This book explores undergraduate education programmes in a new way. Written by those at the leading edge of teaching and learning, it encourages students to delve beneath the surface of their degree subject and reveals important insights about the how, why and where next for education studies.
With contributions from course leaders, tutors, current students and contemporary graduates, this book offers insights from nearly 60 authors based in 20 different institutions from five different countries. The chapters offer opportunities for readers to imagine their own learning experiences in a much broader context, beef up their understanding of the degree course and actively shape the education studies community of the future.
Each chapter is written in an accessible way, with ‘questions to imagine’ all through and ‘advisable readings’ at the end to advance readers’ thinking and reflections. Chapters cover topics such as:
- Education Studies’ development as a degree subject
- Its evolving identity, values and purposes
- Teaching and assessment approaches in undergraduate education programmes
- How the subject develops students’ professional aptitudes and transferable skills
- Possibilities for advancing inclusion, equity and justice in education at degree level
These ‘in the back of the scenes’ factors are brought to the fore through case studies and examples of how lecturers and students make sense of their teaching and learning. With its unique approach to examining these issues, this book is very important for students of Education Studies at undergraduate level at the same time as also being relevant for staff and postgraduate students in education.
