Course description

This course is based on principles inherent within Indigenous Australian worldviews that propose Indigenous pathways to knowledge as a necessary enhancement of teaching theory and practice and as a vital component of a balanced school curriculum. This course introduces the landscape of Indigenous education in Australia as a dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of knowing, pedagogical practices, voices and perspectives. The course explores the terrain of Indigenous Australian Studies as a curriculum area and our work as teachers in relation to Indigenous Australian students. Students will be presented with information to build their knowledge and understanding of Indigenous Australian histories, cultures and languages. They will give consideration to the ways in which appropriate education for students from Indigenous backgrounds should take into account cultural identities and linguistic backgrounds.
