EDUC 7558 - Critical Pedagogies in the Secondary Years

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2024

This course will explore concepts important to the development of expertise in middle and secondary school pedagogy. Students will investigate a variety of pedagogical approaches to be implemented at each stage of secondary schooling. The investigations will ask students to design learning which sets performance expectations that acknowledge difference in the classroom and promotes safe learning environments. Each investigation will orient to a different stage of schooling and focus, such as cultural diversity; critical thought; accountable communities of practice within and across school subjects; student capacity to act upon their ideas and make connections with the world beyond school. The course responds to the APST for graduate teachers and other reform agendas designed to build teacher resources and skills.

  • 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.

    Assessment Detail
    Assignment 1:  Theory and practice reflections (20%)
    Prior to tutorials, students respond to and make connections between specified readings. Students will be expected to submit a digital copy of their reflections to the assignment page and the discussion board prior to the workshop/tutorials. Two marks will be awarded  on the basis of a timely submission (10 Marks). One week will be randomly selected for depth and quality of response (10 marks).

    Evaluation of a teacher’s practice ( 30% 1500 words or equivalent)
    Students examine a video illustrating a teacher’s practice which is presented as a 1500 written evaluation or recorded oral presentation submitted on MyUni (equivalent to 1500 words e.g. 7-10 minutes).

    Case study: responding to a pedagogical challenge ( 50 % 2500 words)
    In response to a pedagogical challenge, students develop and write a sequence of learning at a specific stage of the middle and secondary years. The sequence can either be an integrated study or within a specific subject. Students will need to justify the pedagogical decisions in relation to the curriculum content being taught, make evident the pedagogical strategies deployed within the learning sequence and conclude by synthesising the intended outcomes of the pedagogies deployed.
    Submission
    Submit all assignments electronically via MyUni.
    Course Grading

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

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description
    FNS   Fail No Submission
    F 1-49 Fail
    P 50-64 Pass
    C 65-74 Credit
    D 75-84 Distinction
    HD 85-100 High Distinction
    CN   Continuing
    NFE   No Formal Examination

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • 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.

    Changes to course based on Selt Feedback

    1. Lectures will be shorter
    2. More time to discuss readings in tutorials
    3. Assessments modified to include discreet assessments for participation and responses to readings
    4. Less readings will be required
    5. Tutorial groups will be organised according to continuing and mid-year enrolments
  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines

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

  • 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.
