The Childhood Studies (top-up) is a Level 6 work-based learning programme that builds on Level 5 work-based learning qualifications, for example the Foundation degree in Childhood Studies at Winchester.Students broaden and deepen their knowledge and understanding of a range of issues pertaining to children aged 0-11 and their families - gaining an understanding of the ecology of childhood and building competencies to work within a range of complex practical settings.Students compare and contrast policy, curricula and practice in the UK with those in other countries; examine recent research relating to childhood care and education; and develop research skills. Through these means, and through discussion of students' experience in their work settings, students are enabled to adopt a critical stance to current issues in the field.Students continue their work in the sector alongside attending taught sessions at the University one day a week. The programme is designed to fit with work and family commitments and the delivery pattern links closely with local school terms - for example, the University sessions are not usually scheduled during school half-terms.

About this course
The programme is delivered using a range of teaching approaches including seminars, practical classes, external visits, work-based learning and guided independent study.Work-based learning earns credit within the programme and needs to be reflected upon and related to theory in a systematic way. Students are provided with a framework for this reflection through the taught components of the programme.This work-based learning degree aims to shape ';confident learners'; by enabling students to develop the skills to excel in their studies here and in the workplace. The degree is explicitly designed to be delivered in a way that puts into practice the key concepts about promoting effective learning that the programme advocates practitioners should be employing with children, and to highlight the links to students throughout.Staff and students form a community of learners who, together and independently, seek to generate and exchange knowledge. Over the duration of the course, students develop independent and critical learning, building confidence and expertise progressively through independent and collaborative research, problem solving, and analysis with the support of staff. Students take responsibility for their own learning and are encouraged to make use of the wide range of available learning resources available.In addition to the formally scheduled contact time (i.e. seminars etc.), students are encouraged to access academic support from staff within the course team, personal tutors and the wide range of services to students within the University .Key features of the student experience are: Linking theory with practice in their workplaces Making a range of visits to extend their experience and learning from fellow students who work in a range of relevant settings and roles Guest speakersTeaching teamThe degree is situated in the Department of Interprofessional Studies...
