In this subject, preservice teachers develop knowledge and skills related to critical and creative thinking and practice in primary or secondary settings. Preservice teachers develop abilities to effectively engage in critical and creative thinking and practice across personal, societal and curriculum contexts. The concepts of critical and creative thinking and practice are examined through the Arts, the Humanities Health and Physical Education, English and Mathematics, thereby providing preservice teachers with the opportunity to generate knowledge and understanding of creating and embedding integrated learning experiences into their teaching and learning practices.
The aim of this unit is to enable preservice teachers to come to know the nature of critical and creative thinking and practice, and to apply critical and creative thinking and practice in their personal and professional lives.
