This unit of study is the first of five units that make up the program of Education Studies. This program is the core curriculum for students enrolled in initial teacher education courses. Units within this program are also of relevance to students enrolled in other courses. This first unit provides an introduction to key issues in education, including: the complexity of teachers' work, the contested nature of knowledge, and the multiple ways that formal learning functions in society. Equity and social justice are key themes that are examined by drawing upon concepts derived from the sociology of education, cultural studies, curriculum theory, and educational research. In the first four weeks, students participate in a peer-mentoring program conducted by senior students. At the conclusion of the unit students should have developed and demonstrated a critical understanding of education, teachers and teaching.
EDUF1019 Human Development and Education

This unit EDUF1019, which is the second part of Education I, introduces students to the study of human development, including a critical overview of current theory, research and practice in human development, with particular emphasis on the development of early childhood through to adolescence. A core assumption of the unit is that the study of human development is inter-disciplinary, and that developmental theories, past and present, are open to question and debate. Students are therefore encouraged to engage in this study with critical and creative minds. The content of the Unit focuses on the processes and products of human development, related to neurobiological, cognitive, emotional, social, cultural, and language development. The classical theories are considered and examined in the light of contemporary theory and research. The seminar programme of the Unit is concerned with the teaching of values in schools and early childhood education settings, including the creation of values-based learning environments, and with each participant's development as a human self, focusing in particular on the development of participants' professional skills and personal values.

Curriculum and Professional Studies Units

Credit points: 6 Teacher/Coordinator: Refer to the unit of study outline https://www.sydney.edu.au/units Session: Intensive February,Intensive July,Semester 1,Semester 2 Classes: 1x2hr lecture/week for 12 weeks, 1x1hr tutorial/week for 12 weeks Assessment: 2x1hr multiple choice quizzes (55%), 1x2500wd dietary report (45%) Mode of delivery: Normal (lecture/lab/tutorial) day
In a world where nutrition advice is commonplace but not always accurate, learning the basics of good nutrition habits is vital for development and growth at all stages of the life cycle. If practiced correctly, nutrition can help prevent disease, assist in reaching health goals, influence sports performance and reach academic outcomes. This elective aims to equip students with the knowledge required to make informed food choices and gain skills in analysing their personal diet and nutrition habits. At the conclusion of the elective, each student will be a mythbuster of common diets, supplements and fads touted by the media, and be able to separate fact from fiction. Topics covered in the unit include the anatomy and physiology of digestion, the link between common diseases and nutrition practices, nutrition for sports performance, practical tips for shopping and cooking and the use of food to improve cognition.

This second unit within health builds on the determinants approach and continues to explore the socio-cultural perspective of health, with this unit looking specifically at how young people experience health within Australia. Discourse around young people and health often positions them as a homogenous group who face many challenges in achieving and maintaining health, and this unit challenges this discourse and explores the idea that not all young people experience health and illness in the same way. Through examining different narratives around young people and health, students are able to reflect upon how aspects of youth health are constructed within society and how their own belief systems have developed. In this unit, students investigate and explore a range of issues that impact on the health of young people including mental health, alcohol and drug use, sexual health, road safety, and bullying. Students further explore the policies and practices that inform the teaching of these sensitive issues within a school. The concepts of harm minimisation, resiliency, protective factors and connectedness are examined through the strength based approach to teaching health, and skills in critical and health literacy are explored and developed. The unit finally explores how health education can be used to develop health literacy skills within young people to better enable them to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing choices. With the focus on the 7-10 health content, the unit examines the literacy requirements of the syllabus and develops the knowledge and skills required for PDHPE teachers to teach the literacy through the strands of Self and Relationships and Individual and Community Health.

Firstly, this unit of study will focus on examining the structure and function of the human body as well as applying this knowledge to a variety of situations related to physical activity and exercise, and how the systems of the body influence and respond to movement. Secondly, students will examine how biomechanical principles can be applied to understand locomotion and sports techniques. Finally, students will investigate the positive contribution of physical activity and sport to health and well-being. This unit draws upon content from the NSW PDHPE stage 4 and 5 Syllabus and Physical Activity and Sport Studies (PASS) Syllabus. Students will examine the numeracy and literacy requirements of the syllabus and will develop knowledge and skills to teach numeracy when analysing movement, solving problems and interpreting physical activity data.
