General Information

Overview

In The Arts, students will be introduced to curriculum frameworks and a range of pedagogical approaches for teaching and using the five different discipline areas of the arts in educational contexts. They gain personal practical experience in using the different symbol systems and ways of understanding and representing the world that the Arts provide and build their understanding of how arts practice relates to the formation and expression of social values, beliefs and identity. They evaluate their own experiences and practice throughout the unit to develop understanding of the skills, techniques and classroom strategies appropriate for teaching The Arts in discipline specific, interrelated and integrated ways and to build appreciation for ways in which The Arts provide engaging learning experiences which promote creativity, communication, social and cultural knowledge and innovation.

Assessment Tasks

1 Practical and Written Assessment

Assessment Title
A PERSONAL NARRATIVE: Be(com)ing a teacher of the Arts

Task Description

This task comprises two parts. The first involves developing your own arts learning across all 5 Arts learning areas (Visual Art, Media Arts, Drama, Music and Dance) through a series of Arts Challenges. The second applies your learning from the challenges and unit materials in the development of a personal narrative as a teacher of the Arts.


Part A: ARTS CHALLENGES 30%


Complete all four (4) arts challenges, documenting your process, outcomes and learning in your own blog. Ensure that you have made your blog public to enable sharing.

a. Consider how each challenge could be adapted for implementation in a particular classroom; use your current placement class, or if not presently in a school, consider the last classroom that you experienced.

b. Include Australian Curriculum links (band level, strands – making and responding, content descriptors, opportunities for formative assessment).

c. Each challenge post on your blog should contain:

        • examples of resources;
        • outcomes of praxis;
        • written reflection on and evaluation of the activity as authentic arts learning;
        • reflection on your own learning, developing skills and experiences, extending these through engaging with examples from the world of the arts (each approx. 400 words).

d. FORMATIVE CHECKPOINTS: Team up with 2 – 3 peers from this unit to develop a shared community of practice. Share your group members and blog addresses on the Contacts Wiki.

      • 31/3 post at least 2 supportive & critically reflective comments on peer blogs
      • 19/4 post at least 2 supportive & critically reflective comments on peer blogs


Part B: PERSONAL NARRATIVE Pecha Kucha 20%


Pecha Kucha ("chit chat" in Japanese) – a 20x20 presentation format showing 20 chosen images, each for 20 seconds. In other words, you've got 400 seconds to tell your story, with voice supported by visuals to guide the way.


Apply your learning from PART A to develop a personal narrative about be(com)ing a teacher of the Arts using a Pecha Kucha presentation format.

The narrative must concisely:

  • identify contributions that the Arts make to learning (including the formation and expression of social values, beliefs and identity);
  • include references to relevant academic literature as well as curriculum documents.
  • include supporting evidence drawn from PART A on
    • the nature of arts learning
    • the purposes and learning intent of the arts (reflecting key ideas in the arts rationale)
    • how the four C’s (creativity, critical reflection, communication, collaboration) have been addressed through your own learning.


Assessment Due Date

Week 7 Monday (27 Apr 2020) 11:45 pm AEST

Length: Blog posts approx 400 words each. Pecha Kucha 20 slides x 20 seconds each with embedded audio narrative. This assessment task draws on the following Australian Professional Standards for Teachers: 1.2, 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 3.4, 4.5, 6.2


Return Date to Students

This task involves application of, reflection on, and evaluation of your own arts learning across both the Visual (Visual Arts, Media Arts) and Performing Arts (Dance, Drama, Music) through planning and implementation of an authentic, integrated arts experience.


PART A – INDIVIDUAL

Apply your learning from AT1 by selecting a context/theme as a starting point for integrated Arts learning. The context should be drawn from current professional practice in a school. If not currently in a school, refer to previous placements to select a context for teaching and learning.

You are to:

  • Create an integrated activity sequence, presenting this as a digital resource for teachers. The sequence must communicate how it will be integrated into an actual unit of study encountered on prac, and include:
    • three (3) Arts activities that enhance learning in another learning area/s;
    • a mix of visual and performing arts;
    • links to a specific band of the Arts Curriculum;
    • links to other curriculum learning areas
    • relevant resources for teaching and learning;
    • justification of the activities as authentic arts learning.

GROUPS (of 2 to 3) – campus

Select one learning sequence, or a related combination of activities, from the group members’ planning for Part A. Workshop how the activities could be effectively implemented in a collaborative teaching context. Implement the reworked sequence as a group with children, where possible with a school class.

    • Minimum teaching time: 10 minutes per individual
    • Reflect on the effectiveness of teaching and learning that occurred, collecting supporting evidence (student samples, photographs – with consent)

* Where the implementation is not attended by a CQU supervisor, students must have a mentor teacher or responsible adult verify that the session was delivered and be willing to provide brief written feedback on the provided template.


2. Complete an individual written reflection and evaluation of learning, collaborative planning and implementation.

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the selected arts strategies used in the presentation;
  • reflect on your personal arts learning as a result of the planning and implementation aspects of this task;
  • and identify the professional understandings you have developed throughout this Arts unit, with reference to appropriate literature.

Academic Integrity Statement

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.

Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.

When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.

Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.

As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.

What is a breach of academic integrity?

A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.

Why is academic integrity important?

A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.

Where can I get assistance?

For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.

What can you do to act with integrity?
