EDMAS6049 Primary Science Education
This unit is designed to examine key theoretical and pedagogical perspectives and issues in the teaching of science and technology with children, with emphasis on developing children's skills of working scientifically, designing and making products. Students are introduced to a range of current curriculum documents and a variety of teaching strategies used in schools including lesson and unit planning, implementing and enacting curriculum, monitoring and reflecting upon learning and reporting. The unit addresses important conceptual ideas and processes about embedding science and technology into classroom learning, understanding science as a human endeavour and the differences in learning progressions in science and technology.
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.
