Graduate Certificate in History Curriculum
Why study the Graduate Certificate in History Curriculum at UNE?
The course comprises studies in history and education pedagogy focused on the needs of teaching the new Australian National Curriculum in History. The course covers the understanding, knowledge and appreciation of history as a discipline and helps the teacher explore how history orders and makes events, practices and ideas intelligible. The course also covers the study of education pedagogy, focusing on curriculum decision-making, resource critique and development, inquiry learning and authentic assessment. Units of study encourage a critical and open attitude to history; offer a breadth of methods and theories that characterize history as a discipline; offer a wide choice of areas of study ranging from the ancient past to the modern world; and provide opportunities for the student to closely examine their current pedagogical and content knowledge, adapt or adopt contemporary skills and understandings, and engage in activities and assessment tasks directly linked to their classroom practice. This course can only be completed on a part-time basis.
