M.Ed. Reflective Practice and Practicum

In this course students will study how the development of teaching is closely associated with both metacognitive self-evaluation and critical reflection on the literature of teaching/learning (both generally and in their respective subject/s). Reflective practice is a process of continual experiential learning (Schön, D. 1983. The Reflective Practitioner. Basic Books). In this course students will learn to engage in critical self-evaluation while responding appropriately to peer/student evaluations and taking into consideration practical theory.

Pre-requisites for this course are the two core courses:

• Curriculum Theory and Development (3 credits)
• Instructional Methods (3 credits)
