This subject develops participants’ knowledge and understanding about how learning can be conceptualised, evidenced, assessed and progressed.
To this end, participants will:
• Explore learning identities and the factors that shaped them.
• Use and apply the clinical practice model to learning and teaching.
• Develop an understanding of foundational assessment practices; particularly, the use of a taxonomical construct to inform judgments about student achievement and readiness to learn.
• Explore theoretical perspectives on furthering student learning, the curricular implications of these perspectives, and the historical development of pedagogical thought.
• Use and apply feedback strategies to report both to and upon student learning.
This subject prepares participants for EBLT2, which requires an evaluation of theory and practice in light of an evidence-based analysis of student learning.
This subject along with Learning & Teaching Contexts 1 and Language, Literacy and Numeracy, requires participants to implement the Clinical Praxis Exam. It also provides them with the opportunity to apply their learning in preparing to teach secondary school students attending the MGSE Summer School Program, as well as through their everyday teaching in schools.

(Graduate Standards refers to the Graduate-level Australian Professional Standards for Teachers)

- reflect upon the effectiveness of teaching interventions (Graduate Standards 1.5, 3.2)
- reflect upon learning theories in light of evidence of student learning (Graduate Standards 1.2, 6.4)
