Subtitle

Learning to teach history in the secondary school

Synopsis

Generic Stage 1: Looks at a typical school day and follows six students through registration and tutor time and through various lessons such as French, English, drama, history and design & technology. The sequence offers PGCE students a glimpse of the learning demands placed upon a pupil during normal day.
Subject specific - History: Looks at two very different schools and teachers. In a large comprehensive school a teacher is shown in excerpts from lessons on the theme of ‘expansion, trade and industry’ and in his wider professional role in leading a meeting and in talking to one of his sixth-form tutor group. A teacher in a girls’ grammar school is shown looking at different interpretations of the reign of Charles I.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
