Learning & Teaching Modes

The focus of Curriculum and Methodology A & B courses is the practical application of theory. Topics covered in the common core seminars include teaching strategies, curriculum content, lesson and unit planning, assessment, classroom organisation, behaviour management within a supportive classroom environment. This will be contextualised for teaching your subject specialisation in workshops. Seminars and workshops will be interactive, incorporating a blend of whole class directed activity and group work.

Seminars and workshops will use a mix of online and face to face learning as well as requiring independent study outside of scheduled contact hours.

Online Learning

The MyUni site will be the primary site through which course materials and information will be shared, both for the common core seminars and subject specialisation workshops. As a minimum the MyUni site will contain:
•   Assessment details, including extended description of the tasks, due dates and marking criteria or rubrics
•   Recorded lectures and PowerPoints
•   Required, recommended and additional readings
•   Required, recommended and additional resources
•   Summary of learning activities and topicsMyUni may also be used for group discussions and collaborative and shared learning activities.

Subject Specialisation Curriculum and Methodology assignments will also be submitted and returned via MyUni.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

Full time students will be enrolled in 2 Curriculum and Methodology concurrently – one in each of 2 subject specialisation areas – each one scheduled over 8 weeks.

For each Curriculum and Methodology course students are required to attend the 2 hour workshop per week (or equivalent where scheduled as intensive blocks) and the scheduled common core seminars (Both Monday 11am-1pm & Monday 2-4pm).

Where, due to exceptional circumstances, students are unable to attend a seminar or workshop the lecturer in charge must be contacted as soon as practicable to negotiate how to catch up on missed work.

All students are expected to actively participate in seminar, workshop and online discussions and learning activities.

For each Curriculum and Methodology Course students are expected to spend additional time per week on individual work related to the course. This will primarily involve reading, research and preparation as directed during seminars and workshops. An average of approximately 4 hours per course per week is common.

Additional time will also need to be allocated for assessment tasks.

Assessment Related Requirements

All Curriculum & Methodology lectures are compulsory. An attendance roll is taken. This is in keeping with university
policy:
Attendance at other structured learning activities may be mandatory provided the achievement of learning outcomes is substantially dependent on the attendance, e.g. an orchestra/ensemble, placement, field trip, tutorial or seminar where there is an expectation of an interactive learning process. (Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy, Procedure 1, paragraph c; ; Downloaded 30/1/2014).

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
