Outline

Overview

This unit continues to explore the socio-cultural perspective of health developed in Health 1, looking specifically at how young people experience health within Australia. The unit explores the idea that not all young people experience health and illness in the same way. This is explored through a range of health-related issues including: mental health, alcohol and drug use, sexual health, gender and sexuality, road safety, and relationships. The concepts of harm minimisation, resiliency, protective factors and connectedness are examined through the strength-based approach to teaching health, and skills in critical media and health literacy are explored and developed.

Assessment summary

Assessment task 1: Literacy Teaching Strategy

This task has 3 parts.

Part 1. Homework Task

Students are required to design a teaching and learning activity with an explicit focus on literacy within PDHPE. The activity designed should foster student engagement in both reading and writing. You might see this as a task that you would give to students to complete as a homework task.

All resources, including the reading text, needed for the activity to be delivered should be submitted.

A lesson plan is NOT required. You should submit only the learning task ie the reading/ writing materials that would be given to the students (and some teaching notes) for them to be able to complete the learning activity.

Part 2. Literacy Activity

To accompany their teaching and learning activity, students must design a literacy teaching strategy that addresses either the reading or writing aspects of the task. This literacy-based strategy should help all students but specifically students who may experience difficulties with the reading/writing demands of the task. The aim of the literacy teaching strategy should be to assist these students access the homework task (part 1) and increase their chance of completing the task successfully.

Part 3. Justification (400 words)

Students must also submit a written justification that outlines how and why the literacy activity (developed in part 2) will assist students and enhance their understanding of both the required content and their ability to be successful in the task. This justification should be supported by academic literature ie. evidence based justification.

NB: The Part 2 literacy activity would be implemented in class prior to students completing the Part 1 homework activity. Having completed the literacy activity, all students should be able to have greater success in EITHER the reading or writng part of the homework task.

Assessment task 2: Lesson Plan and Teaching Presentation

This task has TWO Parts.

Part 1: Lesson Plan utilizing online resource and rationale (20%)

Through the unit, students are introduced to a range of online resources that specifically target youth and the health issues addressed in the unit (e.g. Reachout, Beyond Blue, TAC). In pairs, students are required to plan and prepare a 50 minute lesson plan on an allocated syllabus area using an appropriate and relevant online resource as a stimulus to promote student learning.

In planning the lesson, students must firstly select an appropriate resource and then create meaningful learning activities utilising the resource (or part thereof). These activities should cater for a diverse range of learners in a class of 25 - 30 students.

Students should provide sufficient detail in the lesson plan for the lesson to be delivered by a third party.

Part 2: Teaching Presentation (micro-teaching) (15%)

Using the lesson plan developed in part 1, students will then deliver a 25 minute micro-teaching episode demonstrating a teaching and learning activity that has the online resource as its stimulus. In the micro-teaching students should employ both teacher directed and student centred teaching.

Assessment task 3: Media Portfolio and Analysis

This task has two parts:

Part 1 Media Portfolio

Part 2 1200 Written Analysis

Throughout the unit, students will be encouraged to examine narratives around young people and health, and specifically to evaluate how media help to construct these narratives and impact of such narratives on young peoples' health.

In this task, students will select a health issue addressed in the unit (e.g. mental health, sexual health, alcohol and drug use, bullying, road safety), and they will need to source and collect 10 items of media that feature both the chosen health issue and young people. These 10 items will form the student's media portfolio (part 1).

The portfolio must contain items that are from varied media types/sources and items which were published/produced post 2015.

Using their portfolio, students then undertake a 1200 word analysis of their media items examining and evaluating the narratives that have been constructed about young people and the health issue.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automated writing tools

You may only use generative AI and automated writing tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator. If you do use these tools, you must acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section. The assessment instructions or unit outline will give guidance of the types of tools that are permitted and how the tools should be used.

Your final submitted work must be your own, original work. You must acknowledge any use of generative AI tools that have been used in the assessment, and any material that forms part of your submission must be appropriately referenced. For guidance on how to acknowledge the use of AI, please refer to the AI in Education Canvas site.

The unapproved use of these tools or unacknowledged use will be considered a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy and penalties may apply.

Studiosity is permitted unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission as detailed on the Learning Hub’s Canvas page.

Outside assessment tasks, generative AI tools may be used to support your learning. The AI in Education Canvas site contains a number of productive ways that students are using AI to improve their learning.

Learning support

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Support for students

The Support for Students Policy 2023 reflects the University’s commitment to supporting students in their academic journey and making the University safe for students. It is important that you read and understand this policy so that you are familiar with the range of support services available to you and understand how to engage with them.

The University uses email as its primary source of communication with students who need support under the Support for Students Policy 2023. Make sure you check your University email regularly and respond to any communications received from the University.

Learning resources and detailed information about weekly assessment and learning activities can be accessed via Canvas. It is essential that you visit your unit of study Canvas site to ensure you are up to date with all of your tasks.
