EDECE2018 Science and Environmental Education in Early Childhood
This unit is designed to allow PSTs to explore the concepts of science and environmental awareness appropriate for young children in an early childhood environment. Using their knowledge of child development, content and curricula requirements PSTs will plan and implement appropriate science activities for young children in prior-to-school settings. PSTs will examine appropriate contemporary teaching strategies and curricula approaches, including play-based and inclusive strategies and alternative curricula approaches. PSTs will explore the importance and impact of culture, diversity and inclusion in the planning and programing of science and environmental education experiences. PSTs will begin to use advocacy and research to improve the teaching of science and environmental education in educational settings.
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.
