QDFD220 Teaching and Managing Learning Environments

10 cp

This unit is designed to provide preservice, primary and secondary educators with an introduction to theories and practices informing teaching and learning environments. They will investigate theoretical perspectives of teaching practice and implementation to establish and maintain effective learning environments. Preservice educators will develop a critical understanding of approaches to teaching and learning through engaging with research, scholarship and professional experience in appropriate educational setting. Preservice educators will critically address the complexities of teacher performance, classroom management strategies, planning processes, teaching strategies and social contexts that inform learning environments and evaluate online learning environments. They will identify issues relating to their safe and ethical use and develop web-based learning resources. The implementation of communication and interpersonal skills will be addressed within various early childhood school, classroom and community contexts. Through various perspectives of teaching and practice preservice educators will develop an understanding of productive pedagogy with particular reference to the importance of creating quality learning environments.
