| This unit introduces preservice teachers to key issues and knowledges in the study of humanities and social sciences. Preservice teachers will develop skills to critically analyse issues relevant to specific discipline knowledge; diversity; cultural perspectives including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural and historical perspectives; embedded or assumed values, and social and physical sustainability. Learning activities will engage preservice teachers in a range of strategies, resources and pedagogical approaches for early childhood contexts including play-based approaches to expand their working knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework and Australian Curriculum in Humanities and Social Sciences for children to age eight years. |
