Disgrifiad cryno

This module explores the landscape of curriculum, curriculum design and planning and assessment across different educational systems, with a focus on England, Wales, and global perspectives. Students will engage in a deep dive into the definitions, ideologies, and historical contexts of curriculum, alongside the evolution of assessment strategies. Through a combination of academic dialogue and practical application, the module challenges students to critically evaluate curriculum and design innovative assessment tools, enriching their understanding of educational effectiveness and accountability.
