How to decode your reading list
This session is designed to help you find the books and journal articles you need quickly and easily, using library catalogues and online academic resources. It explains the various scholary format and offers tips on active reading and notemaking.
Critical writing including evaluating resources
Academic writing can be descriptive or analytical. Descriptive writing provides background details, but should be brief to allow space for analysis and evaluation, which is needed to earn higher grades. Analysis examines reasons, relationships, and alternatives, while evaluation assesses significance, implications, and strengths or weaknesses. Critical analysis discusses evidence, theories, comparisons, and currency or relevance of ideas. Both description and analysis are important, but analytical writing is emphasized for assessment.
TA presentation
1) The document discusses how teaching assistants are writing teachers in their disciplines and outlines a three step program for accepting this role: acknowledging that you are a writer, accepting your role as a writing teacher, and accepting that you are part of a larger writing teaching team.
2) It provides practical advice for teaching writing such as setting objectives, using rubrics, introducing writing conventions, commenting on student work, and referring students to additional resources.
3) The document emphasizes that teaching assistants are not alone in teaching writing and lists additional supports available to students such as faculty, librarians, peers, and the Writing Centre.
Critical analysis what is it
The document discusses critical analysis, including defining it as looking at topics from different perspectives, considering context, and evaluating evidence rather than making immediate judgments. It provides examples of applying critical thinking skills like analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The document emphasizes that critical thinking is an important part of university work and various academic activities require applying these skills.
Critical reading
Critical reading involves carefully evaluating a text to identify its strengths and weaknesses by examining how well it presents and supports its arguments. It requires considering factors like the author's background and intended audience, the purpose and conclusions of the reading, the evidence used and whether logical connections are made between claims and evidence. It also involves assessing limitations, how the reading relates to other research, and for research-based readings, examining the methodology. Critical reading is useful for writing critiques or reviews by analyzing elements like definitions, logic, balance and addressing counterarguments.
Academic Writing
This document provides guidance on academic writing. It explains that an essay should have a clear thesis and use examples and citations to argue and prove that thesis. The introduction should contain the thesis statement and the conclusion should reiterate the argument. When planning, writers should consider the purpose, audience, and questions to be answered. They should clarify main ideas, avoid unnecessary information, and determine what type of essay they are writing. Researching requires finding necessary proofs and supporting information from reliable sources to reinforce the argument. When revising, writers should check that they have fulfilled the assignment requirements and that the introduction and conclusion frame the overall argument.

ABSTRACT
We report in this presentation on a current project of which the aim is to develop teaching approaches that engage doctoral students in working together as a research community to develop their critical writing and peer reviewing skills. We seek to foster in students a sense of collective endeavour in developing writing and research, and to encourage the sharing of ideas, drafts, and semi-formed thoughts in an atmosphere of mutual support. The project was launched via a residential critical writing weekend for students, featuring a range of taught sessions focussing on aspects of critical writing and reviewing and
featuring opportunities for students to engage in peer assessment activities. The students then formed an
editorial board for an online journal for doctoral students, through which they are involved in critical
writing, reviewing, providing feedback, editing and publishing a journal.Year 2 Briefing
1. The document outlines the foundation subjects and backup subjects that can be chosen for study, as well as the weekly schedule and assessment requirements.
2. It provides information on the block school experience, alternative placements, and the various modules including assignments and total word count required.
3. Quotes and explanations are given about problem-based learning methodology and its benefits for developing critical thinking and collaboration skills.
Childrens Plan And Teacher Education
The document discusses the implications of recent UK policy changes for teacher education. It recommends that teacher education programs develop teachers who can think critically, collaborate, reflect, and adapt. Programs should maintain a theoretical foundation while also preparing teachers for practical classroom application. There is a push for teachers to take a lead role in students' wellbeing, literacy, numeracy, and language learning. However, schools should not be solely accountable for wellbeing and teachers need autonomy.

Welcome Lecture
This document provides information for students starting their second year of primary education studies. It introduces the course coordinator and tutors, outlines course expectations and structure, and provides details on assignments, support services, and policies. Key points include options for new experiences and opportunities, a busy schedule with multiple assignment deadlines, the importance of time management and seeking help from tutors, and consequences for plagiarism or unexcused absences.
Identity
The document discusses several theories and concepts related to identity formation, including:
1) Stage theory proposes identity develops over the lifespan through social interactions and transactions with the environment.
2) Identity is not fixed, but rather a developmental and interpretive process that is negotiated, open, shifting and ambiguous.
3) Two major changes that profoundly affect identity are one's self-concept and self-esteem.
Ideologies Lecture
The document discusses different ideologies that underpin approaches to education, including progressivism, classical humanism, reconstructionism, and instrumentalism. It explores how these ideologies influence factors like curriculum design, teaching methods, learner and teacher roles, and assessment. While governments and initiatives often promote certain ideologies, there can be tensions, such as between a personalized learning approach and the constraints of a national curriculum. An awareness of the ideologies at play is important for educational professionals to maintain integrity and critical thinking.
Ideology
The document discusses different academic ideologies regarding education:
1. The scholar academic ideology views education as preserving academic disciplines by transmitting knowledge to students and the public. Students are seen as capable of learning the content and ways of thinking of their discipline.
2. The social efficiency ideology sees education as a process for efficiently changing student behavior. Evaluation focuses on determining how well a curriculum meets predetermined standards.
3. The learner-centered ideology aims to stimulate student, teacher, and curriculum growth. Students are unique individuals who naturally create meaning through interaction. Learning occurs naturally through relationships of trust between learner and environment. Teachers facilitate growth by providing meaningful experiences.
