EDUF1020: Rethinking Education
Provides an introduction to key concepts in education, including pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment. These concepts are discussed within the context of four interrelated themes: (1) New times and practices for teaching and learning; (2) Knowledge, culture and curriculum; (3) Teaching as a process and way of life; (4) Teachers as learners and researchers. As the first unit in the Education Studies major, the unit introduces ways of thinking about education, teachers, young people and communities. It draws from a range of disciplines, including Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal histories and philosophies of education, sociology of education, cultural studies, psychology and human development.
