015121 Theory and Practice in ABE¹

Curriculum is viewed as a social construction, shaped by the beliefs and values of the individuals or groups who produce it. In this subject, students explore the relationships between curriculum and the broader society, and identify their own assumptions and beliefs about curriculum. They are presented with theoretical frameworks in which to develop skills for implementing and evaluating learning programs for adult literacy and numeracy students in a range of contexts. Consideration is given to assessment of student progress and issues of program evaluation. Students are expected to demonstrate competence in teaching practice.
