Course description
This course introduces students to some of the new developments taking place in the middle years of schooling in Australia. The course will examine some of the reasons for reform in the 'middle years', particularly in light of research that challenges the relevance and effect of traditional curricular and pedagogical practices for young adolescents and increasing concern about student underachievement and disaffection from school. The scond part of the course will examine how systems and schools are responding to the call for reform in the middle years. Case studies of a range of middle schooling practices wil be analysed. The analysis wil focus on specific developments in curriculum, pedagogy and assessment in these case study schools and the implications of these reforms for students' academic and social outcomes. This course may not be offered if the enrolment is less than 10 students.
