• Constructivism (SMEC 706)

  • Facilitator: Peter Taylor

  

  This Doctoral unit enables students to develop an in-depth understanding of constructivist theory. Students explore contemporary constructivist theory and its intersection with critical social theory and postmodernism. This exploration involves reflective thinking about learning during the unit and thinking creatively about practical implications.

• Curricula (SMEC 612)

  • Tutor: Peter Taylor
  • Facilitator: Darrell Fisher
  • Facilitator: BalChandra Luitel

  

  This Masters unit challenges taken-for-granted assumptions about curriculum. Students explore how various curriculum images determine their attitudes and beliefs about teaching and learning. Whilst curriculum discourse is often restricted to elaborations on the 'What' and the 'How' of curriculum, we also explore the 'Why' and the 'Who'. The question of Who is the Self that teaches? is explored by use of narrative, envisioning and self-study.
