10 cp
This unit is designed to provide participants with strategies for planning, implementing and monitoring learning experiences for students studying humanities subjects in schools. The unit will build on documents relating to curricula in these areas. There is a focus on primary and junior secondary subjects with special attention given to the critical role of language in developing understanding in these areas. The development of understanding in a range of humanities curriculum areas will be explored through the use of inquiry and problem based learning, physical and social based learning, disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning, and learning technologies. The unit proceeds to designing and implementing units of work and developing strategies for assessing learning experiences for students. Special attention will be given catering for individual differences. This unit is also designed to develop in students an awareness of the opportunity that the discipline of humanities provides for meeting literacy learning needs namely in the reading, writing, and interpretation of a range of written and visual texts.
