Notes
This unit is part A of a two-part unit and must be taken in conjunction with part B (EDF4844).
This unit enables pre-service education students to build a strong foundation for their career-long professional learning as secondary school teachers of business management and related commerce studies. Students will acquire a sound understanding of key theoretical and pedagogical perspectives and issues in the teaching of business management and related curriculum. Through an examination of a range of curricula drawn from state, national and international contexts, students are familiarised with current developments in the theory and practice of business management education. Students work independently, collaboratively and interdependently to develop their capabilities in planning and implementing appropriate curriculum and pedagogy. The unit will reinforce a view of learning about teaching as an ongoing, collaborative process that is developed through critical reflection on experience.
