| ED20Y – Introduction to Computers in Education |
| In this course students will be able to acquire knowledge of computer, how the computer affects teaching and learning. It will also enable them to use the computer as a tool for manipulation of text, numbers and graphics; creating presentations; publishing; and information transfer. |
| ED24E - The Psychology of Science Teaching and Learning |
| This course is designed to enable participants to understand and critique some of the relatively long-standing and contemporary psychological theories that underpin students' cognitive development as well as their practical implications for the effective teaching and learning of science. |
| ED24G - Teaching Methodologies in Science |
| This course encourages teaches to take a critical look at their own practice and expose them to a range of teaching strategies that are available for use in the science classroom. |
| ED20X – Issues and Perspectives in Education |
| This course seeks to develop the students' understanding of the interplay of forces which affect teaching and learning and influence educational practice and policy. Students should thereby come to appreciate the critical and dynamic role they play as the educators of the citizens of tomorrow. |
| ED34J - The Sociology of Science Teaching and Learning |
| This course seeks to deepen participants' understanding of some of the sociological factors that influence science curriculum content, the nature of science classroom communication and interactions and their practical implications for the teaching and learning of science. |
| ED34C - Assessment of Science Teaching |
| This course provides an opportunity for equipping the secondary school science teacher to be acquainted with the assessment possibilities that exist and be proficient at using each type of assessment strategy to enhance learning in the classroom. |
| ED34A - Selected Topics in Science |
| It is hoped that this course will raise the students' knowledge of the physical sciences and enhance their teaching competence. LABS - Advanced Inorganic and Advanced Organic Chemistry Laboratory |

| ED34Q - An Introduction to Secondary School Science Practical |
This course is intended to equip teachers with the skills to conduct practical work in schools with special emphasis on the
school-based assessment for the CXC science subjects. |
| ED30Z - Investigating our Teaching |
| This course is designed to aid in the understanding of the role of the teacher as a learner, researcher, self-evaluator and reflective practitioner. It provides an opportunity for students to apply their know-ledge of the teaching learning process in implementing an innovative teaching experiment to address a problem in their classrooms, to reflect critically on the experience and to write a report, which informs their future practice. |
