Pgce Interview


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi SassPuss

 

These are some of the questions I can remember being asked:

 

Why do you want to teach?

What do you think the greatest book ever written is?

You see a group of children playing, do you think they are learning anything?

What would be the advantages of children being taught by computer programmes?

Should there be a chair for every child in the class?

 

Hope this helps. Where have you applied to?

Look relaxed. Don't fold your arms.

If you're in a situation where there's a group of applicants discussing... whatever..., it can be difficult to stick your oar in: persevere & make sure you say your relevant bit (others can keep getting in ahead of you, making it difficult). Try to be aware of how much or how little you are talking - you want a balance: at my interview there were a couple of people who were always talking and a couple who sat quietly because they didn't really get the chance to speak. I think I was somewhere in the middle, and Hey! I got a place. I guess there might be something in it?

 

At one interview ( quite a few years back) they asked me who my favourite children's author was. I was a little naive back then and was taken by surprise - I said Roald Dahl: I think 'predictable' is probably the word! (I didn't get a place there!!!)

 

GOOD LUCK! :)

Hi! I've applied to the University of Warwick as my first choice, as this is where I've been studying for my BA Honours Early Childhood Studies Degree. Newman College, Birmingham is my second choice because it's not too far away from where I live.
