EDMED7065 Contemporary Educational Theories and Evidence-Based Practice
This unit focusses on how educational theories guide and inform curriculum and teaching practices at all levels of education, and how educational knowledge is generated using a range of research and data analysis methods. It introduces prominent educational theorists and theories, and explores how their work has influenced educational thinking, curriculum, and pedagogy. It also investigates some basic data gathering and analysis approaches commonly used in education to `test¿ theories, and explores different educational contexts and purposes to which they can be applied. It further explores current research on `what counts¿ as evidence of learning in different educational contexts, and interrogates debates over how to interpret and value this evidence.
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.
