This subject introduces Interns to the theory and practice of teaching Art. Building on Interns knowledge of the theory and practice of teaching, this subject provides Interns with an introduction to the content pedagogical knowledge and skills required to effectively teach this area. This subject will provide Interns with a foundation to teach at the Year 7 and 8 level in Arts within school contexts.
Interns will be supported to develop knowledge and skills related to Arts within the context of the Australian/Victorian Curricula and Frameworks, best practice pedagogy and assessment, and their application in classrooms. They are encouraged to adapt and apply this knowledge in lesson planning, including the selection and integration of strategies and resources, including ICT. The assessment tasks in this subject will support the development of Interns understanding of content and pedagogical knowledge, along with specific skills in resourcing and delivering learning programs.
The subject will entail practical workshops involving individual and group-work supported by theories of Arts Teaching curriculum and embodied learning. Interns will create their own studio-based work and will engage in curriculum planning, approaches to arts teaching and theoretically-informed reflection.
