FINALLY!
Queensland has had a massive curriculum reform and they are finally offering Psychology at high school level which multiple Australian states have had for years!
The course itself if you haven't seen it can be accessed through the QCAA site:
https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/downloads/portal/syllabuses/snr_psychology_19_syll.pdf
It is a combination of VCE Psychology and IB Psychology with some elements from the A Levels and GCSE courses.
I think the course has a nice range of topics available that are relevant to students and also fun to teach. Having taught psychology over two syllabuses (VCE and IB) and working on the syllabus for psychology with the QCAA, I understand the content well but the teaching not as much. I'm still very apprehensive about how to teach this as a 50% exam Science subject in QLD. Anyone else?
I'm currently teaching a semester based elective subject in psychology, any feedback, input or interest in discussing psychology as part of the QCAA would be greatly appreciated!
Please comment below, would love to start the conversation early so we can all be ready next year for the start of Psychology syllabus.
