This subject has been designed to support graduate student teachers as they extend
their content and pedagogical knowledge through scholarly research into their disciplinary
and professional understandings. Drawing on pedagogical content knowledge developed
in the junior and senior curriculum subjects, a selected secondary teaching area will
be explored more deeply particular attention paid to knowledge that graduate student
teachers may have had limited exposure to, to support them as they develop their capacity
to identify and address areas of (future) disciplinary and pedagogical growth. The
subject will include a critique of the nature and design of pedagogical and conceptual
work to support both (a) an understanding of how to engage in disciplinary and pedagogical
research critically; and (b) the identification of and research into disciplinary
understandings that require ongoing development as they enter the profession. Further,
the subject will explore the epistemology of the selected secondary teaching area,
to support graduate student teachers to develop a richer understanding of what the
content and pedagogical knowledge means for their discipline specific practice.
