Back to course

## Why this course?

The biology component of the PGDE course builds on your existing knowledge of
biology to transform it into a form which school pupils can understand. You'll
work in groups with other student teachers to explore the practicalities of
teaching a biology class before, during and after the lesson. What prior
knowledge do the pupils have about the topic? What misconceptions are they
likely to have and how can you address them?

What about behaviour management? How can you plan practical work so it engages
pupils’ thinking? How can you help pupils to learn to love biology? Once you
have the taught the lesson, how you will reflect on what you could do better
in future.

### Worldwide qualification

The PGDE is a well-recognised teaching qualification worldwide and is
regulated by:

  * the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS)
  * the Scottish Government

If you wish to teach in another country you should contact the relevant
education authority to check your eligibility.

## What you'll learn

This course will equip you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills
you require. The PGDE is modular in structure and students will study three
modules across the year:

  * Education Studies; Professional Values
  * Professional Learning Through Enquiry
  * Professional Skills
  * Professional Skills - Curriculum and Pedagogy
  * Professional Skills - Professional Practice

PGDE operates a model whereby students attend classes on campus followed by
blocks of continued learning on placement. The modules run in parallel and
learning and practice is cumulative.

On-campus time is used to familiarise you with the curriculum, allow you to
collaborate with students and begin to plan lessons and develop materials.
Students will have the opportunity to teach mini-lessons and explore
innovative and motivating ways of engaging children and young people.

## Placement

You'll spend 18 weeks of the course on placement in a school within Scotland.
You'll be continually assessed while there to show you meet the requirements
for the Standards for Provisional Registration.

You must attend your placement school throughout the full working day. You
must also attend school on staff in-service days unless told otherwise by your
school.

Placement is your chance to put what you're learning into practice. You'll
explore your own teaching style, learn new techniques and develop
relationships with your pupils.

You must keep a portfolio of progress while on placement. This placement file
will form part of the evidence of your meeting the Standards for Provisional
Registration and prepares you for career-long professional learning.

## Future employment

Students from Scotland, other parts of the UK and the Republic of Ireland, who
are studying at a Scottish Higher Education Institution are eligible to join
the Teacher Induction Scheme (TIS). This provides a guaranteed 1-year training
post in a local authority to every eligible student graduating with a teaching
qualification from one of Scotland’s Higher Education Institutions. Find out
more about the Teacher Induction Scheme.

The PGDE is a well-recognised teaching qualification worldwide. If you wish to
teach in another country you should contact the relevant education authority
to check your eligibility.

## Work anywhere in Scotland

The Preference Waiver Scheme is a scheme whereby a student teacher on TIS
agrees to be allocated to their one year post anywhere in Scotland. The
additional financial incentive is in the region of £8,000.

### Subject-specific classes

All science teachers in Scotland have a specialist science teacher
qualification in physics, chemistry or biology. They're also qualified to
teach general science in first, second and third year in schools. In addition
to learning about the pedagogy of teaching physics, chemistry or biology,
student teachers of science also have an additional twenty hours of study to
learn how to teach general science. This component is taught in mixed groups
of physics, chemistry and biology student teachers to allow students to learn
from one another and to simulate working in a school science department or
faculty. The general science component is taught by a combination of
experienced science teacher educators and seconded teachers.

In addition, the general science component draws on the expertise of science
educators from the Glasgow Science Centre and includes a visit to the Centre
or other suitable sites to consider out-of-classroom learning in science. The
general science component of the specialist PGDE science courses makes it easy
for qualified teachers to find employment as teachers outside Scotland.

Education Studies: Professional Values

In this module, you'll explore the theoretical underpinnings of education.
You'll be encouraged to engage with issues of the nature and the purpose of
education, social justice and equality, and practice and policy in relation to
ethical and political ideas. Throughout this module, we aim to disrupt and
expand your thinking about education. You'll be asked to reflect on your
values and beliefs in relation to a range of educational questions and issues
and you will be presented with questions designed to challenge and refine your
current thinking.

The module will give you opportunities to consider how theoretical
underpinnings relate to the classroom; how your developing understanding
translates into the education context; and how your own values and beliefs
interact with your developing professional identity. Human Rights and Learning
for Sustainability together form the basic architecture of this module.

Professional Learning Through Enquiry

This module aims to develop students as enquiring self-reflective
practitioners who are able to work collaboratively to develop skills,
knowledge and expertise in an area of professional practice. Students will be
supported to develop as autonomous, transformative leaders of change. Across
the globe there is a growing call for education systems to be responsive to
the increasingly dynamic, complex and fast-changing nature of society. Through
this module, students will develop the skills and expertise necessary to
respond to the changing circumstances of the learning communities they
encounter.

Professional Skills

  * Curriculum and Pedagogy
  * Professional Practice

Taught both on campus and in schools, this module will enable you to become an
effective teacher through learning pedagogical theory, observing experienced
teachers and applying your knowledge and understanding in the practical
context.

Experience & References|

  * evidence that you have experience of working with children in a secondary school or related setting
  * an understanding of modern secondary education
  * an ability to relate to people

Relevant experience should be noted in your personal statement. At present,
it's difficult for all potential student teachers to access schools to gain
experience in support of their application for programmes of Initial Teacher
Education. Where possible, opportunities should be sought to gain experience
in contexts which involve working with children and/or young people.
Applicants aspiring to be a teacher should show that they:

  * are committed to the professional values of social justice, integrity and trust and respect
  * can understand what it means to be a trusted teacher and have a willingness to engage with the Code of Professionalism and Conduct
  * are self-directed and resilient
  * are interested in developing an understanding and awareness of the current context of education in Scotland
  * are capable of meeting the Standard for Provisional Registration which specifies what is expected of a student teacher at the end of the ITE who is seeking provisional registration with GTC Scotland.

**References** Applications made via UCAS require one reference and those made
via the University direct system require two. This should be an academic
reference if you are a current student or recent graduate (ie within the last
5 years). A professional reference (current/recent employer who can testify to
your suitability to teach) is acceptable if you graduated more than 5 years
ago. This can also relate to any voluntary experience you have working with
children/young people. A reference must be included with your UCAS
application; only in very exceptional circumstances will we consider an
application without one and you must explain in your personal statement why
this has been omitted. The reference should be provided as soon as possible as
no offer can be made until the reference has been received. References from
family or friends are not acceptable.  
English language requirements | You're required to have a suitable minimum level of competency in the English language if your first language is not English or if you haven't been educated wholly or mainly in the medium of English. For postgraduate studies, the University of Strathclyde requires a minimum overall score of **IELTS 6.5**  (**no individual test score below 5.5**) or equivalent. Tests are valid for two years. Pre-sessional courses in English are available. If you’re a national of an English speaking country recognised by UK Visa and Immigrations (please check most up-to-date list on the Home Office website) or you've successfully completed an academic qualification (at least equivalent to a UK bachelor's degree) in any of these countries, then you don't need to present any additional evidence. If you're from a country not recognised as an English speaking country by the United Kingdom Visa and Immigration (UKVI), please get in touch before making your application.**Please note**  that IELTS is not equivalent to a Higher (SCQF Level 6) English qualification. These are two separate requirements. In order to meet the PGDE entry requirements you'll be required to have both or equivalent.  
PVG and overseas police check requirements| All applicants who have been
offered a place on the PGDE course will be required to complete an application
to Join PVG Scheme or an application for Existing PVG Scheme Member through
Strathclyde University prior to starting the course. Students will be required
to pay between £18 to £59 depending on the related work they apply to. If
applicable, applicants who have been given an offer will also be required to
obtain the relevant oversea(s) certificate(s) of good conduct.
