This unit of study is the first part of Education I and provides a general introduction to education and teaching. The unit integrates the following themes: knowledge, culture and the curriculum; teaching as a process and way of life; and, teachers as life-long learners and researchers. Within this unit, students are also mentored by more experienced students during their first semester transition to the university. At the conclusion of the unit students should have developed and demonstrated an understanding of the complex character of teachers' work.
EDUF1019 Human Development and Education

Credit points: 6 Session: Semester 2 Classes: 2x1-hr lectures/wk for 9 wks, 1x2-hr tutorial/wk for 9 wks Prohibitions: EDUF1012 Assessment: (all parts compulsory) 45min seminar presentation (20%) and 2500wd Individual Reflective Report (40%) and 2-hr exam (40%)
This unit, which is the second part of Education 1 introduces students to the study of human development, with a particular emphasis on the development of early childhood through to adolescence. The unit addresses one of the major goals of Education I, II and III: the learning of a body of knowledge on 'human development (child and adolescent in particular)'. It is premised on the view that development is a complex and dynamic process and that teaching from this developmental perspective inevitably transforms teachers into problem solvers who adapt and modify their teaching and learning approaches, based on knowledge of factors that promote each child's optimal development. The unit will also consider the impact of history, culture, and social context on learning and development. A core assumption of the unit is that the study of human development is cross disciplinary; involving in particular psychology, philosophy of science and neurobiology, and that existing developmental theories are open to question and continuing debate. Students are therefore encouraged to engage in this study with critical and creative minds. The unit focuses on the processes and products of human development, related to cognitive, emotional, social, moral & spiritual, motor, and language development. The classical theories will be considered in some detail and examined in the light of contemporary theory and research, drawing in particular on Dynamic Systems Theory and the neurobiology of the brain.

Curriculum and Professional Studies Units

This unit of study will develop students' understanding of what it is to be a teacher within a specific K-6 context. The unit will examine the current NSW Board of Studies' requirements regarding K-6 PDHPE and will focus on the primary school learning and teaching environment. Through an examination of the K-6 syllabus, modules, support documents, and the NSW IT Professional Teaching Standards, students will develop the necessary knowledge and skills to design and deliver appropriate teaching experiences for a specific stage of learner and provide evidence of acquired communication skills. The unit is linked to 20 days Professional Experience in a Primary school.
EDUH1007 Pedagogy for Physical Education 1

Credit points: 6 Session: Semester 1 Classes: 1x1-hr lecture/wk for 12 wks, 1x2-hr tutorial/wk for 12 wks Assessment: 2000wd pedagogy essay (30%) and lesson plan with presentation (40%) and 90min exam (30%)
This unit of study is the first of five units on pedagogy in physical education. The five units move pre-service teachers along a spectrum of teaching styles ranging from teacher-centred to student-centred styles. This journey exposes them to the need for PDHPE teachers to be able to select and employ the appropriate approach. It focuses on topics and content that can be seen as requiring more teacher-centred approaches due to safety considerations and the nature of the activities being learnt. To this end pedagogy is studied in relation to motor learning theory as manifested in the Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) and the dominant movement approach in gymnastics. Additionally, this unit also introduces teaching strategies to accommodate the needs of all students including those from different backgrounds.

The unit of study follows on from EDUH1007 taught in year 1 moving the focus toward student-centred approaches to teaching as applied to the NSW PDHPE 7-10 syllabus mandated areas of aquatics, dance and games. It thus focuses on curriculum content that is suited to more student-centred teaching styles. Pedagogy in this unit is studied in relation to constructivist learning theory and the ways in which it can be applied to the curriculum content covered with attention paid to student motivation and behaviour management. Continuing the progression along Mosston and Ashworth's (1986) spectrum of teaching styles this unit begins with aquatics taught in a traditional directive teaching style, moving on to show how reciprocal approaches can also be adopted. In the Aquatics section students will also have an optional opportunity to gain the AUSTSWIM qualification. This move towards teacher centred pedagogy is continued into dance to show how some aspects of dance may be taught in a directive way but where the more creative and expressive aspects dance require more student-centred approaches. The third part of the unit also introduces students to teaching minor and major games for secondary school students using a student-centred approach with a focus on inclusion.
