EDFD445 Middle Schooling Studies 3: The Middle School Curriculum

10 cp

This unit focuses on the nature of the curriculum development for middle years of schooling. Perspectives and principles underlying contemporary approaches to quality middle years education are considered in terms of developmentally appropriate practice and socio-cultural influences on learning. The pedagogical issues such as developing multiple grouping strategies that emphasise interdependence, cooperation, and individual responsibilities are explored. This unit will build on and extend the students knowledge about adolescent development, the sociology of adolescence, and curriculum development.
