Strathclyde PGDE Interview 2018

For the Strathclyde PGDE primary teaching interview, does anyone know what was included in the multiple choice questionnaire? Any help would be appreciated!

Don’t worry about that... it’s nothing to do with you getting in... it’s for research.. it’s basically scenarios and you have to put what you think :smile:

Okay, thank you I feel better now lol! Can I ask, what did you do for the presentation? I feel like I'm over thinking what I should pick.

I done health and well-being and I narrowed it down to shanarri and explained each indicator and linked in experience I have in the schools... :smile:

don’t worry though people done things like their hobbies and stuff. It’s just to see what you are like as a person... the group discussion is the tough bit I think. I had two really confident people in my group and it was so tough to get a word in. Plus we only had 15 mins as we ran over on presentations so I’m scared I don’t get in now as we never got enough time :frown:

Aaaaa just a waiting game now.

AAh okay thank you again! I know, that part must be difficult. Did you do a lot of prep/reading for the group discussion? Last question I promise haha!

Yeah I done lots of prep... asking lots of teachers... just thinking of what links in to my experience and stuff .. and I had lots of documents and things from the head teacher I work with and just read through them all :smile:

It was so nerve racking but I think it’s maybe worse just waiting now on them getting back to me 🙈
Best of luck :smile:

anything else feel free to ask. :smile:

It's not part of the selection process. It's a piece of research they are doing. Good luck with your interview.

What kind of high school qualifications do you have? Standard grades were the first exams I sat (when I was 15) a credit pass would be an A or a B at that level. You would be able to do that by independently studying for the exam or doing it through a local college if you don't already have the qualification, student advice at Strathclyde will be able to point you in the right direction if you give them a call.

Hope that helps!

Congrats on the offer!

I had my interview at the start of February and still heard nothing! Glad to hear other people are the same. The waiting is awful!
