As some of you will know, I have decided to start an MEd, distance learning, part time whilst doing my NQT year. It involves the first year (PGCE), the second year of modules, assessed through a portfolio of essays (including learner interviews, observations of pupils, literature reviews, learning theory review, a poster and a longer research study). The final year is made up of a dissertation, on a subject of our choice.
The idea behind the course is that we can get 4/6 parts done for the second year this summer, leaving less strain during the term time, when we are likely to be manically busy. SO, at the moment, in addition to trying to tidy the hosue (and make up for the lack of tidying I did last year) and sort stuff to take to school with me, I am trying to figure out how / what to write for the following task:
Write a literature review of two or three current theories of learning, and their implications for teaching.
Choose two or three theories of learning, describe their essential principles and compare and contrast them with each other. A 'theory of learning' can be as broad as social constructivist theory or as narrow as the theory of scaffolding. Consider how these theories of learning relate to your current professional experience and whether, on reflection, there are implications for your professional practice.
Exciting, huh?!
