Content
This unit will provide students with the ability to critically analyse and synthesise pedagogical principles of assessment and planning to reflect contemporary understandings of teaching and learning for young children. By critiquing their theoretical knowledge and understandings of assessment and planning, students will develop and broaden their competencies as teachers to incorporate the perspectives and aspirations of children and their families.
Students will engage in critical reflection on the influences of their own values, beliefs and understandings about teaching and learning. They will develop the abilities to incorporate different understandings from their own worldviews when assessing and planning for children’s learning. This will include the ability to recognise and respond to learning for individual children in a way that is inclusive of the child’s own social and cultural understandings.
This unit has a focus on assessment of learning, providing feedback and curriculum evaluation. Students will examine strategies for collecting and interpreting assessment data for the purpose of designing purposeful learning experiences and evaluating and modifying teaching practices. Students will learn about the role of moderation to support consistent and comparable judgements. They will also explore strategies of providing feedback to children of all ages. Students will learn about various methods of documenting and keeping reliable records of children’s learning to demonstrate progress and achievements, as well as sharing this learning with families.
