3 FACULTY OF EDUCATION A BRIEF OVERVIEW The academic work of the College is divided into two faculties: the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Arts, both of which contribute to the BEd Programme. The Faculty of Education at Mary Immaculate College is proud of its tradition of teacher education and of the high standards achieved by graduates since its establishment in The Faculty is one of the largest education faculties in Ireland, with a staff of more than 65 full-time academic staff and a further 50 associate members. The Faculty is strongly student-centred and is committed to excellence in its teaching and research. The Faculty offers programmes at certificate, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Our flagship undergraduate honours programmes include the following: BEd, which is a full-time four-year programme and is the professional qualification required for teachers in primary schools. BEd in Education and Psychology, this four-year full-time programme prepares graduates to be recognised primary school teachers while also holding a degree in Psychology, which is recognised by the Psychological Society of Ireland. BA in Early Childhood Care and Education, which focuses on the development of educarers, professional leaders in the provision of care and education for children from birth to six years in a variety of educational settings. The Faculty also offers a number of postgraduate programmes. The academic year 2014/15 heralds the introduction of the Professional Master of Education (Primary Teaching) which is a new two-year teaching qualification for graduates who already possess a Level 8 degree and who wish to pursue primary school teaching. In addition, a suite of postgraduate and masters programmes is available. The Faculty also provides a range of postgraduate research options and the numbers of students engaging in masters and doctoral studies by research and thesis within the Faculty continue to grow. The research work of the Centre for Research in Education and Teacher Education (CREaTE), Centre for Early-Childhood Research at Mary Immaculate College (Ceramic), the Curriculum Development Unit and the Centre for Transforming Education through Dialogue reflect the commitment of Faculty to researching aspects of curricular interest, but also issues of equity and justice within education on local, national and international levels. Faculty members cover a wide range of expertise and professional interests. Many are qualified primary teachers and bring to their students a wealth of professional knowledge and experience. An internationally recognised standard of excellence has been achieved in the areas of professional development, curriculum design and educational research. The Faculty of Education has close links with many of the primary schools in Limerick city and the wider mid-west region. These connections facilitate an on-going professional relationship between the Faculty and the schools. The Faculty is greatly facilitated by the schools and teachers who make their classes available to student teachers for school placements, a crucial aspect of Mary Immaculate College s BEd programme.

16 Sociology of Education Module : EG Semester C 2015 Postgraduate Diploma in Education (primary teaching) The sociology of education course addresses topics and debates centred on the culture of teaching and teachers lives. It will particularly focus on diversity within the teaching profession. The course will build upon topics previously addressed in Foundations studies 1 and 2. This course will provide student teachers with opportunities for critical engagement with a range of issues upon which they can build throughout their professional career and ensure they are competent and informed to meet the challenges when teaching in an increasingly diverse primary school. It is only in the last few decades that the experiences and culture of teachers have been explored in any great depth. Indeed, we rarely reflect upon equality and diversity issues for teachers or that teachers are not a homogenous group. We will focus on teachers as individuals using skills and creating identities, actors and negotiators in the classroom and school, as colleagues and as members of a profession. In particular, we will examine various aspects of teachers lives and applying equality considerations to them. Applying a range of equality perspectives to teachers are useful way in which to examine, understand, evaluate and empathise with those teachers who face inequality in their role as a teacher. We will focus on such issues as: equality between teachers and power considerations; Identity and diversity within the teaching profession, focusing specifically on religious belief, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality. In addressing the questions, students will critically assess a range of contemporary debates from equality and social justice perspectives. Students will develop an understanding of how relationships in education are influenced and in many cases constrained by one s identity. These will be examined from the perspective of the teacher. In particular we will examine the taken for granted assumptions that we make about teachers. Students are introduced to concepts such as bullying, patriarchy, cultural imperialism, white privilege, racism, homophobia, heterosexism and the various ways they apply to the teaching profession. The sociology lectures will facilitate students understanding of the broad role of education within society. Most importantly, it will examine their role as future teachers in facilitating, enabling and nurturing equitable and respectful relationships within education and specifically within the teaching profession. LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course students are expected to: 1 Cognitive: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation Reflect critically on issues of equality and diversity within the teaching profession Reflect critically and evaluate the embedded nature of inequality in the various relationships within education from a sociological perspective Reflect critically, assess and evaluate the way a teachers ability to form and sustain positive relationships within education is affected by power, solidarity, access to resources and recognition of difference 2 Affective: Attitude and Values Appreciate, value and promote equality and empathise with those within the teaching profession who experience inequality Appreciate and value diversity and difference within the teaching profession Appreciate and value the role of the teacher in establishing, nurturing and maintaining positive relationships within education

