Engaging Pedagogies for English and Maths (X6620)

15 credits, Level 4

Spring teaching

On this module, you'll explore theories and approaches to teaching and learning english and maths. You'll examine the underlying principles, ensuring all children can access learning and thrive during their primary education and beyond.

You'll learn different strategies for teaching, learning and assessment, reflecting on your own understanding and attitudes towards both subjects. The module also encourages you to consider children’s attitudes, questioning how they're shaped by factors like educational policy, family influences and media, and how they can be transformed.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 47 hours of contact time and about 103 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
