CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT

EDU2CAA

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this unit students will develop introductory knowledge of curriculum theory and critical perspectives on social and political influences on the development of curriculum frameworks used in schools in Australia. Students will use the Australian and Victorian Curriculum frameworks as the basis for understanding the broad aims for designing curriculum and assessment programs. Students will use formal and informal data to diagnose and inform the effective teaching that underpins planning for teaching and learning. They will examine measurement of learning to recognise and develop teacher impact in professional experience. Theoretical frameworks for curriculum design and selection of assessment to support effective learning and planned teaching sequences will be implemented and supported by personal and professional goal setting to maximise student learning. The first stages of effective reporting on academic performance are explored in relation to research on assessment and reporting.
