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) 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.
