This assignment requires you to individually research and report on a current issue affecting children’s learning and development in Australian primary schools. This assignment will give you an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the contemporary issues and societal influences affecting children’s development, as well as to reflect on how these issues may impact your teaching practice.
Research and report on a current issue that affects children’s learning and development in Australian education settings. Choose from 1 of the 3 below:
• Gender inequity – sexuality
• Social media – bullying
• The healthy child – hurried childhood.
You should also use relevant research literature to discuss the context and impact of the current issue; refer to inclusive education policies to support how educators could deal with this issue—recommendations.
To support the contemporary construct of the competent and capable child, you should frame your report around relevant child development theories and/or models (for example, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory). Choose two to three theories as to the base and theoretical lens/theoretical approach in which to discuss the issue and your findings.
