Course description
This course serves the needs of multiple cohorts of students. It prepares current teachers to teach psychology in the senior phase of schooling. Students with backgrounds other than teaching will develop skills to prepare them for potential employment opportunities and/or subsequent studies aligned with the field of psychology education. During the course, students will engage in a critical analysis of recent disciplinary developments in scholarship and professional practice in the teaching of psychology in the senior phase of schooling. Students will demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills to practice through (i) designing discipline specific assessment tasks that draw on curriculum, assessment, reporting, and ICT knowledge; and (ii) identifying and designing discipline specific opportunities for professional engagement and communication within the school context, teaching networks and the broader community.
