Rationale |
Effective primary teachers are confident in the use and application of technologies as well as proficient in a range of pedagogies that motivate learners to explore and steward God’s creation.
This unit is designed to assist pre-service teachers to develop a deeper understanding of technology integration, digital technology processes and Design Technology within a practical-based and applied framework. Technology strands of Knowledge and Understanding, and Process and Production Skills will be elobarated within both sub-disciplines utilising the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model as a framing tool. Pre-service teachers will be equipped to design learning goals, pedagogical practices, strategies and resources to engage, support and assess learning development in Technology in primary (Years Prep- 6) contexts. |
