TEACHING PROPOSAL
The benefits of using inquiry within the curriculum encourages students to engage with the content by having more choice as to what they study within the
unit. The inquiry pedagogy allows students to research and discover things of personal relevance and significance, thus creating more interest in the unit of
work. Hoepper (2014a, p.48) concurs that Inquiry gives students a role in addressing their own learning in planning, carrying out investigations and
provides many opportunities for them to reflect on their own personal beliefs, opinions and values relating to the topic. The integration of inquiry within
the history curriculum supports student independence and group collaboration and assists students to develop their capacity for self-management.
(2014a).
By the end of this unit, students have inquired and understood their own personal family histories, the history of Australia and its settlement, and the
reasons why people immigrate to Australia as well as exploring the history of Indigenous Australians. The inquiry focus statement is important in regards to
the current curriculum as history provides students with an understanding of the world around them. The teaching of history in the Victorian Curriculum
promotes the understanding of societies, events, movements and developments that have shaped humanity over time, (Hoepper 2014b). This assists
students understanding of the continuity and change that has occurred in Australia over time. This furthermore encourages students to develop personal
opinions related to values, and perspectives on current issues (VCAA 2017).
A key learning component integrated within the Victorian History curriculum is the understanding of Indigenous history and its importance to Australia as a
nation. Teaching students about Indigenous histories links directly to the history of European settlement and develops students understanding of the
effects of this on past and present Indigenous Australians within our country. Promoting students awareness of the identities and characteristics that
Indigenous Australians have contributed towards shaping present and future Australia is a significant point within the curriculum (Preston, L). It is important
2
EEO410 Assessment 2 Tori Mason & Stacey McLaren
for students to be mindful of the moments that have shaped the country and consider how these communities are developing and what this means for
Australia as a nation. The aptitude for students to understand their own personal family history, encourages interest in inquiring about their own personal
life and thus ignites their interest to inquire in future lessons of this unit.
The focus statement for this unit summarises the vast range of Victorian curriculum standards that are met throughout this unit. Students will develop
historical concepts and skills such as chronology through the creation of a timeline; use historical sources as evidence by discussing and analysing
Indigenous perspectives; analysis of the continuity and change cause from European settlement; understanding the cause and effect from European
settlement and exploration through independent and group research; and learning about the historical significance of Australian celebrations, symbols and
emblems through creation of a flag and national celebration day (VCAA 2017).
It furthermore addresses the historical knowledge required for Level 4 students through learning about community, remembrance and celebrations
(dreamtime stories), Australian celebrations, commemorations and national days, and the contributions that multiculturalism has made to Australia; as well
as discussing first contacts in Australia through understanding the significance of the land to Indigenous Australians, and stories of the First Fleet and
journeys of explorers to Australia (VCAA 2017).
This unit of inquiry reflects The Melbourne Declaration on the Educational Goals for Young Australians throughout its content, tasks, and assessments for
students. The goals that the Declaration discusses are: students should be successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed
citizens (MCEETYA p.7). Through learning about the history of Australia, students become active and informed citizens through their knowledge of their
country. The tasks devised for this unit explores students creativity and encourages their confidence through researching and presenting their own work.
The formative and summative assessment tasks throughout this unit reflect the curriculum, and draw on a combination of the professional judgment of
teachers (MCEETYA p.16), thus ensuring the successful learning of students.
