Content
This unit accommodates in-depth and contextualised discussion of aspects of educational theory, policy and practice. Students will consider discourses of education as they relate to particular teaching/learning communities and explore the sociological nature of educational inquiry as it relates to schooling. The unit develops an understanding of the educational framework that underpins context in schooling, and also gain a familiarity with the theory/practice nexus in schooling and education. Students will analyse the various interpretations of sociologies of education regarding the nature of schooling, and discuss aspects of policy enacting in school communities and its influence in education more broadly. They will also engage with aspects of socio-cultural theory to develop an understanding of communities of practice for effective learning and teaching in contemporary times.
