    Specific Course Requirements

    Attendance and participation in lectures (online and face to face) and tutorials is compulsory. All students are expected to complete the School placement (10 days), Working with Children Check (WWCC) and Mandatory Notification Training (MNT) Certificate. These requirements are all compulsory and are required prior to undertaking the placement in schools and attendance at lectures and tutorials.

    Students are expected to pass professional experience in order to pass EDUC 1100. Therefore, satisfactory completion of Professional Experience (10 days in school) is an assessable hurdle requirement for this course. Placement completion is determined by School Mentor Teachers in collaboration with the School of Education. If you do not satisfactorily complete the Professional Experience component of the course, you will be awarded a Fail grade for the course. Where there are Medical, Compassionate or Extenuating circumstances as defined in the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment (MACA) Policy, you may apply for an Assessment Extension in the form of an additional Professional Experience placement. Upon approval, the School of Education will endeavour to provide an additional Professional Experience at a time to be negotiated with a school. Where the additional Professional Experience occurs after relevant grading deadlines, a Result Pending grade will be assigned. The additional Professional Experience must be completed prior to the date that a Result Pending grade is automatically converted to a Fail grade as outlined in Policy.

    Hurdle Requirements Information:

    1- Attempted the placement - (complete the full ten days and receive a positive satisfactory report fro the mentor teacher in the school).

    2- For students who attempted the placement but were not successful, they will receive a Result Pending (RP) and an opportunity to re-sit the placement. If they pass the re-sit placement they will receive the original mark and will pass the course.
     
    3- If however the students did not attempt the placement, they would receive a Fail and have to re-sit the course even if they passed the course other requirements.

    Special Consideration:

    Students who wish to seek special consideration because of illness or special circumstances should apply to the lecturer in charge with relevant documentary evidence. This is usually a doctor’s certificate.

    Extensions and deadlines:

    If due to illness or other valid reasons, a student is unable to meet a deadline, he/she must contact the lecturer before the deadline in order to seek an extension (which may or may not be granted). Students are required to produce original documents to support their application for an extension.

    If any extension is not granted, the Faculty of ABLE's late policy will be applied. Please see MyUni for more information.

    Plagiarism:

    Plagiarism is “the reproducing of someone else's intellectual work and representing it as one's own without proper acknowledgment”. Examples of plagiarism include: direct copying or paraphrasing of someone else’s words without acknowledging the source; using facts, information and ideas directly derived from an unacknowledged source; and producing assignments which are the work of other people. Students are also not permitted to use AI to assist them with their assignments. 

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Tutorials:

    Attendance and participation in lectures (online or face to face) and tutorials is compulsory.  Each week there are tutorials in which we will discuss the topic and the reading listed for that week. All students are required to read the relevant chapter and reading materials allocated for that week. It is not meant to be another lecture. The success of the tutorials depends on everyone participation and group discussion. All participatns are expected to take part and complete the question / answer part to fulfill the course requirements.

    Placement 

    It is vital that you are able to apply educational theory and research to your teaching. Therefore, satisfactory completion of Professional Experience (10 days in school) is an assessable hurdle requirement for this course. Placement completion is determined by School Mentor Teachers in collaboration with the School of Education.

    If you do not satisfactorily complete the Professional Experience component of the course, you will be awarded a Fail grade for the course.

    Where there are Medical, Compassionate or Extenuating circumstances as defined in the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment (MACA) Policy, you may apply for an Assessment Extension in the form of an additional Professional Experience placement. Upon approval, the School of Education will endeavour to provide an additional Professional Experience at a time to be negotiated with a school.

    Where the additional Professional Experience occurs after relevant grading deadlines, a Result Pending grade will be assigned. The additional Professional Experience must be completed prior to the date that a Result Pending grade is automatically converted to a Fail grade as outlined in Policy.
    Assessment Detail
    Assessment Task 1: Planning a Lesson

    For this assignment, you will need to plan a lesson relevant to a topic from one of your key teaching learning areas or as negotiated with the tutorer in class. Your lesson plan will not only need to include a clear link to the 最新糖心Vlogn Curriculum or SACE, but provide well organised classroom activities. Students will also be expected to submit a 800 word report justifying the decisions made, as well as the handouts/resources and assessment tasks students are meant to engage with. This lesson will focus on the use of ICT/iPad resources, as well as how to cater to a diverse student cohort. 

    Assessment Task 2: Analysis of a Teaching Situation

    Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) need to create an analysis in a form of a presentation, using Keynote on their iPads, which summarises good practice teaching. This presentation will need to include audio, text and images. It will concentrate on strategies observed, and resources gathered, while on placement. As a result, it is very important to start planning from day one your topic and to start collecting materials for the writing. In order to define good teaching practice and reflect on responsive teaching strattegies, this assignment will require students to draw from scholarly sources. This presentation will be the equivilant of a 1,000 words.

    If students are unable to complete their placement, students will be able access other available scenarios provided in the course resources (APSTs, 1.3 & 2.2,). In this situation, students should inform the Course Coordinator.

    Assessment Task 3: Quizzes 

    There will be three quizzes scheduled throughout the semester based on course readings, lecture recordings and tutorial discussions. 

    School Placement:

    There will be a 10-day Professional Experience Placement at a school. This is a hurdle and if not complete successfully you will fail the course.
    Submission
    Assignments will be submitted via MyUni/Canvas.
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

  • Student Feedback

    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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    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.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
