This subject builds on Learning Area Commerce and Business Studies 1 and focuses on further developing Teacher Candidates’ understanding of approaches to support the teaching and learning of Commerce at Years 7 to 10. Teacher Candidates will have an opportunity to develop their knowledge of how to create, implement and evaluate learning resources based on pedagogical strategies explored in Learning Area Commerce and Business Studies 1. A variety of learning resources will be examined, including those based on new and emerging digital technologies, and strategies related to their safe, responsible and ethical use in the learning and teaching of Commerce will be discussed. Teacher Candidates will identify the literacy and numeracy demands of particular Commerce concepts and analyse how particular learning resources might be adapted to enable diverse students to engage with, and develop their disciplinary understanding of, such Commerce concepts. Teacher Candidates will have an opportunity to demonstrate how data and evidence can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a chosen learning resource to support student learning in Commerce.
Learning Area Commerce and Business Studies 2 will facilitate thorough coverage of Victorian Curriculum requirements in relation to Civics and Citizenship and Economics and Business. There will also be a focus on assessment with consideration of assessment principles and guidelines. Teacher Candidates will engage with assessment materials to inform the creation, and evaluation, of a teaching program for Years 7 to 10. Building on Learning Area Commerce and Business Studies 1, Teacher Candidates will consolidate their knowledge of how to plan Commerce units of work that take into account context, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment to support diverse students to meet specific learning outcomes.
Reflection on teaching practice in Learning Area Commerce and Business Studies 2 will be facilitated through Professional Practice Case Studies. These case studies enable Teacher Candidates to draw upon reflections of their placement experiences in school based contexts, as well as theory and research, to respond to contextually based scenarios and dilemmas of practice. Teacher Candidates will use these case studies, together with collegiate interaction and self-reflection, to determine areas for future professional growth and development as a Commerce educator.
