Syllabus Participants will continue to develop a social constructivist approach to teaching and learning mathematics, based on social cultural theories and their application to learning environments. There is an emphasis on the deep understanding of the Geometry and Measurement strand and the Statistics and Probability strand of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. There is continued development of teachers' mathematical content knowledge with particular reference to knowledge of spatial and measurement concepts for effective teaching, as well as those related to data handling, statistics and probability. Development of pedagogical content knowledge is centred on the investigation of appropriate use of a wide range of technologies and manipulatives and their application to learning and teaching. The main topics are 2D figures, 3D objects, transformations, symmetry, location, arrangement and direction, measurement attributes, standard and non-standard units, process of learning to measure, different types of probability, and data collection, organisation, representation and analysis.

Introduction This is the third mathematics education unit for the Bachelor of Education (Primary) course. It is based on the idea that an inquiry approach to teaching and learning develops confident mathematics teachers with a deep and broad conceptual understanding of the content they need to teach. An inquiry approach is applied to the Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability strands of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. Many excellent teaching resources and strategies are presented including those based on digital technologies. There is further emphasis on diagnostic assessment in the form of a Child Study on measurement. Overall, the unit promotes conceptual teaching and learning and deep understanding of the content.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

Include this at the top of your lesson plan in the first expandable row.

Using the lesson planning structure required by your Professional Experience units (see the template that follows), write a lesson plan describing how you would introduce the inquiry task to a class. Ensure that there is a clear and specific learning objective, an engaging introduction, a range of clear and specific focus questions, obvious allowances for differentiation, and a clearly described opportunities for reflection.

The lesson plan must not exceed two pages.

Pass requirements

Please refer to Curtin University’s Assessment and Student Progression Manual for full details of all policies and procedures associated with assessment at Curtin. Each of your tutors and Unit Coordinators is obliged to observe this policy.

Assessment and Student Progression Manual

In order to pass this unit, all assessment tasks must be submitted and an overall mark of 50% or more must be achieved. It is not essential to pass all assessments, although the overall Unit Learning Outcomes must be achieved in order to pass a unit.

Successful submission means that:

l If the assessment task comprises discrete components, such as: ¡ three components of a portfolio, involving separate tasks addressing different aspects of the Unit

Learning Outcomes ¡ discrete sections such as test results and a report ¡ mandatory accompanying documentation such as a Parental Consent Form

Then all components must be provided for the assessment to be deemed as submitted. Late penalties will apply until the complete assessment is submitted.

l The electronic file must be readable. It is a student’s responsibility to ensure that assessments are complete and have been successfully uploaded in a readable format. You are advised to check that your file can be opened and that all sections are present and readable. Please seek assistance if you experience technical problems.

l For Turnitin Assessments – Successful submissions will display a green success message once submitted and you will receive a receipt, or notification of successful submission via email. If you do not receive this confirmation, your assessment is not submitted.

l For Blackboard assessment submissions, you will get a success message at the top of the screen, an email confirming submission and can see it listed as submitted in the ‘my grades’ tool.

l It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that assessments are successfully submitted. Late penalties will apply for identifying that the assessment was not successfully submitted post the due date.

l If you experience technical problems submitting you can contact [email protected] for support.

Students are strongly advised to ensure work is backed up to a separate, retrievable location, as extensions are unlikely to be granted for last-minute computer failure.

Students who are repeating this unit

If you have previously attempted this unit, you may be able to re-use parts of your assessment tasks in this unit attempt. However, in order to avoid self-plagiarism, it is essential that you follow the following procedure:

1. Contact your Unit Coordinator with a request at least seven days prior to the due date for submission. 2. In making your request, provide a copy of your previously-submitted work and clearly identify the parts of





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/local/docs/policy/Assessment_and_Student_Progression_Manual.pdf

mailto:[email protected]

your previous submission that you would like to re-use. Pay close attention to the requirements of the assessment task for the current unit, as these may have changed and your earlier work may not address them adequately. Also consider whether your work can be improved upon in order to maximise your marks, paying careful attention to feedback received.

3. If your request is approved, retain the approval notification, as you will need to attach this to your work. 4. In submitting your assessment, provide the following:

l This statement: I, (student name), declare that I have previously submitted parts or all of this submission in XXX, YYYY (e.g. SP4, 2017) in unit XXXX#### (e.g. EDUC1001).

l A copy of the approval received from your Unit Coordinator. Please note this can be a screen shot.

Your tutor will then disregard any similarity to your previous work as revealed by Turnitin, and you will not breach Academic Integrity requirements for the sections of your work that have been approved for resubmission. Turnitin matches for all other content will be reviewed as usual for compliance with Academic Integrity requirements.

