The introduction of a national arts curriculum is a significant development for education in Australia. The Professional Certificate in Arts Education provides comprehensive support to teachers as they implement this reform.
The Melbourne Graduate School of Education and the School of Arts Education combine disciplinary and pedagogical expertise to explore connections between artistic practice and pedagogy that reflect the structure of the Australian Curriculum: The Arts where the two strands – Making and Exploring – are interdependent. The Certificate equips teachers to acquire knowledge and skills in the distinctive forms of learning in the visual and performing arts and how outcomes of this learning are evidenced in research, literature, praxis, policy change and advocacy. Students will engage in artistic processes, presentations/performances and the examination of their beliefs associated with being an artist and teacher.
The Professional Certificate will prepare students to: develop knowledge and understanding of educational theory and practice in arts education; engage in thinking and express informed opinions through analysis of primary and secondary sources; demonstrate sufficient depth of knowledge and understanding to design, use and evaluate resources for teaching the arts; and show an understanding of recent developments in education research within arts education.
