EDMAS6033 Curriculum Approaches
This unit is designed to introduce Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) to influential thinkers in the field of early childhood education. PSTs will explore both historical and contemporary approaches to early childhood and their impact on pedagogy and the wellbeing of young children. Alternative curriculum approaches will be examined with a focus on Nature Pedagogy. The importance of multicultural and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives will inform curricula decision-making and socially inclusive practices. In this course, PSTs will continue to develop their teaching portfolios, begin to develop a teaching philosophy and professional learning plan, the outcome of which will allow the PST to highlight professional learning needs and begin to plan for their own ongoing professional development and professional identity.
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.
