External

HECS Band 1

Semester 1.

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 and 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%).
