Overview
This unit develops your understanding of inquiry teaching in relation to inquiry-based learning, in relation to the design and implementation of curriculum, pedagogies, assessment and moderation. It focuses on the need for teachers to have a strong grasp of inquiry literacy in their own discipline(s) and any others that they wish to integrate. The unit also addresses the value of an inquiry approach to teaching the capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities in the Victorian and Australian Curriculums, whether in a single- or integrated disciplinary context. Particular emphasis is placed on cultural understanding, critical thinking, and Australia’s engagement with Asia.
