HMALS3016 Games Pedagogy 1
Students will explore and understand the pedagogical theory underpinning teaching and learning of games. They will examine the philosophical foundations of learning theory with a focus on epistemology and the contemporary theories of learning that underpin game based approaches (GBA) for teaching games. They will undertake a thematic exploration of games, particularly looking at invasion games from a sociological and wellbeing perspective. Students will participate in a range of invasion games, developing relevant sport skills and tactical awareness. They will gain knowledge and skills in developing curriculum, and teaching invasion games through a Games sense approach, focussing on key features of GBA including questioning; game design and teacher-student relationships; and the challenges involved in adopting GBA pedagogy.
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.
