Teaching Methods in Mathematics is a course designed to teach teachers how to master the skills of planning, teaching, and assessing units of work in Mathematics from the Year 7 to 12 Mathematics syllabus from the NSW Board of Studies. Teachers will gain a deep understanding of pedagogical practices and develop advanced pedagogical skills in assessment design and the capacity to integrate theory and practice in pedagogy and curriculum. There is a specific focus on teaching methods for stages 4, 5 and 6 Mathematics. The course also provides professional experience for the teachers to apply the pedagogical methods and practices in classroom settings to teach Mathematics at these stages at high school. The course also addresses the Graduate Teacher Standards of Elements prescribed by the NSW Institute of Teachers. This course is an essential part of the Master of Mathematics Education degree and is specifically designed in consultation with education providers to meet the needs of teacher training.

Advanced Calculus is designed to instruct students in areas of modern calculus and its applications to real world phenomena. The subject covers differential equations, modelling, series, multivariable functions, integration and partial differential equations. It is designed to further students’ mathematical content knowledge as well as their skills in communicating complex mathematical knowledge and ideas.

Advanced Calculus

This course provides students with an opportunity to reflect on the process of strategic planning and the implementation of a strategic plan in a school context. It should be noted that the focus for this course is specifically on schools. Whilst examples of strategic planning and management in industry and government departments may provide useful comparisons, the focus of this course is on developing and managing plans for primary, secondary or composite (primary and secondary) schools.As well as gaining an understanding of developing a futures perspective and a strategic approach, the course will emphasise the need to identify core focus areas for school improvement and the importance of developing short term action plans.Hopefully, students will be encouraged to consider ways in which schools can improve their all-round educational offerings by being clear-headed about developing and implementing a strategic plan.Students will also be encouraged to think about applying their learning to practical school situations. Indeed, it is hoped that this course may provide a practical impetus for a number of students to engage in the process of strategic thinking and the development of a strategic plan in their own schools.

Strategic Management in Education

Pastoral Care in the School deals with the concept of pastoral care within the context of the school situation. The course explores the development of understandings and definitions of pastoral care from its scriptural and Christian bases to its role within schools today. Pastoral care has the individual as its focus, permeates all aspects of the curriculum, and is exercised mutually by all members of the school community. Pastoral care emphasises and promotes respect for the rights of every person. The ramifications of the moral duty of care and how care is demonstrated to students is also an important part of this Course. The course reviews forms of discipline and behaviour modification procedures in the classroom and in the school community. The psychological bases and sociological contexts of pastoral care policies and practices are studied. Special attention is paid to the distinctive characteristics of pastoral care in Catholic schools. The course provides case study opportunities for students to investigate.

Pastoral Care and the School

Students will apply their knowledge and experience of learning and teaching to design a pedagogical action research project which aims to enhance student learning. The focus is likely to be at the course level, and might investigate a specific practice such as assessment, work integrated learning/professional placement or learning strategies or activities. The design will utilise an action research framework which will require students to consider a targeted intervention, and critically select the most appropriate social research methods and tools, to collect and interpret data. The learning from this course will be synthesised in a mock Research Proposal and Research Ethics Application.

Designing a Pedagogical Action Research Project

Good assessment and evaluation in Higher Education has the potential to improve student learning, satisfaction, confidence in academic standards and retention. This subject allows teachers in higher education to advance their understanding of contemporary assessment practice by a critical engagement with contemporary assessment literature. From this foundation, students have the opportunity to examine how assessment is woven into the teaching and learning cycle and design and develop assessment instruments appropriate to Higher Education.

Principles and Practices of Assessment and Evaluation

The lens used to create curriculum in this course is constructive alignment. Students will examine curricula as an iterative design that is a product developed through: shared deliberation on context, policy, politics; scholarship of teaching and learning; and pedagogical imagination. This includes opportunities to examine curricula paradigms for inclusion, blended learning, research, constructivist approaches and authentic workplace and service-learning. Curriculum is presented as space that should be negotiated, communicated, managed and improved within clear processes that reflect quality practices. With this grounding students can build and evaluate a teaching activity, module, course and / or a course.

Designing Curriculum for Effective Learning

This subject introduces students to current perspectives on university teaching across the disciplines and professions. Educational theory and best practice are explored as a way to develop learning and teaching skills and encourage student engagement. As part of the subject, students undertake a series of practical tasks related to the professional practice of learning and teaching in academic, workplace and clinical settings. Reflecting current trends, the subject explores blended learning and mobile technologies and supports students in reflecting on their practice in relation to Australian standards for Higher Education.