19 Philosophy of Education Module : EG Semester C 2015 Postgraduate Diploma in Education (primary teaching) REFLECTING, RESPONSIBILITY, QUESTIONING COURSE FORMAT: One LECTURE each week. Guiding Questions 1. What is teacher Identity? 2. Why do we educate? 3. Is education a practice of freedom? 1.REFLECTING AND RESPONSIBILITY : The first section of the course will allow us to reflect upon our experiences of teaching, in particular teaching practice, and to deepen our understanding of teacher identity and the relationship between teacher and students. We will broaden the discussion by reflecting upon other ways of thinking about the teacher-student relationship and schooling and education. Some of the themes we touch upon in this first section will be further examined later in the course: freedom, authority, knowledge, ignorance, assessment and so forth. The primary focus of this section will be on reflecting about the lived practice of education and ways in which different identities and images of the teacher affect practice. We examine some of the more difficult questions in educational practice by looking at Britzman s text which outlines some of the difficulties of being a student teacher on teaching practice. We will look at two aspects of teacher identity and the practice of teaching through the writings of Judith Butler and Chandra Mohanty. The focus here is on the question of gender, race and norms. We continue our concern with ethical and political questions in educational practice in this next section. In Week 4, we reflect upon purposes of education, the role of the teacher and the relationship between education and responsibility through the writings of Hannah Arendt. 2. QUESTIONING This second section of the course examines a variety of perspectives on the practice and politics of education that may challenge some of the practices, ideals and values in the Primary School Curriculum. It focuses on the writing of Paulo Freire who has had a significant impact on educational practice. Paolo Freire responds to the authoritarian or banking model of education. He is not simply arguing that this methodology is bad pedagogy. Rather it serves a function in society of creating docile and obedient citizens who will not challenge the status quo, so in that respect it is effective. We will examine Freire s analyses of these different kinds of pedagogy, not simply at the level of the classroom but at the level of society. We will explore the values that he thinks should underpin the pedagogical relationship and explore his problem posing approach to education. We will also ask whether or not democratic classrooms are possible or desirable? What would it look like? What forms of authority are appropriate in a pedagogical relationship, if any? How free should children and other learners be?
20 YOUR ROLE: This course is, as you know, thematically based rather than a chronological progression through the history of educational theory. We will return to some key thinkers again this semester so it is worth keeping to hand your notes from philosophy so that you can keep reflecting on these themes in relation to your other subjects and also your teaching practice. We will ask you to continue to reflect on your own teaching experience, on your lives, on your other areas of studies, on educational policy and on the Primary School Curriculum. We don t pretend that there is any agreement amongst thinkers in all these areas. Likewise, we don t expect you to agree with what each of us says. We do, however, ask you to provide reasons, reflections and argument for your position, and we ask that when you write that you engage with the designated readings on the course. You are being asked to respond to, and reflect upon, the ideas of these thinkers, not summarise them or even agree with them. We want to hear what your analysis is, not just your opinion; in short for you to submit a thoughtful and reflective response to these ideas. This is the last semester of three semesters in Philosophy of Education. IN CLASS RATIONALE : The form of assessment is a series of TWO reflective exercises of words. Write these on a continuous basis as the themes are distributed to you. This is a process based course so we expect to see progression and changes in your thought, shifts in your position, new ideas being developed, increased understanding, and so on. If you leave it until the last minute you will put yourselves under pressure and it will defeat the purpose of the continuous process based approach. What does this mean? We would like to encourage you to be critical, reflective and independent thinkers who engage in dialogue with one another as you continue in your studies of education. Please take advantage of the seminar format to discuss and learn from your peers, to raise questions and address points of confusion. The form of assessment is designed to help this. Having listened to the responses of students from last year, we are going to continue to incorporate some group work and film in lecture time where possible. This is not to assess how much you know but to encourage you to engage with the questions, and indeed, to raise questions yourself as well as to learn more about writing, reading and developing arguments. As peers you will have a good deal to share with one another. Even though we are in a large group, it is important that you try to participate in these activities in class. OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSE : 1.To develop a critical understanding of the ideas and values that shape approaches to education, pedagogy, and curriculum, with a focus on the relationship between education and democracy 2.To examine the different conceptions of the human underpinning different approaches to education. 3.To appraise the justifications for different approaches to education and for different methodological and curricular models. 4.To develop the students capacity for genuine engagement and reflection with philosophical ideas and questions and to engage in philosophical dialogue. 5.To enable students to reflect upon the relationship between philosophy and other subject areas, as well as teaching practice. 6.To cultivate the ability to reflect upon beliefs, values and ideas in light of those of others and different theoretical approaches. 7.To help students develop the capacity to compose pieces of writing that present a careful, reflective and reasoned argument engaging with the key readings on the course.
21 ASSESSMENT: TWO reflective exercises to be submitted in class in Week 8. The two exercises should be words each. The questions will be given in class and placed on Moodle. Essays must be undertaken in accordance with academic norms of writing. Repeat Assessment: The repeat assessment will take the form of an essay of words.
