Content

This unit focuses on professional issues critical to students' future as health and physical educators. In this unit, students will identify evidence-seeking questions related to the field of health and physical education and consider how these have influenced, or are likely to influence, pedagogical approaches to health and physical education in schools.
Opportunities will be provided for students to explore the important role that theory and evidence-based practice plays in reflecting on, debating and responding to a range of contemporary professional issues. Students will also engage in learning experiences and assignment tasks aimed towards preparing pre-service teachers for professional engagement with colleagues, parents/carers and the community as well as engagement in ongoing professional learning throughout their career as teachers of health and physical education
