Whilst searching for a list of the Key Competencies and their descriptions, I came across the “CARisma” teaching resource released by Transport SA.
From the CARisma site:
CARisma is a teaching and learning resource that explores the status of the car in our society, Your students will learn about:
- how the car has become such a focal point in our culture
- the impact of the car on our culture and environment
- active travel and alternative transport modes to the car.
CARisma has been designed for years 6 - 10 in South Australian schooling and its content is linked with the current curriculum. CARisma Investigations are based on Constructivist Theory and use a range of pedagogical concepts and teaching tools:
- for teachers to use in planning and teaching a unit of research about the car in our society
- for students to independently navigate, research and complete some Investigations
Go take a look at the CARisma site, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
