COURSE TITLE: Design & Technology Subject Study COURSE HOURS: 143 hours, Modules 1 and 2 USUAL DAY: (Wednesday), Thursday and Friday TIMES: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm COURSE TUTORS: Alison Godbold (Subject Co-ordinator), Helen Stapleton, John Pilkington (Tutors)

What will I learn? The two Design Technology modules are designed to produce reflective, analytical and effective classroom practitioners. They will build upon your prior experience and skills, to equip you with the knowledge and understanding of the specific subject knowledge and skills that will enable you to become an effective teacher of Design Technology who has developed their own position about the theoretical nature and practical delivery of secondary school Design Technology. The modules are designed to enable you to relate the Teachers’ Standards for the Award of Qualified Teacher Status to the teaching of Design Technology and consequently the structure of the modules is based on the understanding that theory informs practice and practice informs theory. You will:

reflect on the questions of Why teach Design Technology?

reflect on current debates about the purpose of Design Technology in a global environment in relation to various curriculum initiatives and issues

be able to develop stimulating and innovative teaching/learning methods

develop a range of appropriate and inclusive teaching methods and organisational practices which have been informed by theoretical and research based insights.

This M-Level course will address the Teachers’ Standards as set out in ‘Teachers’ Standards 2012’. The sharpest focus will be on Part One: Teaching, whilst Part Two will underpin everything you do and you will be expected to demonstrate consistently high standards of personal and professional conduct during your school placements. Learning Outcomes are set out in full in the module outlines to be found in your Programme Handbook.

Module Two Assignment 3 (4000 words) Plan, implement and evaluate a Scheme of Work (SOW) for one class of pupils in School B or take an existing SOW and amend it and adapt it to suit the learning needs of the pupils in one of the classes you will be teaching. Reference MUST be made to recently published works on the chosen theme (see point (e) below). The submitted assignment must include: (a) an introduction (guide length 750 words) which explains and appraises the

background to the choice of that SOW, its development and/or reasons for the changes to the SOW. Make sure that you include how you intend to assess each part of the SOW;

(b) the detailed SOW (to be placed into the appendix) (c) between three and five detailed exemplar lesson plans (to be placed into

the appendix) (d) an evaluation of the SOW in practice, (guide length 2,500 words) comprising

regular comment on the plan and its implementation. Its progress, how well it matches its stated aims and its relative successes and weaknesses, together with an account of the main strengths and weaknesses of the SOW. The critical analysis central to this task should lead to reflection on the potential for improved professional practice. In order that you may articulate the relationship between theory and practice, your evaluation must include use of and reference to appropriate literature which is related to one or more aspects of the SOW and which should include the following:

the Teachers’ Standards (2012). All assignments should identify the Standards that relate to the assignment and cite the Standards document as one reference.

Subject specific or other National Curriculum guidance from the document itself or from the QCA website, Inclusion websites and GCSE specifications

DfE references from the appropriate strategy/policy document. Show how the assignment’s subject area or theme supports, contributes to, or is in apparent opposition to, the National Strategy(ies) or government policy. Look on the Standards website.

Formative Assessment All formative assessment is designed to demonstrate your ability to achieve the required level of attainment in your two subject specific assignments and to complete Modules 1 and 2 of School Experience successfully. Formative assessment of Subject Study is summarised below, details can be found on the following pages.

Directed Tasks You will be required to complete a number of subject specific tasks during university based sessions and during school experience, as directed by your subject tutor, in order to address your specific needs. For Design Technology, these tasks are included in the course outline in this handbook.

Post 16 Experience and Research There follows a list of specific tasks which you will need to complete during your post-16 experience.

Subject Knowledge Audit Auditing your subject knowledge, and taking steps to enhance the breadth and depth of your knowledge effectively is a continuing process throughout the PGCE programme.

Tutorials These take place with your subject tutor to review your individual progress.

