Leicester University

 

Primary PGCE Course

The primary course here is related to developing students’ understanding and use of ICT to enhance teaching and learning across the whole primary curriculum area.

This is done with specific teaching sessions during the year in the Connecting the Curriculum course and in Science and Literacy session making appropriate connections between the ICT and the taught subject modules.

Science Learning Centre

Led by Doug Dickinson each day will cover how science can be enhanced by ICT and be illustrated by an exciting range of activities including:

• Using interactive whiteboards & whole class pedagogy
• Datahandling linked to SATs requirements
• Using internet resources creatively in science
• Datalogging
• Effectively using ELCs

Opportunities to explore new equipment such as digital cameras & electronic microscopes:

This innovative series of courses is dedicated to the role that ICT can play in the teaching and learning of science at Key Stages 1 and 2.

Delegates can opt to participate in all three courses or concentrate on one specific area according to their needs (those participating in all three courses may also have the option of University accreditation)

In addition, all delegates will receive the necessary support throughout each day to prepare and take away relevant material which will be of immediate use when teaching science topics back in school.

 

‘One of the best science courses (or any curriculum courses) I have been on. Thank you.’
