Synopsis

This course is the concluding course in the physical education specialisation. It builds on curriculum and pedagogical knowledge established through the completion of previous courses in the physical education specialisation through detailed exploration of contemporary curriculum and pedagogical issues. Central to this will be a detailed investigation of curriculum issues that relate directly to the teaching of HPE in Queensland schools under a KLA model as well as other curriculum organisers. Students will be asked to critique traditional methods of pedagogy and develop an understanding of socially just pedagogical practices that may be applied in HPE settings.
