Course summary
Technology and Design is offered for subject study in the BEd Post-Primary course. It is a broadly based course covering all of the disciplines taught as part of the subject in schools. These include manufacturing skills, graphics and design, product design, electronic, mechanical and pneumatic systems, CAD and CNC machining. The modules integrate theoretical understanding with practical activity and students are required to bring together the various elements of the course in the designing and making of real products. Technology and Design students are required to take Computing and ICT, or Science, as their subsidiary subject in years one and two.
Course Content
This is a four-year honours degree programme leading to registration with the GTCNI and full recognition to teach by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland. In the first three years of the programme, students take courses in the following five strands: Education Studies, Curriculum Studies, Key Skills (Literacy, Numeracy, UICT), Professional Development and School Experience, Subject Study and Subject Application. In the final year of the programme, Subject Study and Subject Application are replaced with the Capstone Module. This is an integrative and culminating module which allows the students to demonstrate the high-level skills and knowledge required to earn the BEd Honours qualification.
Teaching & Learning
We aim to provide a high quality learning environment that embeds intellectual curiosity, innovation and best practice in learning, teaching and student support to enable students to achieve their full academic potential. We do this by providing a range of learning experiences which enable our students to engage with subject and professional experts.
Assessment
The way in which you are assessed will vary according to the Learning Objectives of each module. Some modules are assessed solely through project work or written assignments. Some are assessed through a combination of coursework and end of semester examinations, while assessment of others may include a presentation or submission of a portfolio. School-based work is assessed through observation by College tutors with an input from school staff. Details of how each module is assessed are shown in course handbooks which are provided to all students at the start of the year.
