Subject value 1.0 * 3 hours per week * Full-year subject * Gippsland * Prerequisites: 6 first-year subjects including GEC1401
The initial section of this subject provides a basic introduction to sociology with particular reference to the way in which sociological understandings can assist in and contribute to an appreciation of teacher practice and school organisation of the curriculum. Students will then examine school-based curriculum development via an extensive model and will be encouraged to adopt a wide perspective on schooling in society. An important aim will be to assist students to reflect on earlier and concurrent studies as they progress through this subject. The subject is taught by lectures, seminars and tutorials.
