Locate concepts of child and childhood in a historical and modern context (Component A, B); 2. Describe the ways in which the treatment of children has changed over time (Component A); 3. Reflect upon and interrogate a range of historical and contemporary sources relating to young children including images and children’s literature (Component A,B); 4. Discuss legal definitions of child and childhood (Component B); 5. Discuss concepts of needs and rights as applicable to children (Component B); 6. Critically reflect on a range of issues relating to children in society (Component B); 7. Reflect on their own views of the issues addressed (Component B). In addition the educational experience may explore, develop, and practise but not formally discretely assess the following: 8. Develop independent learning strategies and take responsibility for their own learning. 9. Locate, retrieve and critically evaluate a range of sources of information and ideas and understand the need to use appropriate sources to inform their work. | Syllabus Outline | * Conceptions of childhood, past and present * Children in history – family, work and school * History of parenting, childcare and educare * Children’s rights * ‘Deviant’ children * Education * Children and work * Sexuality and sex education * Poverty and childhood * Representations of children through images and literature * Changing childhoods | Contact Hours/Scheduled Hours | Contact time for this module will take the form of lectures, seminars, tutorials, presentations, directed study, online engagement and e-mail contact.The following structure represents a typical delivery; the precise delivery pattern will vary from year to year.Whole cohort events: 22 hoursSmaller group events (seminars, tutorials, presentations):39 hoursGuided study (group and individual tasks, including online engagement): 11 hours | Teaching and Learning Methods | Scheduled learning: This includes lectures, seminars, tutorials, presentations, directed study, online engagement and e-mail contact.Independent learning: There is an expectation that students engage in approximately 2 hours of independent learning for each hour of contact time on a module. This work includes hours engaged with essential reading, additional reading around areas of particular interest, assignment preparation and completion and review of feedback. | Key Information Sets Information | Key Information Sets (KIS) are produced at programme level for all programmes that this module contributes to, which is a requirement set by HESA/HEFCE. KIS are comparable sets of standardised information about undergraduate courses allowing prospective students to compare and contrast between programmes they are interested in applying for. The table below indicates as a percentage the total assessment of the module which constitutes a -Written Exam: Unseen written exam, open book written exam, In-class testCoursework: Written assignment or essay, report, dissertation, portfolio, projectPractical Exam: Oral Assessment and/or presentation, practical skills assessment, practical examPlease note that this is the total of various types of assessment and will not necessarily reflect the component and module weightings in the Assessment section of this module description: | Reading Strategy* | Essential reading: Students are encouraged to buy at least one text for this module or to ensure that they have access to the core text in collaboration with one or more course colleagues. The key texts will be listed in the module handbook and a copy of each is provided in the Library. Where texts are available as e-books, these will be available on the library website.Further reading: Further reading is necessary for this module, and students are encouraged to explore a variety of texts and sources around a range of issues. Many resources can be accessed online. A current list of texts is given in the module guide and revised annually. Access and skills: Formal opportunities for students to develop their library and information skills are provided within the induction period and the GDP. Additional support is available through the Library Services web pages, including interactive tutorials on finding books and journals, evaluating information and referencing. Sign up workshops are also offered by the Library. Indicative reading list: The list included as part of the module specification provides an indication of the type and level of texts which students might be expected to refer to as part of the work on this module.

3) Assignment Brief:
See module specification above for the assignment brief as it appears in the module specification.
Component A: Presentation
Individual poster presentation relating to the ways in which children’s experiences and conceptions of childhood have changed over time. Precise title to be agreed with tutor.
Assessment Criteria: AL1, BL1 and CL1 * The presentation relates to the history of childhood covered in the first part of the module. * We will talk about this assignment in more detail in a whole cohort lecture in week 11 * There will be tutorials offered in week 12 and 13 to discuss your presentation. * Week 14 is presentation week
Component B: Portfolio of tasks Task A: An analysis of an image or text relating to young children (up to 1500 words)
Assessment criteria AL1, BL1, CL1
As in all of the assignments for this module you have a choice. Find an image or text which interests you and relates to a theme you would like to discuss. Bear in mind that images includes art work as well as photographs, and that text can include fiction.
HAND IN TUES 25TH NOVEMBER Task B: An essay on a topic negotiated with module tutor and related to the learning outcomes (up to 2250 words).
Assessment criteria AL1, BL1, CL1
This is an essay on a topic of your choice. Most people will choose a topic we have looked at but you could consider something which cuts across more than one of these. I strongly suggest that you look at a different theme to your work for task A as it can be difficult otherwise to avoid repetition. You do need to agree your title with your tutor. The key focus for your work at this level is discussion and analysis so you need a title which will help you to move to this type of work. Even a well-written piece of work which only describes an aspect of childhood is likely to be much less successful than one which discusses.
HAND IN TUESDAY 6TH JANUARY 2015 Please note that you should not exceed the word limit for your assignments. If you do exceed the word count your marker will not read past the word count limit. This is to make the marking equitable. The word count is for the main body of your work – it does not include the reference list. You need to include the word count at the front of your assignment.
You can find the UWE word count policy at http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/aboutus/policies

6) Communication
Throughout your time with us, you will receive regular communication from your module leaders, and also administrative staff, and it is your responsibility to ensure that you read everything that you are sent, and act upon it where appropriate.
The main communication channel used is Blackboard for all the modules you are currently studying. Blackboard provides the main communication channel for module specific information and these too should be checked regularly for new content and announcements.
Please see http://info.uwe.ac.uk/myUWE/guidance/default.asp for further information on all aspects of your myUWE portal.

7) Advice and support
There are a range of facilities and services available to go for advice and support depending on what the issue is. Remember-asking for help at the earliest possible stage will help you in the long run. Your first point of call should always be your Academic Personal tutor, as they will be able to sign post you to the right services and will be able to deal specific matters relating to teaching and learning.
However you are more than welcome to talk to other members of UWE staff depending on who you feel most comfortable talking to.

Please find further information and links to advice in the programme handbook.
