The focus of this unit is teaching and learning in the senior secondary school (Years 11 and 12). There is a specific focus on pedagogical approaches and thinking skills applicable for senior teaching areas. The influences on senior secondary school curriculum frameworks from key stakeholders are critically examined. You will also analysis and interpret subject curriculum documents in order to plan and implement effective units of work that utilise pedagogical approaches that develop the thinking skills and processes required for discipline teaching areas. Other areas examined include curriculum development, teaching and learning resources, teaching strategies, pedagogical approaches, assessment and school work programs relevant to the pre-service teacher’s discipline teaching areas. Critical use is made of information and communication technologies, curriculum and policy documents, higher order thinking strategies and appropriate content in order to design quality learning experiences that involve explicit teaching of the subject discipline area in the senior schooling context.

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Each 12-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
