EDCU13021 - Teaching Religious Education in a Catholic School

General Information

Unit Synopsis

In this unit, you will plan for, implement and evaluate teaching and learning in Religious Education. You will reflect on your understandings of the selected curriculum content and skills and identify challenges to teaching Religion in the contemporary classroom context. In consultation with a supervising teacher, you will implement a short learning cycle that embeds inquiry-based learning and dialogical pedagogy. In addition, you will plan an experience that invites students to participate in an aspect of the religious life of the school. Your planning, implementation and evaluation of teaching and learning in Religious Education will acknowledge classroom complexity and the diverse religious backgrounds of students in Catholic schools. Classroom planning decisions, implementation techniques and evaluation of resources regarding their suitability for use with a specific class will be justified.
