This unit provides pre–service teachers with an introduction to Arts education. The Arts make a unique contribution to children’s education, enhancing their social–emotional well–being and promoting creativity, cultural understanding and social harmony. Teachers must be equipped with knowledge and skills in The Arts disciplines and pedagogy in order to provide learning experiences for children.
Through research and exploration pre–service teachers will develop foundational knowledge and understandings of Arts practice, pedagogical principles and curriculum structures within Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts. Through engagement in practical activities, analysis and discussion they will develop skills in making and responding across five distinct Arts disciplines, with an emphasis on practical application in the classroom. Pre–service teachers will apply and demonstrate their conceptual, pedagogical and curriculum knowledge through developing learning experiences that are responsive to the needs of diverse learners in school settings.
This unit aims to develop skills and confidence in providing active, developmental and differentiated learning experiences in the Arts for diverse contexts.
