Education should allow equal participation of people from all identity groups. Recent legislation in Wales and social justice campaigns have raised particular awareness of under representation and discrimination against students for reasons of race, gender or sexuality. For some children and young people, the intersectionality of all three identity markers (race, gender and sexuality) causes even greater alienation from education. This module aims to examine the socio-historic context of Wales in terms of race, gender and sexuality. In particular, it looks at how these can be challenged in the future design of educational materials through more selective use of texts and role models. This module will also encourage students to think about their own identities, positions and responsibilities in relation in their use of language and interactions with others. It will also provide some practical tools for increasing reprentation of different identity groups in all aspects of education.
This dissertation module will enable students to pursue an empirical study on a topic of their choice relating to education across contexts according to their academic interest or future career aspirations. It will require students to formulate an appropriate research question and to design and execute a research project that will address their chosen question in a coherent and systematic manner. Students will have the flexibility to pursue a research topic related to education that might be relevant to their career aspirations across the full range of contexts where knowledge and expertise in education is applicable.

This module develops student teachers as Research-informed reflective practitioners through a range of learning experiences designed to enhance the critical awareness that new entrants to the teaching profession will need to refine their teaching, influence their pupils and ensure they advance in their learning (Welsh Government circular 001/2018). Learning to teach involves drawing upon several different sources of professional knowledge; intellectually based knowledge (learning `about¿ teaching) knowledge gained through `indirect¿ practice, the knowledge of expert practitioners, integrated knowledge (learning `through¿ teaching) and personal knowledge (Furlong 2015; EWC 2023). Student teachers will develop an understanding of, and ability to employ, effective strategies for teaching and learning in their subject area and Area of Learning Experience (AoLE). Taught sessions will focus on the application of subject knowledge to support an understanding of pedagogy and curriculum design to promote the four purposes of Education as outlined in the new curriculum (Donaldson, 2015). Student teachers will address issues relevant to the wider context of the Welsh Government policy on the curriculum and the National Frameworks for Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Competence. The module will ensure that students gain an understanding of current legislation, including an understanding of the anti-racist Wales action plan, the Additional Learning Needs Code and an understanding of the Curriculum Cymreig and Welsh language requirements. They will also develop and consolidate teaching strategies to ensure they are appropriate to their subject area/AoLE with a strong focus on lesson and unit planning, taking into account those issues which impact on planning for effective teaching and learning in their subject. Student teachers will develop an awareness and understanding of research skills and research literacy that will help them throughout their professional career and continuously develop their approaches to learning and teaching to maximise the impact on learner outcomes. Student teachers will examine research literature and explore their own practice through the implementation of a close to practice research project to systematically develop their professional practice and respond creatively to the needs of all pupils. In doing so they will develop their reflective skills which will ensure that they are engaged with up-to-date evidence and the skills of research inquiry.
