EDMAS6030 Curriculum through Play (Arts)
This course is designed to allow Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) to explore historical and contemporary theories of play and their implications on practice. PSTs will also understand how play contributes to development learning and wellbeing in young children from birth to age eight across curriculum areas, in particular arts development. The course will explore music, movement and visual arts as a series of expressive and creative experiences that contribute to the development of all children. Approaches to play will be explored with a particular focus on nature play and use of natural spaces and materials in children¿s art and play. Various strategies will be explored in the planning of art-based experiences for young children. Notions of cultural diversity, play and art as a socially inclusive practice will be explored.
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.
