Education 
Studies

The Education Studies (ES) component of the PGDE provides the foundation for teacher education. In ES modules, student teachers learn key concepts and principles necessary for effective teaching and reflective practice.

 

Based on my learning experiences, I have categorised the ES modules into three related areas of study: 

​

A. Understanding Learners

​

1. QED52A Educational Psychology: Theories and Applications for Learning and Teaching
    

2. QED52C Teacher-Student Relationship
    

3. QED52K Teaching and Managing Learners at the Secondary / Junior College Level
    

B. Effectively Engaging Learners
 

1. QED52B Pedagogical Practices
    

2. QED52G Technologies for Meaningful Learning
    

C. Learners' Social Contexts
 

1. QED52E Singapore Kaleidoscope
    

2. QED52P Group Endeavours in Service Learning
    

3. QED52Q Effective Parent Engagement
    

4. QED52U Character and Citizenship Education in the Singapore Context 
    

In the posts that follow, I outline the connections and key concepts learned in each of these modules.
