EDUC 7552NA - Pedagogical Engagement & Learning

Ngee Ann Academy - Quadmester 3 - 2017

This course defines a range of diverse pedagogies applicable to all levels of learning and introduces students to the history of pedagogical thought with a focus on engagement and student centred learning in contemporary contexts. The theoretical justification for the use of a broad range of pedagogies is examined. Theories of learning and the acquisition of knowledge including their implications for authentic pedagogical practices will be explored in the context of diverse socio-cultural realities. The ways in which to manage students of all ages to enhance learning engagement will be analysed. Students will be encouraged to develop a sophisticated portfolio of professional pedagogical repertoires specifically related to their field so they can model quality teaching and learning to peers.

Learning Resources

Required Resources

There is no required textbook. I recommended Killen, Roy (2016) Effective Teaching Strategies: Lessons from Research and Practice. Cengage Learning, South Melbourne (7th Ed), as it is a good text for delving in and out of as you wish. Readings will also be provided online via MyUni. Students will need a mobile device, such as a laptop, for access to teaching materials while in class and for the development of the Professional ePortfolio. Students will need to create a gmail account for accessing the ePortfolio template and Google Drive folders.

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.

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.