13

Post-16 Experience and Research Rationale: In order to be effective practitioners at 6th Form/Post-16 level (as with KS 3 & 4), DT teachers have to think reflectively about what they are doing and why they are doing it. Regardless of the Key Stages chosen for assessment, during the Programme, each student teacher should gain experience of planning, teaching and assessment at post-16 and complete the following subject-specific directed tasks via observation of DT teaching and discussion with teaching staff as well as an investigation into and critique of resources and approaches to DT at this level. By the end of the Programme, you should have become more familiar with and have reflected on recent developments in the teaching of ‘A’ and ‘A/S’ levels in DT and you should have learned and reflected on possible approaches that may be used when teaching an ‘A’ level class. Directed Tasks (You should present your findings in your Personal Development Profile): 1. Study the specimen papers of the syllabuses being taught in the DT

department. Look closely at the questions and associated marking schemes. Consider what teaching and learning strategies could be employed in order to effectively tackle such questions and discuss these (and other) approaches with staff in the department:

What do the students need to know?

What skills do they need to employ?

How could the answers to these two questions affect lesson planning and choice of teaching strategies?

2. ‘A’ level syllabuses are often selected by departments in the light of three considerations: personal preference, staff expertise and the resources available. Familiarise yourself with the range of syllabuses available. Send for (or download) a copy of the syllabuses of two different examination boards and discuss them with staff in the department. You may also send for the examiner’s report of each particular syllabus. After studying these, and discussing them with staff in the department, comment on the following:

Which publishers produce the appropriate course textbooks? Are they useful and in what way(s)? What are the issues relating to the use of text-books when teaching DT at AS- and A–level?

What assessment arrangements does the Board make?

Do the assessment arrangements require resources? What are they?

Would the content of the course appeal to both teacher and student?

What teaching strategies are necessary for the course?

What skills are demanded from the students and how will they need to be prepared for the examination?

Is the course objectives-led?

14

3. Investigate any vocational courses on offer to the students. Highlight the differences between them and A levels. Discuss the criteria for advising students on the suitability of DT subjects on offer with the staff.

Please note that most post 16 students go on study leave from May onwards, so ensure that you have gained the required post-16 experience prior to this time.

Subject Knowledge Audit You are required to identify two Design Technology subject areas from:

Systems and Control Technology

Resistant Materials Technology

Textiles Technology

Food Technology which you will develop to an appropriate level to teach to pupils up to the end of Key Stage 3. One of these two subject areas then needs to be developed further to a level that will enable you to teach at Key Stage 4 and Post 16. On the first subject study day, you will complete a Subject Knowledge Audit. This will be used by your Subject Co-ordinator to inform a Subject Needs Analysis, which will be discussed and agreed with you. You will subsequently build up your Subject Knowledge Profile, record your progress on your Audit, and this will be monitored by your subject mentor during School Placement A and reviewed periodically by subject mentors during School Placement B. You will be expected to be pro-active in addressing any identified gaps in your subject knowledge. The Subject Knowledge Audit for Design Technology is divided into subject areas and key stage requirements. It is based on the Minimum Competences set out in DATA’s research paper No 4 Thus, by the end of the programme you will be able to demonstrate that you are able to meet the subject knowledge requirements of the Teachers’ Standards (2012).

Tutorials Tutorials with your subject tutor will be arranged before the beginning of each School Experience to check your preparation for school experience and discuss your targets/subject needs and following the marking of your assignments to consider any areas for development identified by your tutor to help you improve your level of attainment in the following assignment. Your summary of teaching experience (following page) will help you and your subject tutor to ensure that you cover the required range of teaching during your school placement.

Planning lessons for Learning Objectives and Lesson Outcomes

Criteria to bear in mind when framing learning objectives:

Does the learning objective focus upon learning?

Does the learning objective help you to determine whether pupils have learned anything at the end of the lesson?

Do you have ways of checking that you have met your learning objectives, in other words that the student has learnt that which you intended?

