EDMT5676: Re-thinking: Students, Teachers, Schools
2024 unit information
EDMT5676 is the first unit in the 'Foundations' suite of MTeach units. EDMT5676 introduces relationships at the core of teaching, focussing on the relationship between students and teachers. Through in-school observations pre-service teachers will gather a range of information to be analysed to disrupt existing thinking on schools, students and teachers opening to the wide possibilities for future schooling. Central to the relationship between students and teachers is the support of students' social and learning behaviour. Recognising teaching as problematic, EDMT5676 explores the complex relationships between students, teachers, pedagogy, and student behaviour.
