Content
The unit provides students with the opportunity to explore the content of the four VCE psychology units in detail. In particular, attention is paid to the assessment procedures involved in each unit and students will be expected to demonstrate proficiency in these.
The unit also builds on students' knowledge of effective teaching and thoroughly explores the need for clearly stated objectives and appropriate strategies to meet these. A strong emphasis is placed on developing students' capabilities to devise appropriate, novel, learning procedures not reliant on specialised equipment.
