EDF3303 - Integrating the curriculum 1: Creative exchange - 2017

In this unit students construct, implement and evaluate learning experiences through engaging with and exchanging different forms of knowledge, including the arts, language and numeracy. Students participate in research that involves critical engagements with a range of sign systems. Commonalities between the arts and numeracy are established including colour, shape, line, form, tone, space, rhythm, time, texture, tactility, motion and various approaches to problem solving. Students examine, critique and design interdisciplinary and integrated curriculum.

Upon successful completion of this unit students should be able to:

1. develop an understanding of integrated curriculum as a pedagogy
2. critique integrated curriculum as a pedagogy
3. design, plan and evaluate integrated learning experiences for a range of learners
4. show an understanding of the connections between the arts, language and numeracy in an educational context.
