Aims

This topic aims to:

  • Extend pre-service teachers’ confidence, knowledge and skills in technologies learning and teaching
  • Enable pre-service teachers to develop an appropriate integrated program in literacies, numeracy, and technologies with design for children aged birth-12 years
  • Enhance pre-service teachers’ personal approach to teaching with and through technologies , based on their critical analysis of research and practical experiences. This analysis will draw on theoretical,  Indigenous and cultural perspectives that have shaped civilisation’s technological endeavours

1.
Apply critical self-knowledge which will form the foundation for expert judgement when planning to teach Technologies curriculum and supportive capabilities including ICT, Numeracy and Literacy
2.
Evaluate and document their teaching practice in response to an evolving body of research in numeracy, literacies and technologies thinking
3.
Demonstrate an advanced capacity to plan, analyse and implement a range of approaches to numeracy, literacies and technologies curriculum
4.
