About this Unit
In 2018 this unit replaced by 102603 - Early Mathematics and Numeracy. This unit aims to develop students’ critical and meaningful understanding of how mathematics, science and technology shape our lives and the world we live in. It will extend students' understanding of the investigative nature of these areas, how they integrate and impact on each other and how they can be promoted in creative, positive, challenging and meaningful ways in the learning environment. This unit will foster students’ positive disposition towards teaching and applying mathematics, science and technology in diverse and multi-dimensional education settings for children aged birth to 12 years and develop students' pedagogical expertise in mathematics, science and technology in early childhood and primary school settings. It will also develop teaching practices in this area, including the use of relevant pedagogical approaches and the Early Years Learning Framework principles, practices and learning outcomes and the relevant Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards syllabus documents that align with the Australian Curriculum. Students must satisfactorily complete the School of Education Numeracy TASK as part of the requirements of this unit.
