Curriculum Method 1: PDHPE

Abstract

As the first of two curriculum and pedagogy subjects, EMR341 Curriculum Method 1: PDHPE will provide opportunities for teacher education students to develop an understanding of and apply the curriculum inclusions in the K-10 continuum of the NSW Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) Key Learning Area. The subject aims to challenge students to discuss the role and value of PDHPE and the broader school curriculum, and describe the propositions which underpin the PDHPE K-10 syllabus. Students will explore and apply current theories relating to pedagogy including the safe use of digital resources and tools, protective strategies and sexual safety, and accommodate the diversity of learners' needs, interests and abilities. In this subject, students will examine and apply contemporary, evidence-based practices relating to curriculum design, literacy and numeracy, digital literacy, differentiation, authentic assessment, quality teaching, and reporting in PDHPE.
