Study Details: PGCE Full-time 1 year
Drama is an exciting secondary school subject which enables young people to develop artistic skills for performance, as well as explore the world in which they live. It is a powerful force to develop critical thinking and agency, and provokes reflection on the human condition in a globalised world.
Subject-specific sessions will develop your knowledge and understanding of Drama in education as a discrete discipline and pedagogy. You will learn how to collaborate with others creatively and imaginatively and develop your subject knowledge in a range of key texts and practitioners through theory and practice. As a trainee you will learn how to teach Drama to pupils in the 11–16 age range within the secondary age phase, with additional primary and post-16 enhancements.
You will have to possess a real interest and passion for drama and an ability to think creatively about presenting the subject to others. Candidates will need to adopt a flexible approach to the varied topics, plays and methods of assessment used in schools at key stage 3. Although your university tutor will provide support, you will need to be prepared to carry out research into new areas of subject knowledge and themed topics as delivered by individual drama departments, whilst on your school placements. Also you will need:
For example Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of science (BSc) etc. or similar . They are sometimes known as ‘undergraduate’ or ‘first‘ degrees.
