Curriculum Construction
| Cairns | HECS Band 1 |
July block mode.
Available to Postgraduate Certificate of Education, Bachelor of Education (Professional Development) and Master of Education students.
Staff: Dr M Dinan-Thompson.
Students examine their roles in curriculum construction through a study of educational practice, literature on curriculum construction, education system requirements and through simulation of curriculum construction processes. Students emphasise the roles they are involved in but experience something of other roles as well. Examples of such foci include: the construction and implementation of school and classroom curriculum documents such as mission or policy statements, relationships between curriculum and administration and the construction and implementation of curriculum in school.
Learning Objectives:
- develop conceptualisations of curriculum;
- identify implications for schools of such conceptualisations;
- apply these conceptualisations to the curriculum construction, implementation and evaluation tasks in schools.
Assessment by literature review (3,000 words) (40%); curriculum project (60%).
