Undergraduate - UnitEDF3024 - Advanced pedagogy in the primary years B

This unit continues the development of students' understanding of varied methods, practices and research in the teaching and learning of disciplines, subjects and learning priorities in primary schools, with an emphasis on the later years of primary school. Through this advanced pedagogy unit, students build on their prior learning of discipline principles and concepts and practice from across the course to further develop skills in a number of areas including lesson and unit planning, developing learning outcomes for students, differentiated curriculum and individual planning for diverse learner needs, selection and preparation of appropriate teaching resources and assessment strategies, and the selection of appropriate content and teaching procedures. The focus of the unit is on developing pedagogy relevant to older primary learners and to curriculum from education systems outside of the Australian context. This includes how to develop pedagogy in school systems where mainstream resources are not available, so that students are capable of teaching across the world in varied settings.
