Aims
To provide students with opportunities to consider how educational and social diversity affect learning and professional practice;
To provide opportunities to consider how research methods impact on knowledge creation and understanding and the implications of these for diverse populations;
To explore the role of educational psychology in developing social and educational inclusion;
To further develop student skills in individual and systemic intervention and to reflect upon the positioning of diverse individuals and groups within these interventions;
To develop students’ analytic skills;
To develop students’ written presentation.
In this module we address equality of opportunity and outcome. Thus multicultural, social capital and class, disability, gender and sexual identity issues are considered. The role of educational psychologists with regard to children seen to be more vulnerable is explored, for example children in public care. Included in this module is an understanding of the complex nature of social exclusion and of initiatives to address this phenomenon, and the place of the role of the EP in working in organisations to be part of complex solutions.
