Trefnydd: Dr Mike Beverley

This module will focus on evidence-based approaches to education.

Following a general introduction to the methods of effective education, students will be introduced to how these instructional methods are used to teach children, and how they can be implemented within our current educational system.

In practical sessions, students will learn how to analyse curriculum problems and design and monitor an educational plan supported by evidenced based approaches.

Seminars will also be used to explore some core principles of these instructional methods in more depth.

Students will gain an insight into these important topics.

Specific topics covered will include the principles of effective instruction; the desired outcomes of learning; how to implement Precision Teaching and Direct Instruction (specifically as applied to teaching reading [beginning and remedial]) within educational settings; the vital role that research plays in effective education; and the barriers that exist to the implementation of effective evidence-based approaches within our educational system. Students will also be introduced to the different levels of measurement (Macro, Meta, & Micro), and how they can be used to support an effective Response to Intervention (RtI) model.

Threshold D- to D+

Knowledge of key principles only. Many errors and weaknesses in terms of presentation and accuracy.

Little use of evidence to support the points made in examination answers.

Poor oral presentation skills, demonstrating a little knowledge of the main elements of the subject area.

Arguments were presented in written assignments, but they did not flow, and there was no evidence of original interpretation nor critical thinking. Very little use of evidence to support the points made, and little evidence of additional reading.

Relatively interesting and relevant research questions were presented, but lacked a firm understanding of evidence-based methods of education. No evaluation of the theoretical and practical applications of the field.
