EDMAS6028 Planning Effective Learning Environments for Learning and Teaching
This unit is designed to develop the Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) techniques for observing, documenting, planning, assessing and evaluating childrens learning using play-based pedagogies. Childrens capabilities, skills and interests will be examined through observation, documentation and analysis as an impetus for engaging young learners. PSTs will also draw upon current curricula, theories of learning and development to interpret observational documentation and assess learning. PSTs will use their skills and techniques in documenting and analysis to provide feedback to children and families. PSTs will further develop their understanding of psychological and sociological theoretical constructs in relation to communicating and interacting with children in culturally sensitive and appropriate ways giving consideration to the total wellbeing of children. This unit will highlight the importance of child, family and community consultation and partnerships in the planning of effective environments and assessing of learning. In addition, implications of multicultural and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives on environments, planning and assessing will be examined.
