Four hours per week in the first year and three hours per week in the second year.
Programs in this subject are planned and implemented by teams of lecturers combining expertise for teaching in specific areas and for general curriculum design, implementation and evaluation.
Specialised audio-visual training is available on an open access basis in the Colleges media centre.
For students whose specific curriculum area is taught at both secondary and TAFE levels (e.g. Forms 1-5 and apprenticeship), studies may concentrate on the secondary level in the first year and on the TAFE level in the second year. Where the area is taught only at TAFE levels, first year studies may concentrate on the earlier years/modules of the TAFE course.
In general, programs will include the following content which will be supplemented and organized in a variety of ways to suit the needs of each curriculum area:
• Planning
Distinction between aims, subject matter and procedures Relating these to learner characteristics, e.g. prior knowledge and skills, interests and abilities
Learner activity as distinct from teacher activity Structure, relevance and reinforcement
Anticipating difficulties and resource needs 'Lock-step' and multi-activity sessions Planning for different learning rates Student projects; out-of-class involvement Module programs.
• Procedures and Techniques
Styles of interaction; teacher as source and teacher as guide Classroom management
Time Allotment Conduct

• Assessment is cumulative in each year and is based on attendance at and participation in sessions and satisfactory completion of assignment work.
• In each term assigned tasks will normally consist of either a major assignment or several minor assignments which are designed:
-
to provide both written and/or practical evidence of competence in specific areas at each stage; and -
particularly in later stages, to provide evidence of development of knowledge and understanding in specific areas and the ability to synthesise this knowledge in planning and implementing learning activities.
• Separate results are awarded at the end of each of the first and second years.
