HIGHER LEARNING BY DESIGN: FOUNDATIONS OF CURRICULUM DESIGN, TEACHING & LEARNING IN TERTIARY ED
EDU4CTL
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This first subject in the Graduate Certificate in Higher Education introduces participants to foundational ideas, debates and discussions about higher education curriculum, teaching and learning with a particular focus on student learning and engagement. Participants are encouraged to view their teaching practice (the demands on it, and on academics more generally) as part of a wider set of contradictory shifts taking place across tertiary and higher education sectors. Participants will have opportunities to consider their own teaching, assessment/feedback and curriculum practices from a range of perspectives, and will be encouraged to develop teaching strategies and techniques that are informed by research and scholarship. Along the way, participants will have several opportunities to apply their learning to the issues and challenges emanating from their own professional/disciplinary context.
