Human Society: Understanding Diversity - ECH230

In this unit, students explore the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the New South Wales human society and its environment (HSIE) syllabus document. This unit is designed to raise awareness of issues around human diversity, and the professional and pedagogical implications of concepts such as social justice, environmental sustainability and civic participation in personal, local and global contexts. The unit also encourages students to engage with alternative pedagogical approaches to the study of HSIE, with a view to promoting the use of integrated, inquiry-based methods in planning and implementing units of study.
