Description
This subject continues to build the foundation for professional learning acquired in previous subjects of PDHPE Teaching Methods. Students apply educational research to planning and developing units of work; designing, organising and evaluating methods and materials for teaching PDHPE; and use this framework as a basis for their future teaching. Through an inquiry-based approach, in teams, students identify and explore real problems and questions in PDHPE to generate deep knowledge pertinent to students' professional learning needs.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
| a. | Locate and and draw on relevant teaching, scholarly and grey literature sources to inform planning of PDHPE curriculum content (GTS 2.2.1). |
|---|---|
| b. | Design learning sequences and lesson plans using relevant PDHPE curriculum, assessment and reporting knowledge (GTS 2.3.1). |
| c. | Plan assessment regimes that support consistent and comparable judgements of student learning and are context-specific to PDHPE (GTS 5.3.1). |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject engages with the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs), which are tailored to the Graduate Attributes set for all graduates of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
- Design and conduct effective learning activities, assess and evaluate learning outcomes and create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments (GTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) (1.2)
Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
This subject addresses the following Course Intended Learning Outcome:
1. Professional Readiness
1.2 Design and conduct effective learning activities, assess and evaluate learning outcomes and create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments (GTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Teaching and learning strategies
Students critically examine and apply current thinking and professional practice in PDHPE teaching and learning. They will work collaboratively outside of scheduled workshops and individually to analyse curriculum and syllabi for the planning of effective PDHPE programs. The process is supported by on-campus workshop activities and an online environment. Students undertake extended inquiry to investigate problems and issues in scenario-based and authentic school settings. They enact the role of PDHPE teachers and project leaders in a school department.
Formative feedback
The lecturer will provide formative feedback on students’ comprehension of key concepts and their application in workshops before the census date.
