Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

describe the nature and content of science and its technologies in local and global contexts

distinguish how personal values and attitudes influence engagement with science, technologies, sustainability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sciences

articulate accepted scientific conceptions related to key scientific concepts and phenomena studied, and the technological processes science informs, and reflect on personal science learning in relation to developing disciplinary understanding

use the processes of scientific investigation and technological innovation to support critical and creative thinking when considering local and global challenges
