Senior Secondary Science Pedagogy EMT630
Introduction
This unit builds on the knowledge and skills developed in the previous unit, but focuses more deeply on science education in complex and authentic contexts, including the demands of the senior science syllabi (years 11 & 12). Further development of confidence and competence in science pedagogy at the lower secondary level (Years 7 to 10) is also addressed. Greater recognition is paid to the nexus of learning outcomes, assessment and unit design with the aim of developing professional teacher judgment through the analysis of student work; the role of assessment in student learning and its importance in the design of curriculum is examined through literature, reflective practice and critique of student work.
