Module code: EDF233V
Credits: 2.5
Semester: 1
Department: FROEBEL EDUCATION
International:
Coordinator: Patsy Stafford (FROEBEL EDUCATION)

	Overview
	This module introduces students to theories of numeracy acquisition,mathematical and scientific learning, content knowledge, methodologies, skills and resources appropriate to 3rd � 6th class. The Primary School Curriculum (1999) � Mathematics and Science �3rd to 6th class will be explored. The module addresses the creation of an enquiry-based and independent learning environment involving the utilisation of the indoor and outdoor environments. Linkage and integration across the curriculum, particularly project work will be explored. The module will study the scientific and mathematical knowledge and vocabulary necessary for teaching Mathematics and Science in Primary School. Methods of children recording their work, documentation and assessment of children�s work including self and peer evaluation will be also be addressed.
