Social, Emotional and Behavioural Development (PHDE0025)

The underlying aim of this module is to develop a better understanding of how to educate children and young people who have problems with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. We come to this with a particular focus on the role of language and communication. Language and communication are key factors underpinning both typical and atypical development. The first building block of the module is to look at typical development, both on the social and emotional side and on the language side. The second element is to consider research on atypical development in the social, emotional and behavioural domains and in language and communication. The final ingredient in the module is trying to bring all these elements to a workable conclusion for individual/school practice, the application of the more abstract research and theory. Here we rely heavily on the student. The student provides the opportunity to discuss how ideas might work on the ground and apply to real life individual children in challenging circumstances and varying contexts.

International Perspectives on Adult Learning (IOEF0027)

The aim of this module is to develop students’ understanding on international perspectives of adult learning through the lifecourse (including learning in later life, lifelong learning, learning at work, learning informally), with an overview of the development of the concept of adult learning theoretically and comparatively.  Through addressing these topics in an international perspective the module will identify existing and evolving patterns of adult learning, across different countries and regions. The module content will draw on both western and non-western contexts, specifically highlighting some contemporary topical themes such as ageing society, social inclusion, informal learning, learning at work, as well as the role and influence of international organisations. The focus of the module will be on how adults learn through the lifecourse, and what distinctive features of adult learning could be identified cross-nationally. It will be theory- and research-informed, and will have a comparative focus. By considering the topic of adult learning internationally, this optional module would contribute to enhancing student learning outcomes, specifically through enriching their international outlook and facilitating their research interests and knowledge in the area of adult and lifelong learning.
