These texts will be made available to you via Blackboard-Resources, and are listed later in this Handbook.

Introduction

This part of the assignment is designed to introduce the student to a selection of texts related to different aspects of the study of education, the role of education and approaches to educational research. Clearly a short module can only serve as an introduction and therefore we invite all students to engage with the literature beyond these core texts. This assessment briefing covers the texts identified as a Key pre-session reading for lectures in the programme. 

You should begin your preparation for this assignment by reading and familiarising yourself with each of the Key pre-session readings. It is best to read each text before the related lecture (as well as re-reading afterwards), as the lecture and the subsequent revisit of the themes in the seminar will help to support learning in relation to the selected critical issues in education and educational research. 

For the first part of the assignment we expect you to read and review 4 (four) of the Key reading texts listed below, (or three plus one choice of your own, for example an article from your particular discipline). If you choose one of your own texts to review (plus three from below), you will need to select this in consultation with your tutor, and let the tutor know by Friday 08 December 2023* at the latest.
