This course prepares pre-service teachers to teach Digital Technologies in the secondary school. Pre-service teachers will be provided with opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of relevant curriculum documents. The course will engage pre-service teachers in analysis of recent disciplinary developments in scholarship and professional practice in the teaching of Digital Technologies. They will be provided with opportunities to develop the appropriate knowledge and teaching strategies to effectively deal with literacy and numeracy demands and learning opportunities that exist in Digital Technologies. Pre-service teachers will demonstrate the ability to (i) design, implement and evaluate learning and teaching sequences and discipline specific assessment tasks that draw on curriculum, assessment, reporting, and ICT knowledge; and (ii) identify and design discipline specific opportunities for professional engagement and communication within the school context, teaching networks and the broader community.


For Semester 1, 2025, the mid-semester break for this course will be relocated to university week 8. In Semester 2, this course commences 1 week before standard Semester 2 classes. 

Digital Technologies: Curriculum Studies provides vital training for pre-service teachers, equipping them with innovative and creative strategies to enhance secondary students' skills in digital technologies. This course prepares educators to deliver engaging and effective learning experiences, addressing key areas of the Australian Curriculum: Technologies and Digital Technologies for junior secondary students, while fostering a critical understanding of Digital Solutions for Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority - senior secondary education. This discipline's development will guide professional practice across three levels: collaboration with peers, planning and designing teaching and learning sequences (including assessment), and contributing professionally within a school community context.

Aims and outcomes

This course aims to enhance students' knowledge of, skills with, and appreciation for the nature of digital technologies, in the contexts of the Digital Solutions General Senior Syllabus (2019) and the Australian Curriculum: Technologies subject area - Digital Technologies. An appreciation for the ways in which the principles of both curricula underpin literacy and numeracy development for students, as well as 21st century skills, will be developed. New understandings will then be extended to the secondary classroom context, where pedagogical decisions about what, when and how to effectively teach, assess, and reflect upon the content articulated in the Digital Senior Syllabus and the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies will be made. Reflection on this process will assist with addressing professional development needs in a secondary school community context.

After successfully completing this course you should be able to:

LO1.

Demonstrate understanding of relevant content and analysis of recent disciplinary developments in scholarship and professional practice in the teaching of Digital Technologies.

Task description

Planning is an essential part of your teaching pedagogy. Good planning ensures that the learning intents of the syllabus are delivered effectively, and the learning sequences enable the appropriate information to be delivered at the right time in the students learning. To ensure that learning is effective and efficient, assessment tasks must be matched to the specific learning needs of the students and meet the requirements of the instrument-specific marking guides.

The Task

You are to individually create a 25-lesson unit of work based on the senior Digital Solutions curriculum.

Your submission needs to include the following:

  1. Provide a unit overview in a detailed grid format (see the template on Blackboard) which outlines:
  2. Describe and justify the teaching strategies/approaches to be used - academic references refer to relevant learning theory.

Additional course grading information

DETERMINING FINAL GRADESᅠ

The final grades are determined by consideration of the weighting of individual assessment items, through the use of weighting formula and the profile of individual grades across accumulated assessment tasks. Please note that the weighting of an assignment refers to the relative significance of the assignment within the assessment program, not to a number for a grade. The use of these multiple sources of information means that your final grade relates to a position within a grade band and not to a percentage.

Please find an example below of how grades are calculated for this course:

All three assignments in this course will be provided a grade out of 7. The final grade will be calculated using the weighting and the individual assignment grades as follows.

Student A

  • Assignment 1 (Micro teaching demonstrationᅠ- 20%), received a 6 = 6 x 0.20
  • Assignment 2 (Learning and teaching sequence and assessment task - 50%), received a 5 = 5 x 0.50
  • Assignment 3 (Professional engagement and communication taskᅠ- 30%), received a 6 = 6 x 0.30

So... A1 (1.2) + A2 (2.5) + A3 (1.8) = 5.5ᅠ

The final grade would be rounded up to the nearest whole number; in this case the grade would be 6.

In the case where the final grade is 0.5 or above, the grade will be rounded up to the nearest whole number (e.g. 5.5 would become 6). In the case where the final grade is 0.49 or below, the grade will be rounded down to the nearest whole number (e.g. 6.49 would become 6).”

Supplementary assessment

Supplementary assessment is available for this course.

Additional assessment information

The following applies to all assessments in this course:

Marking criteria and/or marking rubrics are available in the 'Assessment' folder in Blackboard for this course.

Release of assessment item marks and feedback

In addition to the grade awarded, feedback will be provided in a timely manner to enable students to apply the feedback to further tasks within the course or program and/or plan for supplementary assessment, requests for re-mark, or re-enrolment. However, as per UQ Policy and Procedures Library under the Assessment Policy, results for the final assessment item are to be released only after the final grade for the course has been released. Time frames for applications for assessment re-mark are indicated under the Assessment Procedure.

Re-mark policy

After each assessable item, students will be given the opportunity to view their assessment and so satisfy themselves that a marking or administrative error has not occurred. The formal process of querying a course result (requesting a remark on academic grounds) is set out in the UQ Policy and Procedures Library under the Assessment Procedure

Use of AI/MT to support or inform assessment

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Translation (MT) are emerging tools that may support students in completing this assessment task. Students may appropriately use AI and/or MT in completing this assessment task. A definition of appropriate use will be outlined in each assessment task. Students must reference any use of AI or MT in each instance.

A failure to reference generative AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Learning resources

You'll need the following resources to successfully complete the course. We've indicated below if you need a personal copy of the reading materials or your own item.
