Understanding pedagogy in global and local contexts

EDMED7076 Understanding pedagogy in global and local contexts

This unit is designed to explore a range of contemporary pedagogical approaches to learning and teaching in the areas of early childhood, primary and secondary education in Australian schools. Students will be encouraged to critically examine pedagogical approaches, including nature and place based learning, inquiry and experiential learning, collaborative and creative experiences and the role of the outdoors environment in schools locally and within the context of global education practices. The relationship between diverse pedagogical approaches and the impact of cultural and social forces on learning will be a focus of the unit. Students will use literature, research, personal experiences, reflective and collaborative processes to develop their understandings, skills and capacities.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ 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.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