Consideration should be given to the part that the lesson plays in the context of long term progression of learning, in terms of skills, concepts, knowledge and understanding that it addresses. Consideration should also be given to learning issues arising from the previous lesson. Some useful words and phrases that will give you the precision that you need in a learning objective: By the end of the lesson pupils will be able to ….

select … extract … give example of … relate … identify … choose … connect … link … make a link between … explain … illustrate … show the relationship between … explain the relationship between … comment upon … remember … recall … ask questions about … choose questions that … find … design … prioritise … extend … amplify … reorganise …

classify … sort … arrange … justify … justify their thinking concerning … explain their thinking concerning … compare … contrast … define … analyse … join up … organise … reconsider … reflect … support … support a view that … evaluate … create … construct … draw out … challenge … build … structure … represent …

Avoid words like discuss, complete, fill in, annotate, listen, finish or gather. These are descriptions of procedures, tasks or activities. They are not learning objectives. They are fine for your activities in your lesson plan – but not for your learning objectives. You might legitimately want pupils to ‘do the exercise’ or ‘fill in the table’ or ‘finish the graph’ or ‘do the experiment’ but these are not learning objectives. Avoid words like become aware of, experience, learn about, empathise with or understand. These are too vague for you to assess whether or not learning has taken place. Also, they don’t help you with defining what pupils are learning. They are perfectly valid aims and experiences, but your job is to specify the learning outcomes that will demonstrate some headway towards such aims and experiences.

Who will support me? Your Subject Co-ordinator, Alison Godbold, is also your Academic Adviser (see the main Programme Handbook). She will support your progress in your academic studies and your school experience and will meet you for tutorials at key points in the Programme, notably

after completion of the Subject Knowledge Questionnaire in September

at the start and end of both teaching blocks.

How will I learn? Alison will introduce and lead subject sessions, supported as appropriate by visiting speakers. These sessions will include discussions, collaborative planning and learning activities, differentiated and individualised practical tasks and presentations. Throughout both modules, there will be an emphasis on sharing experience, as well as an increased focus on self and peer critical analysis of practice, reflection and evaluation. You will be expected to take responsibility for your own learning and to demonstrate originality, determination and professionalism in tackling and solving problems. The collaborative and supportive nature of the sessions reflects the practice of and within school departments and will support your development towards Standard 8; Fulfil wider professional responsibilities. Your full participation in and commitment to the subject study sessions and the activities therein is both expected and valued. At different points in the course, each student will:

Prepare and present a starter activity

Lead on a focussed practical task

Prepare a teaching resource that is interactive, poses questions and aids subject knowledge and understanding

Participate in a micro-teaching exercise

Lead a plenary session at the end of a subject study day to highlight learning and identify implications of the day’s focus for inclusion, English as an Additional Language, Special Educational Needs, ICT, Citizenship, Literacy / Numeracy Across the Curriculum and Health and Safety

Teach an ICT application to a fellow student

Top Tips from previous student teachers

Get everyone’s emails and contacts for support.

Get your KS5 experience arranged early on; don’t leave it until the end as colleges finish earlier than schools.

Be pro-active; don’t wait for things to happen, do it yourself!

Organise your equipment and folders before starting your school placement – be organised!

Be aware that everyone makes mistakes and not all lessons will be perfect, but be prepared to learn from experience and the advice of others.

Start your assignments early and check the assessment criteria carefully.

Remember that you are a TEACHER… not a student anymore.

You may feel rubbish sometimes, but so does everyone else – use others to support you.

Don’t give up; it’s all worth it in the end!

Evaluation Details of the evaluation of the Secondary PGCE Programme can be found in the Programme Handbook. As part of this process, each subject study module is evaluated. You will be asked to complete a module evaluation form, an example of which follows. Your subject tutor will analyse the responses and identify areas for development, an example of which is included in this section. Each subject route is required to select a representative member of the Secondary PGCE Programme Board. The Programme Board meets three times a year and each student representative is offered the opportunity to raise issues on behalf of their subject group.
