For this assessment you will need to:

Critique a range of historical and contemporary educational philosophies, ideologies, and theories, and reflect on their positive and negative aspects in terms of educational pedagogy.

For instance, critiquing 3 different topics- Idealism, Conservatism and Critical theory and their impact on educational pedagogy (think in terms of curriculum, assessments, the roles of teacher and the role of a learner) followed by an analysis of these topics to Australian government policy (think in terms of government policies related to education).

Justify your personal beliefs regarding educational ideologies, philosophies, and theories based on current educational research.

Try to interweave this throughout the first two points, i.e. critique, reflect and analyse with regards to your own personal beliefs which are supported by current educational research.

Your assessment should show evidence that you have read widely on the topic beyond the supplied readings and texts.

Your assessment must use correct referencing, in APA 7th Ed.
