EDBED4009 Perspectives on Curriculum and Assessment
This course will examine contemporary issues about curriculum and assessment within a framework of various philosophical, psychological and political perspectives. These perspectives will inform an analysis of how diverse values and purposes have influenced the development of public views and policy within the Australian context. A range of assessment strategies will be investigated, including informal and formal, diagnostic, formative and summative approaches to assess student learning. This course explores the concept of constructive alignment between assessment and the curriculum, including associated validity and reliability considerations. Students will create and interpret assessment data to inform teaching practice, as well as how to keep and retrieve accurate and reliable records towards providing appropriate constructive feedback to students and reports on student¿s progress.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