Please be very aware that if you resubmit previous work for the same unit without attending to the above, you will breach Academic Integrity requirements and this may result in a case of self-plagiarism being logged, which you will then need to answer to. This can then result in penalties being applied to your mark.

Please also note that the above applies ONLY to work being resubmitted from a previous attempt at the same unit. You cannot under any circumstances re-use work submitted for a different unit.

If you have any questions about how to manage this process, please contact your Unit Coordinator, who will be able to advise you. Academic staff are keen to ensure that you are properly protected by policy provisions and not disadvantaged. This depends on you following procedures correctly.

Marking:

Assessment submissions are marked by your tutor or another member of the School's tutoring team who has experience with the unit content. Assessments are used to determine your achievement of the unit's learning outcomes; and marking is guided by the rubric (or marking guide) provided for this purpose. Every assessment is moderated to ensure a high level of consistency across the markers who are marking the assessment.





Assessment Moderation Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that students work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessments are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/

Pre-marking moderation

Tutors in the unit undertake a review of the assessment tasks and moderation arrangements.

Intra-marking / Post-marking moderation

Late assessment

Where the submission of a late assessment is permitted, late penalties will be consistently applied in this unit.

Where a late assessment is permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:

1. For assessment items submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date/time, students will be penalised by a deduction of 5% of the total marks allocated for the assessment task;

2. For each additional 24 hour period commenced an additional penalty of 10% of the total marks allocated for the assessment item will be deducted; and

3. Assessment items submitted more than 168 hours late (7 calendar days) will receive a mark of zero.

Intra-Marking Moderation

Academic staff marking the assessment undertake a marking calibration process. A distributed sample of assessed work, with attention to borderline marks, is reviewed by another member of the School’s tutoring team who has experience with this content. All potentially failing assessments are specifically reviewed.

Post-Marking Moderation

A summative review of each assessment and the outcomes is undertaken by the teaching team.

Any student who has evidence that assessed work has been inaccurately marked, or that their final unit grade is incorrect, has the right to request a review of the mark or final result. If this review process is unable to resolve the issue, a formal assessment appeal may be lodged. It is expected that most situations will be able to be resolved without the need for a formal appeal. The following process should be followed:

l Step 1 – Initial Request for Review by marker or Unit Coordinator. This informal review will be to check that marking was accurate and complete and may or may not involve a re-marking of the whole work. Marks cannot be reviewed downwards as a result of this informal process. In the School of Education, this informal review process is managed through lodging the Request for Review of Assessment.

l Step 2 – Formal Appeal. If the informal review fails to satisfy the student that their work has been accurately assessed, a formal appeal can be lodged via a Formal Appeal Against Assessment form. Students will be expected to provide full details of:

¡ Their basis for the appeal – evidence that the work has been inaccurately assessed. For example, one section may not have been included in the final mark.

¡ The informal review process if that has been engaged in and the outcome of any dialogue with tutors and Unit Coordinators.

It is important to be aware that formal assessment appeals must be lodged within ten working days of the result for the assessment task or final grade for the unit being released. Please read the Assessment and Student Progression Manual carefully for further information concerning appeals against assessment decisions.

https://students.curtin.edu.au/essentials/forms-documents/forms/



Where late assessment is NOT permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension:

1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will receive a mark of zero.

Assessment extension

Where an application for an assessment extension is permitted for an assessment item(s) within this unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline):

1. A student who is unable to complete an assessment item by/on the due date/time as a result of exceptional circumstances beyond the student’s control, may apply for an assessment extension on the Assessment Extension Application Form as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. The form is available on the Forms page at https://students.curtin.edu.au/essentials/forms-documents/forms/ and also within the student's OASIS (My Studies tab – Quick Forms) account.

2. The student will be expected to submit their application for an Assessment Extension with supporting documentation via the online form.

3. Timely submission of this information supports the assessment process. For applications that are declined, delayed submission may have significant ramifications on the possible marks awarded.

4. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the due date/time of the assessment item where the student is able to provide a verifiable explanation as to why they were not able to submit the application prior to the assessment due date/time

Where an application for an assessment extension is NOT permitted for an assessment item(s) within this unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline):

1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will be subject to late penalties or receive a mark of zero depending on the unit permitting late assessment submissions.

Deferred assessments

Further assessment

Further assessments, if granted by the Board of Examiners, will be held between 06/04/2022 and 20/04/2022 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners meeting via the Official Communications Channel in OASIS.

It is the responsibility of the student to be available to complete the requirements of a further assessment. If your results show that you have been granted a further assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.
