Some thinking about the underlying nature of a PGCE (one year post-graduate) course and the balance of:
- subject (substantive) knowledge in the core subjects (English, Mathematics and Science) and the foundation subjects (Art and Design, Computing, Design Technology, History, Geography, Music, Physical Education, MFL [KS2]) and Religious Education.
- pedagogic (conceptual) knowlege - how these subjects are taught
- theoretical (philosophical) knowlege - the underpinning conceptual and philosophical aspects of education
