Teaching and assessment
Teaching consists of lectures, seminars, individual tutorials
and workshops. Much of the work you will be required to do is
coursework, either in the form of essays or, on some modules,
collaborative portfolios. In the second and third years there is a
strong emphasis on individual research projects, assisted by tutor
support. You will be given plenty of opportunities for formative
assessment, and support for essay writing is embedded in the first
year. The teaching team has a strong research record in topics
such as education, social justice and education, culture and
social policy, childhood, teacher professionalism, pedagogy,
professional development and higher education, international and
comparative education.
Skills and careers
Although the course does not lead directly to a teaching
qualification, it will provide you with the knowledge and skills
appropriate to a range of professional careers and occupations,
including public sector management, educational research, work
in communications and the media, industrial and business training
and teaching. Keele University has a long established reputation
in Initial Teacher Education and the BA Education has close links
with primary and secondary school centred Initial Teacher Training
(SCITT) partners.
