social justice campaigns have raised particular awareness of under representation and discrimination against students for reasons of race, gender or sexuality. For some children and young people, the intersectionality of all three identity markers (race, gender and sexuality) causes even greater alienation from education. This module aims to examine the socio-historic context of Wales in terms of race, gender and sexuality. In particular, it looks at how these can be challenged in the future design of educational materials through more selective use of texts and role models. This module will also encourage students to think about their own identities, positions and responsibilities in relation in their use of language and interactions with others. It will also provide some practical tools for increasing reprentation of different identity groups in all aspects of education.
This dissertation module will enable students to pursue an empirical study on a topic of their choice relating to education across contexts according to their academic interest or future career aspirations. It will require students to formulate an appropriate research question and to design and execute a research project that will address their chosen question in a coherent and systematic manner. Students will have the flexibility to pursue a research topic related to education that might be relevant to their career aspirations across the full range of contexts where knowledge and expertise in education is applicable.
This module is designed to enable student teachers to work towards the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership at QTS level by developing the appropriate subject knowledge, skills and attitudes identified in statutory requirements and non-statutory guidance. It will enable students to develop full understanding of the complexities of the role of the teacher as a professional from a regional, national and international perspective. They will understand the role of assessment in teaching and learning. It will explore key aspects of professional practice and develop the practical and reflective skills necessary to meet the needs of all pupils regardless of their cultural, linguistic, religious or socio-economic background and whether or not they have additional learning or other special needs thus ensuring equity of experience for all pupils. The students will learn about the Welsh Government's newly developed ALN Transformation Programme, which aims to transform expectations, experiences and outcomes for children and young people with additional learning needs. This module, EDPM02, incorporates Practice and Theory (PAT) and Research days. The PAT days combine pedagogic theory and practice, whilst the research days provide student teachers with the research literacy required to select, assess and apply research knowledge within their teaching. The school-based but jointly delivered PAT and research days will enable student teachers to link the research to issues to the reality of curriculum design and classroom practice. DECS staff will lead on the theory and school staff will lead on the discussion and observation of the practical application of the theory. Within PAT, student teachers will develop an understanding of the complex influences of personal, social and cultural factors on teachers and learners. The students will gain an understanding of the importance of school students' rights, including their right to a voice in matters that relate to their lives . The PAT days will be jointly planned by the ITE Leads in partnership schools, the ITE programme director and ITE subject tutors. The programme structure and materials will be delivered in all Lead partnership schools and to all student teachers within their network, thus ensuring consistency of content and experience across subject routes and school settings.
This module develops student teachers as Research-informed reflective practitioners through a range of learning experiences designed to enhance the critical awareness that new entrants to the teaching profession will need to refine their teaching, influence their pupils and ensure they advance in their learning (Welsh Government circular, 001/2018). Student teachers will develop an understanding of, and ability to employ, effective strategies for teaching and learning in their subject area and Area of Learning Experience (AoLE). Taught sessions will focus on the application of subject knowledge to support an understanding of pedagogy and curriculum design to promote the four purposes of Education as outlined in the new curriculum (Donaldson, 2015). Student teachers will address issues relevant to the wider context of the Welsh Government policy on the curriculum and the National Frameworks for Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Competence. The programme will ensure that students gain an understanding of current legislation, including an understanding of the Curriculum Cymreig and Welsh language requirements. They will also develop and consolidate teaching strategies to ensure they are appropriate to their subject area/AloE with a strong focus on lesson and unit planning, taking into account those issues which impact on planning for effective teaching and learning in their subject. Student teachers will develop an awareness and understanding of research skills and research literacy that will help them throughout their professional career and continuously develop their approaches to learning and teaching in order to maximise the impact on learner outcomes. Student teachers will examine research literature and explore their own practice through the implementation of a close to practice research project to systematically develop their professional practice and respond creatively to the needs of all pupils. In doing so they will develop their reflective skills which will ensure that they are engaged with up to date evidence and the skills of research inquiry.

2 hour weekly Study Group for Education students (Year 1)
This module is for students with an interest in teaching, science communication, and medicine. Students will complete an enquiry-based research project, based within the field of pedagogy or science communication, with guidance from an academic supervisor. Projects may be completed in collaboration with local schools/colleges, community groups, science outreach programmes (e.g. Oriel Science), in clinical/patient settings, or within Higher Education. Students will engage with workshops and digital resources to introduce various themes surrounding pedagogy and science communication to prepare them for their research project. Students will be required to critically analyse their research findings and produce a teaching or outreach activity/resource. Students will refine their oral and written communication skills to graduate level through an oral presentation and dissertation.
