EDFD133 Understanding Learning

10 cp

This unit is the second in a sequence of six units designed to expand the preservice teachers’ knowledge of learning processes. It builds upon and applies major theories of child and adolescent development and learning introduced in EDFD127, however it is not dependent on EDFD127 as the content revises theories of development. EDFD133 introduces learning theories, elements of pedagogy, teaching strategies and applications to curriculum design and teaching which are developed further in subsequent units, particularly in EDFD220 Teaching and Managing Learning Environments and EDFD221 Creating Inclusive, Safe and Supportive Schools.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) understandings and skill development will continue from EDFD127 to be integrated across EDFD133, particularly in the development of the professional ePortfolio which will contain exemplars of work and reflective writing and which will contribute towards the attainment of state professional standards.
