Synopsis

This  unit will focus on the integration of curriculum decision making
and  philosophy of curriculum design and how this relates to classroom
practice. Through critical reflection on the related theories,  models
and  processes of curriculum, students will begin to develop their own
theories   that  will  influence  their  curriculum  development   and
implementation.  Students  will  examine  how  advanced  teaching  and
assessment  strategies evolving from curriculum decision-making  match
the  various grouping arrangements that can be found in a  variety  of
educational settings.

The  integration  of different `content' areas will  be  explored  and
students  will be encouraged to critically evaluate the use of  topics
or themes.

Fifteen  days practicum in schools provides students opportunities  to
apply  the  principles developed in this unit and to  further  develop
their skills and understandings of what it is to be a teacher.
