Standards mini viewings are as followed: Example One: How Indigenous student learning is understood and engaging them by integrating curriculum through Aboriginal perspectives. “Good teaching often works in different ways for Indigenous and non-indigenous students” (Harrison & Sellwood, 2016, p. 71). For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, learning is a practical trial and error process. These Indigenous students favour this type of learning whilst demonstrating stimulating…

effective pedagogy.

Similarly, an unseen disability can make a student feel like that fish in that the student is often asked to perform tasks in such a way that is not within their ability. Unquestionably, a physical impairment is obvious and noticeable, while an unseen…

Power is present in all interactions and can be used to explain contests between various key players, like the government, teachers and students. In the case of “Australia education fails, one in four young people-but not the wealthy ones”, Foucault’s view that power which is exercised as a power relation is useful to understand in this context.

On this stage, lecturers had face-to-face discussions with the trainer…
