In this assessment task, you will be required to investigate pedagogical practices used to effectively teach students within a Victorian 7-10 classroom (NOTE: not in overall Australia, but particularly in VICTORIA) and examine the value and potential of various instructional strategies available to teach your specialisations (NOTE: your major specialization is ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS and minor specialization is the HUMANITIES); while reflecting on your own teaching practice as you lead into Junior Secondary.
(NOTE: to understand Victorian Curriculum, refer to http://victoriancurriculum.vcaa.vic.edu.au
to understand Victorian Currculum particularly for Economics and Business, go to CURRICULUM, and under the HUMANITIES, click ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS, and then check Curriculum tab.
to understand Victorian Currculum for the Humanities, go to CURRICULUM, and click the HUMANITIES, and then check Curriculum tab.
P.S. In Victorian schools, ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS come under the category of the HUMANITIES. Having said that, these are different subjects. So, this assessment should focus on specialisation 1: ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS
specialization 2: the HUMANITIES (as in overall- includes CIVICS AND CITIZENSHIP, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY and ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS)
You must include these important features in your report:
1) A short introduction which clearly sets out the context and rationale of your investigation (approx. 150 words)
This includes a brief summary regarding your understandings of adolescent learners and how those ideas connect to your area of specialisations (NOTE: your major specialization is ECONIMICS AND BUSINESS and minor specialization is the HUMANITIES).
2) A review of pedagogy and curriculum literature regarding your specialisation (approx. 400 words)
Read about pedagogy and curriculum and other research resources (NOTE: you can refer to https://www.acer.org/au/publications-and-resources to find research resources); discuss the ways pedagogy and curriculum are planned for and experienced in your Specialisations (NOTE: your major specialization is BUSINESS MANAGEMENT and minor specialization is the HUMANITIES) in a Victorian 7-10 classroom.
Explain what the challenges and the ways of engaging students through a variety of pedagogies are, which cater to your Specialisations (NOTE: your major specialization is BUSINESS MANAGEMENT and minor specialization is the HUMANITIES), considering AITSL standards 1.5, 2.1, 4.1. (NOTE: refer to https://www.aitsl.edu.au/teach/standards#! )
3) Conclusion (approx. 200 words)
Summarise your understandings of how you will cater for engagement, inclusion and differentiation in your 7-10 classroom, by reflecting on your weaknesses and strengths in the areas you have discussed in your report.
You will need to connect your synthesis and application of pedagogy and curriculum in your specialisation to the key approaches and strategies that you believe to best cater for this to occur and where you need to work on during your teaching practice this year to work towards achieving those outcomes (NOTE: refer to AITSL standards where possible).
4) References
Include a minimum of 5 academic references (NOTE: AITSL standards and other government documents, text books are not counted as reference)
Insert in-text citation as well as end reference
