Syllabus
This unit focuses on the development of a range of effective pedagogies with particular emphasis on the
Proficiency Strands of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. Students will continue to develop a deep
understanding of the Number and Algebra strand of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. Topics include
effective teaching and assessment of primary mathematics, and planning with a focus on the ‘big ideas’ of
mathematics. Curriculum content focuses on understanding operations, computational choices, and algebra and
number patterns. As well, there is a focus on strategies for working in a differentiated learning environment,
including the use of tasks that accommodate diversity, with a particular focus on Indigenous learners and catering
to their specific learning needs.

Introduction
Welcome to EDPR4000 Pedagogies and Planning for Numeracy
This unit is the fourth and final unit in the series of mathematics education units. It is a significant unit with a substantial
workload that reflects the level of commitment required for teaching. It also reflects the breadth and depth of knowledge that is
needed for pre-service teachers who are preparing to take responsibility for a class. Part of that responsibility is having a clear
philosophy of teaching and being able to state and defend that philosophy and this unit presents opportunities to do just that.
As such your thinking is likely to be challenged.
The unit addresses topical issues that are regularly aired in the print and electronic media. Such issues are covered here and
include constructivist teaching, direct instruction, explicit teaching, the use of on-line programs, teaching basic number facts, and
teaching with games. Much is also said about how teachers struggle to cover the required curriculum content so there is a focus
on 'big idea thinking' as a way of assisting teachers to plan more effectively. Tutorials will present you with opportunities to
share, discuss and debate ideas.
This unit includes an assessment which requires you to work with a child/children. As such, you will be required to submit the
relevant valid working with children clearance(s) prior to commencing the assessment component which involves working with a
child/children.
Everyone is expected to attend all tutorials and to engage thoughtfully with the activities. You may be required, at times, to
prepare brief papers for discussion and/or to complete pre-reading tasks in preparation for tutorials. The assessments for the
unit are designed to prepare you for the world of teaching beyond your university study and as such, reflect aspects of the roles
of 'real teachers'.

Unit Learning Outcomes

All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine Graduate Attributes 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 attributes which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the
Graduate Attributes 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 Attributes
through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.
Graduate
On successful completion of this unit students can: Attributes
addressed
1 Demonstrate increased personal numeracy skills in mathematical relationships,
expressions, and applications of the content of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics
2 Develop a personal approach for teaching mathematics that demonstrates knowledge
of curriculum and which is based on constructivist teaching and assessment strategies
3 Appraise strategies and resources for differentiating teaching to cater for a wide range
of mathematical learners
4 Critique pedagogies for effective teaching of mathematics

5 Plan for teaching using a range of strategies, technologies and resources

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 Co-ordinators 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.

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.
 
Resubmissions
A student who has received a fail grade (less than 50%) for an assessment, but achieves at least 40% of the
possible mark for an assessment that was submitted by the due date, will be offered the opportunity to resubmit.
Please note that:

l the maximum mark a resubmission can be awarded is 50% of the possible mark (for example, 25/50)
l only one assessment resubmission per unit is possible.
l the resubmitted work must be received by the due date.

Due dates include the standard published due dates, the resubmission due date advised by Unit Co-ordinators,
and any dates negotiated through pre-approved assessment extensions.
 

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/

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.

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:

Nominated School Representative: EducationAssessExt@curtin.edu.au

A link to the Assessment Extension Application Form can also be found in the “Help” folder of your unit’s
Blackboard site. You will need to go to the Student Support Section titled “Essential Forms, Policies and
Processes”.
All assessment extensions are governed by the guidelines contained in the Curtin University Student Assessment
and Progression policy.  Assessment and Student Progression Manual
 
Fair and Accurate Assessment
The assessment in all units is subject to stringent assessment moderation processes, whereby academic staff work
collaboratively to calibrate expectations and review a cross-section of submitted work to remain calibrated and
confer on borderline grade or failing work.  In no circumstances is only one academic staff member involved in
the assessment of student work across a unit.
Any student who genuinely believes that assessed work has been unfairly or inaccurately marked, or that their final
unit grade is inappropriate, 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.

l Step 1 – Initial Request for Review by marker or unit co-ordinator. 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.
l Step 2 – Formal Appeal. If the informal review fails to satisfy the student that their work has been fairly and
accurately assessed, a formal appeal can be lodged on the relevant form and submitted to the Head of
School.  Students will be expected to provide full details of:
¡ Their perceived basis for the appeal – for example, where in their work they believe they have
demonstrated a higher level of attainment
¡ The informal review process that has been engaged in and the outcome of any dialogue with tutors
and Unit Co-ordinators.

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.

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

Further assessment
Further assessments, if granted by the Board of Examiners, will be held between 12/12/2018 and 28/12/2018 .
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.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on

studies
A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a
disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin.  This support can include
alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and
services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au).
 Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating)

Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be
academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in
penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under
investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being
withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This
may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.
Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate
acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or
contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is
subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with
students to determine authorship.
Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any
use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.
From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity
Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at
Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at:
https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm
Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information,
including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations

Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning
systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.
You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.
If you are having technical difficulties submitting your assessment (e.g. via Blackboard/Turnitin) please contact
HUM-EDLTS@curtin.edu.au with your student ID, Unit Code and the details of the assessment you are trying to
submit.
