About this Unit
This unit introduces students to theoretical models and sound pedagogical practices in Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts in the primary classroom. Collaborative, experiential and blended learning as well as reflective practices are the key operating principles of the unit. Students will explore the theory and practice of the arts in the education process of children through practical and professional experiences. The unit provides an understanding of the importance of the art forms both as powerful teaching and learning strategies across the primary curriculum and as creative arts in their own right.
