E22: Cad is dea-oideolaíocht ann?

Bíonn an focal ‘Oideolaíocht’ le feiceáil go láidir i gCreatchuraclam na Bunscoile (2023). Sna blianta atá romhainn, de réir mar a chuirfear an curaclam athfhorbartha i bhfeidhm, beidh an oideolaíocht ina príomhábhar i bhfoghlaim ghairmiúil an mhúinteora. Sa chlár seo, ba mhaith linn tosú le míniú a thabhairt ar an oideolaíocht - cad is brí léi agus conas is féidir léi a bheith bríoch agus éifeachtach. Tá Póla Ní Chinnsealaigh (Príomhoide) agus an Dr Patrick Burke (Léachtóir) linn chun a léargais ar an taighde agus ar an gcuma a bhíonn air seo ó lá go lá sa seomra ranga a roinnt.

E21: Learning Environments in the redeveloped curriculum: Looking Outdoors (Dr Orla Kelly and Ruth Collins)

In this episode we discuss Outdoor Learning in the Redeveloped Primary Curriculum, examples of current practice in outdoor learning, adapting outdoor learning to bespoke settings, the affordances that outdoor learning offers in terms of possibilities for active learning. Our guests on this podcast are Dr Orla Kelly (Dublin City University) and Ruth Collins (Slane National School, Co, Meath).  Orla and Ruth also discuss embracing unexpected teaching and learning opportunities in the outdoors, addressing teacher’s concerns regarding taking the learning outside, the inclusive nature of outdoor learning as well as risks and hazards in the outdoors.

E20: An t-aistriú ón mbunscoil go dtí an iarbhunscoil

Tá aistrithe mar ghnáthchuid den bhunoideachas, lena n-áirítear, den chuid is mó, an t-aistriú ón mbunscoil nó ón scoil speisialta go dtí an iarbhunscoil. Tógtar ar réamhfhoghlaim, ar fhéinluach agus ar fhéiniúlacht na bpáistí agus iad ag bogadh ón mbaile go dtí an réamhscoil agus ar aghaidh tríd an mbunscoil. Leagann sé sin bunchloch thábhachtach do bhogadh go dtí an iarbhunscoil. Chun an t-aistear tábhachtach seo a phlé, tá John O’Donnabháin (múinteoir meánscoile) agus Cian Ó Conghaile (múinteoir bunscoile) linn don eipeasóid seo.

E18: Child agency - From understanding to practice (Part 1) – Dr Siobhán Keenan Fitzgerald and Shelly Furlong.

‘Child agency’ and ‘child voice’ are terms that are often used in conversations about curriculum change. Sometimes, however, this can feel abstract or difficult to translate into practice. Over these two episodes, we want to unpack what child agency really is, why it matters, and how teachers can support it in their classrooms. In the first episode, we focus on understanding child agency, what it is, why it matters, its impact, and some of the challenges teachers might face. In the second episode, we move into the practical side, looking at how curriculum and classroom practice can actively foster agency.
