Phil Egan| Subject Overview: | This subject will provide an overview of Indigenous youth cultures and a critical assessment of the fit between Indigenous learning approaches and needs of Indigenous students in contemporary education programs. The subject will develop an understanding of Australia's Indigenous societies, their histories, cultures and sport through interaction with Indigenous communities and visiting significant Indigenous sites (bush tucker and bush medicine). Exploration of Indigenous education will involve visits to schools and community centres including sports venues. Note: Participants in some field trips may be charged an additional fee to cover fieldwork trip costs. |
