EDBED4109 Teacher as Researcher
Students develop understanding of innovative practices in childhood education through exploring literature and evidence-based research in teaching and learning in early childhood contexts. This includes a focus on innovation in using information and communications technology (ICT) and new media forms, and new approaches to literacy and numeracy education. A range of approaches to research are explored to highlight the participation of children and families, ethical issues in research with young children, teacher research, self-study, arts-based research and other innovative methodologies. Students are encouraged to study their own pedagogical practice and explore the learning possible when teachers are researchers.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $578
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $578
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
