Primary Mathematics Teaching: Mathematics and Pedagogy (LCLL0097)

This module enables you to explore a range of issues relevant to primary mathematics. We will focus on areas such as the development of early number skills, additive reasoning and geometric reasoning, in order to identify key issues in aspects of subject knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge.

As well as looking at these issues from an academic perspective, we will engage in a wide range of mathematical activites in order to better understand some of the challenges experienced by children in the clasroom. This module is for anyone that has an interest in the learning of mathematics in children up to 11 years of age.

International Legal Framework for Humanitarian Action (IRDR0034)

Humanitarian action takes place in a variety of settings, including war, occupation, natural disasters, famine, and mass influx of refugees. International law provides guidance on how to address such situations and serves as a powerful tool for humanitarian work. This module explores the international legal framework within which humanitarian action operates. The framework comprises different branches of international law, including international humanitarian law, human rights law, refugee law, environmental law, criminal law, and (emerging) international disaster response law. This module will provide an introduction to these branches of international law to the extent they are relevant to humanitarian action. The module will examine a broad variety of issues, such as access to humanitarian assistance, forced migration, climate change, and protection of persons in the event of disasters and armed conflict. By the end of this module, you will learn about key documents, cases, and actors that define contemporary international law relating to humanitarian action.
