Education Student CentreSubject Overview: | This subject will examine the transformation of disciplinary knowledge into pedagogical content knowledge, and strategies for optimizing student learning in the specific learning areas. The construction of the disciplines within the context of schooling will be explored and the development of discipline knowledge across the secondary years will be tracked. Mandated curriculum documents relevant to the Learning Areas, such as (for Victorian associates) VELS and the VCE Study Designs, will be introduced. The use of digital technologies in the learning and teaching of the school subjects will be a particular focus. The associates will develop curriculum units, including assessment tasks to use in the first weeks of their employment in schools. |
