Description

Professional Studies is the core compulsory component of the BTchLn (Primary). It consists of a series of courses that are designed to assist students to identify and meet professional needs. This process establishes links between professional practice experiences, pedagogy and learning theory, taught by the University of Canterbury. These links are further supported by the knowledge and skills students' gain in Curriculum Studies and other Professional Education courses. EDPS261 is the introductory 200 level course in this series.
