PHSED4004 Diversity in Education: Health and Physical Education
Students will explore diversity in education and specifically health and physical activity (HPE) from various perspectives; diverse teaching practices, teaching diverse learners, teaching in diverse settings and teaching about diversity. They will revisit diverse teaching practices and will develop strategies to identify, teach and assess diverse learners. Working collaboratively with a peer, students will undertake an extensive study into a diverse group (e.g. Indigenous Australians, students with a disability) exploring background factors such as history, culture and language, and how these factors shape learning in general, and specifically in HPE. They will also explore how educational policy, curriculum and practices support and constrain learning. Opportunities and strategies for teaching in diverse settings will be studied. Students will participate in a diverse teaching experience, either in a diverse setting, or teaching a diverse learner in a school setting. Additionally, students will also explore curriculum guidelines and develop curriculum to teach diversity awareness and acceptance in HPE.
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).
2025 contribution amount* $578
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $578
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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 Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 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.
