Content
This unit prepares students to confidently and effectively teach Psychology in VCE Years 11 and 12. The unit aims to develop students’ comprehensive knowledge of the Psychology curriculum that incorporates both the scientific study of human behaviour through biological, psychological, and social perspectives, and the systematic application of this knowledge to personal and social instances in everyday life that are relevant to a diverse range of VCE students. The students will be encouraged to participate in, learn, and collect a range of contemporary teaching strategies, activities, and resources for diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment. A strong emphasis will be placed on enhancing the students’ capabilities to create new and invigorating teaching tools, including the responsible use of ICT, and the skills to critically evaluate and synthesise VCE students’ assessment data to inform their teaching of psychology.
