EDMST6027 Teaching STEM using Interdisciplinary (integrated) methods in middle years classrooms
This unit explores the rationale and research supporting approaches to teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) knowledge and concepts through interdisciplinary, problem and project-based methods. Content focuses on understanding how the principles of Design Thinking can be used to guide interdisciplinary STEM teaching and learning, and how this mirrors `real world¿ product and process development. It also interrogates research and examples detailing successful interdisciplinary STEM teaching and investigates the nature of STEM discipline knowledge and skill development using curriculum of this design, and how this might be assessed and reported. Through practical `hands on¿ experiences, it will model how these processes can be applied in primary and middle years classrooms.
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.
