Teaching and Learning in Aboriginal Education Subject Notes

Description

I received a high distinction for this subject and my overall graduating GPA is This document contains all of my personal notes for this course, including detailed notes from the required readings. Endless hours of study are condensed in just over 44 pages. My personal style when taking notes from readings is to begin with the title and then record any important facts/information underneath usually in dot points. Most of the time I would also reference at the end of the dot point what page number that information was found on which is particularly useful during assessment times when referencing or if you need to locate that information again in the reading. Often direct quotes have been recorded, avoiding the need to refer back to the actual reading. The topics covered are: Week 1: Representation, Ethics and Teacher Education Week 2: Aboriginal Cultures and Knowledge Week 3: Aboriginal Histories Week 4: History of Aboriginal Education Week 5: Contemporary Aboriginal Issues and Education Week 6: Education and reconciliation Week 7: Education and reconciliation Week 8: teaching Aboriginal studies The readings summarised include: Langton, M. 1993.
