EEP443 Aboriginal Perspectives for Secondary Education (8)
Abstract| The subject has been designed to allow students to explore Aboriginal Education and its benefits in the secondary educational setting. As students begin to critically reflect upon perceptions of Aboriginal Australia they will encounter a diverse range of pedagogies and strategies that can address these issues in the secondary classroom. They will have the opportunity to utilise their pedagogical understandings to investigate and reflect on current Aboriginal, multi-cultural, anti-racism education polices, programs and services, evaluating their role in contributing to student outcomes, equity and quality of secondary education. |
