The primary learning intention of this module is for students to co-teach a science project with a local school. This will require
- An understanding and application of the scientific process within an education context.
- Evaluation of pertinent ideas and literature on teaching science.
- An introduction to co-teaching. This involves co-planning, co-delivery, and co-evaluation of content and pedagogy with your student team and cooperating teacher.
- Reflecting on ‘you as a science learner’ and co-teacher.

In-Module Resit | Prior to relevant Programme Exam Board |
• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Peer review activities
• Self-assessment activities
Given the practical, project-based, nature of this module, feedback will be offered over the entire trimester. An in-the-moment approach will be employed such that students can put in to practice advice given. In-class activities will be driven by the students' project work, with the lecturer providing input and feedback. Students will be working in groups and, as such, they will be expected to peer-review their work and performance. Students may also receive feedback from their cooperating teacher.
