This unit explores the teaching and learning of psychology in secondary schools. It is designed to prepare students to teach psychology and consider the philosophy that underpins their teaching. It encourages students to consider the purpose of teaching psychology in schools and develop an understanding of the subject discipline's place within secondary schools, at senior level (Years 11 and 12) and younger (Years 7 to 10), including within the science domain and links to other domains such as health and humanities. It emphasises a view of learning about teaching as an ongoing, collaborative process that is developed through critical reflection on experience. -- Course Website
