PG CERT LEARNING AND TEACHING IN THE CREATIVE DISCIPLINES
Programme Overview
The Postgraduate Certificate Learning and Teaching in the Creative Disciplines is designed to support those currently teaching or supporting learning in higher education.
The programme explores and addresses the professional practices of teaching and supporting learners, including principles of inclusive learning design and teaching; assessment and feedback; student support; evaluation and scholarship. Students on the programme will critically consider research and scholarship in inclusive learning, teaching and assessment within an art school context, critically reflecting and integrating core knowledge into their practice as they develop as critically reflective practitioners.
Centred within a studio-based educational context the programme critically considers the role of creativity in learning and teaching, exploring inclusive teaching and learning strategies and environments, including the role of technology and blended learning tools, to support effective learning. The programme further explores concepts of inclusive curriculum supporting students to design and facilitate effective and inclusive programmes of study. The programme culminates with a capstone investigation into students’ own teaching practice, supporting students to design and implement a systematic scholarly enquiry to enhance learning and teaching within their context.
The programme is delivered fully online, modelling the online environments which students may choose to design for their own learners.
