Future Focussed Education: Science, Technology, Digital Literacy

Description

This course for pre-service teachers is designed to develop a rationale, philosophy and pedagogy of teaching Science, Technology and Digital Literacy/citizenship in the New Zealand. Through the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes pre-service teachers will be better informed to successfully plan, resource, implement, assess and evaluate these learning areas.
