EDUP4103: Advanced Science and Technology K-6 A
2026 unit information
This unit provides a more extensive preparation in primary Science and Technology and enables students to gain a NESA accredited teaching specialisation in this discipline. It is designed to strengthen teaching of Science and Technology across K-6 and focuses on concepts that are problematic for primary students to understand. The unit also develops competency in research-based teaching approaches and the development of exemplary teaching resources. Connections between theory, research, and practice will be exemplified through rehearsing science and technology teaching, lesson study, invited workshops and/or school visits. Special extension tasks are incorporated based on opportunity.
