This subject develops Teacher Candidates’ understanding of the place of Accounting education in the Australian secondary curriculum and the various factors that impact upon its implementation in school contexts. Curriculum frameworks such as the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), the Victorian Curriculum and the Australian Curriculum will be examined to enhance Teacher Candidates’ appreciation of the disciplinary knowledge and skills required to teach, and learn, Accounting in a secondary school setting.
Subject specific literacy and numeracy demands of Accounting will be examined and a range of pedagogical approaches will be discussed to provide learning experiences and opportunities for Teacher Candidates to analyse and demonstrate how students’ subject specific literacy and numeracy might be developed in Accounting. Contemporary digital technologies will be incorporated, where appropriate, to support Teacher Candidates to enhance their knowledge, skills and capabilities to use such technologies to support student learning in Accounting, as well as their own professional practice.
Teacher Candidates will develop their knowledge of how to plan Accounting lessons and units of work that take into account context, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment to support diverse students to meet specific learning outcomes. They will have an opportunity to implement an Accounting lesson and to use a variety of data as evidence of the effectiveness of their teaching practice on student learning. Reflection on teaching practice will be facilitated through collegiate interaction and self-evaluation to identify areas for future professional growth and development as an Accounting educator.
