This is a cornerstone subject in which first year education students develop core knowledge required to learn successfully throughout the course.

Students develop foundational understandings about theories associated with learning and teaching. The subject is structured around a compulsory professional experience enabling students to make links between theory and practice. ICT skills are embedded within the subject and utilised in assessment tasks.
