013044 Geography Teaching Methods 1

Professional Practice in Geography 1 (Secondary) develops students' understanding and practice of learning and teaching approaches and strategies to promote the study of Geography in stages 4, 5 and 6 (years 7 and 8, 9 and 10, and 11 and 12, respectively). Students are taught the skills, knowledge, understanding, values and attitudes required of an effective beginning teacher of Geography in secondary school. This subject is closely associated with Professional Experience (Practicum).

An emphasis is placed on professional aptitude and commitment, and current developments in teaching and learning, particularly with regard to the NSW Board of Studies Syllabus' documents presently in use, as well as reflection on teaching practice.
