Types & use of sources elaborations in the Australian Curriculum: Science, History & Geography

Here I have created word clouds (in Tagul) of the content elaborations related to the types and use of sources the the subject areas of Science, History and Geography. The visualisation demonstrates the strong sense of disciplinarily and topic areas that are not necessarily evident in the content descriptors alone.

Questioning elaborations in the Australian Curriculum: Science, History & Geography

Here I have created word clouds (in Tagul) of the content elaborations related to posing questions the the subject areas of Science, History and Geography. The visualisation demonstrates the strong sense of disciplinarily and topic areas that are not necessarily evident in the content descriptors alone. The images maybe useful for teachers who are developing an integrated curriculum, as the visualisations help in analysing the similarities and differences between the subject areas in the same year groups. They also illuminate where there is more detail at a particular year level, for instance compare Year 7 History which provides topic examples with Year 9 History which seems more generic in nature.

The generic versus rich description is also seen in a comparison of Year 7 Science, History and Geography. Like this: Like Loading... TES Australia - Log in or Register. February - Celebrate the Australian Year 2015.

A Must See Visual Featuring 27 Ways to Check Your Students Understanding. Checking students comprehension is one of the things we regularly do in our teaching; but are we doing it in an effective (so as not to say right) way ?

A Must See Visual Featuring 27 Ways to Check Your Students Understanding

Students have different learning styles and vary in the way and rate of their understanding. While some grab it from the first attempt others require much more assistance and in both ways figuring out how much understanding is involved sometimes calls for much more efforts than the teaching itself. Therefore one's teaching arsenal should be diversified and enriched with not only good and working teaching strategies but also effective comprehension check methods.

Assessments ( formative, summative,diagnostic..etc ), direct questions, quizzes are some of the common ways to track students understanding but there are also several other ( some are unknown) ways to do it. Mia from An Ethical Island has put up this wonderful visual that features 27 of these ways. National Simultaneous Storytime.
