student support and guidance learning needs and the construction of learning environments that best support them. effective learning environment as part of the supporting documentation, particularly in their practice observations. 5. Engage in continuing professional development in subjects/disciplines and their pedagogy, incorporating research, scholarship and the evaluation of professional practices Participants will be introduced to pedagogic theory within sessions. The VLE will provide relevant links to debates on the research/ teaching nexus. The use of a Subject Adviser to conduct the practice observations will emphasise the need to retain currency and accuracy in the delivery of subject material. Throughout the course participants will be encouraged to reflect and critique their developing practice. Tasks will create opportunities for them to generate feedback on their practice and thinking from a range of sources. Tutors will guide participants regarding the benefits of and opportunities for further CPD. Participants will be expected to demonstrate how they integrate their research and/or their professional practice with teaching and supporting learning in all Assignments. Assignments have been designed to support participants’ awareness of current HE priorities and how best they can develop to meet them. Core knowledge (Knowledge and understanding of): Learning Outcome Coverage Assessment 1. The subject material LO1 LO2 LO3 LO4 The use of a Subject Adviser to conduct the practice observations will emphasise the need to retain currency and accuracy in the delivery of subject material. This will be evidenced in Assignments 1 and 2, and through the authentication of practice tasks. 2. Appropriate methods for teaching and learning in the subject area and at the level of the academic programme LO1 LO2 LO3 LO4 The use of a Subject Adviser to discuss and demonstrate subject specific approaches will complement the more generic coverage in session. This will be evidenced in Assignments 1 and 2, and through the authentication of practice tasks.
