About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102116 Learning, Teaching and Technologies. Beginning a teacher education course requires students to orient themselves to learning and teaching in a variety of ways. This unit introduces students to a range of issues that are critical to effective teaching and learning. These issues centre on learning environments; the roles of teachers in schools and as life long learners; the responsibilities of teachers to observe and understand the children in their care; plan for individual children on the basis of diagnostic evaluations; employ teaching approaches which cater for the needs of individuals as well as the group; and employ assessment processes which empower rather than simply compare children.
In introducing students to these central issues in education this unit utilises ICT as part of developing professional practice.
