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) 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.
