Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.
This introduction to psychology of education will include the standard content of this well-established sub-discipline. There will be consideration of the role of cognitive neuroscience, behaviourism and cognitive developmental perspectives and other less mainstream. “Intelligence” will be examined in relation to the nature and effects of individual differences in education. The concept of “motivation” will be explored. Schooling will be assessed in terms of its putative, psychological effects on students and society.

Further details relating to assessment
Formative Assessments at all Levels which involve students tackling parts of an assessment task or related task and benefitting from peer and tutor review or participants. In this way, the early assessment provides students with the opportunity to identify areas of strength and weakness and develop their understanding of how to complete successfully the summative assessment. E.G. In seminars/workshops, student groups provide structured input/ feedback on each other’s work, set in the context of tutor and peer input. Students can then use this feedback and the critiques to inform their submission of final assessment
The Report will make reference to theoretical psychological perspectives underpinning Education. Further information will be included in the Module Handbook.
