EDMT5502: Teaching for Learning: Teachers and Students

2024 unit information

EDMT5502 continues the exploration of the relationship between students and teachers while taking a closer look at the relationship between teaching and learning. Exploring the ‘messy tangled web’ of dilemmas in schooling and how as educators we may engage with the multiplicity of possibilities. This will lead into exploration of the complexity of pedagogy and decision making in matching pedagogical strategies to student learning needs. Following PEx we will develop reflection on action, to understand the decisions made and observed to build on the learning of professional experience and guide the ongoing process of learning as a teacher.
