E284 Science and the Primary Curriculum - Use of Video for External Teaching Practice Difficulties in getting external students involved in the critical review of teaching practice by themselves and others is addressed through the use of videos of case studies of primary science practice.
External students have an assignment to critical analyse the lessons delivered in the videos.
In addition, external students are offered the opportunity to submit videos of their own practice to be critically analysed by the unit lecturers. This is a valuable option for students on practice where a science specialist teacher is not available. Interactive Multimedia Modules in Science A series of up to 30 interactive multimedia modules are used by a range of units in biology, environmental science and mineral science to allow students to progressively test their assumptions and further their understanding of a range of scientific concepts. The modular structure allows the sequence of the material to be determined either by the lecturer or the student. Students' progress and their feedback on the usefulness of the modules are recorded electronically as the student works through the material.
