ED1441 - Technologies for Primary School

Credit points: 03
Year: 2017
Student Contribution Band: Band 1
Administered by: College of Arts, Society & Education

Limited offering available to RATEP students only. NOTE: The delivery of this subject includes interactive online tutorials and requires students to have access to the World Wide Web for participation in this subject.

The primary goal of this subject is to foster pre-service teacher development towards the Graduate Australian Professional Standards for Teachers requirements in the context of design and technologies and digital technologies, the two distinct but related subjects of the Australian Curriculum: Technologies. Upon completion of this subject, graduate student teachers will be able to approach the teaching of technologies positively, including coding and robotics. Through a focus on pedagogical practices, students will develop and demonstrate an introductory understanding of the content and processes of technologies education including 'thinking in technologies' (design, systems and computational thinking), project management and how the ICT General capability is used to support technologies learning. Students will explore their role in influencing learning through planning learning experiences that provide primary students with authentic opportunities to create solutions, consider sustainable patterns of living and contribute to preferred futures for themselves and others.
