Course overview
You should show relevant knowledge from your current and past practice (for example, social care, teaching assistants, hospital education) through the process of reflection and evaluation. The concept of 'the reflective practitioner' is an important module theme.
You demonstrate your understanding across the key areas of childhood studies important to your professional needs through the development of a focused independent negotiated project.
This acts as a bridging module to the BA (Hons) Childhood Studies (Top-up) (Online) course.
