- Reflect on learning to propose personal and/or collective action in response to an issue or challenge, and predict the probable
effects (ACHASSI104)
- Present ideas, findings, viewpoints and conclusions in a range of texts and modes that incorporate source materials, digital and non-digital
representations and discipline-specific terms and conventions (ACHASSI105)
ACHIEVEMENT STANDARD
By the end of Year 5, students describe the significance of people and events/developments in bringing about change. They identify the causes and effects of
change on particular communities and describe aspects of the past that have remained the same. They describe the experiences of different people in the past.
Students explain the characteristics of places in different locations at local to national scales. They identify and describe the interconnections between people
and the human and environmental characteristics of places, and between components of environments. They identify the effects of these interconnections on
the characteristics of places and environments.
Students develop questions for an investigation. They locate and collect data and information from a range of sources to answer inquiry questions. They
examine sources to determine their purpose and to identify different viewpoints. They interpret data to identify and describe distributions, simple patterns and
trends, and to infer relationships, and suggest conclusions based on evidence. Students sequence information about events, the lives of individuals and selected
phenomena in chronological order using timelines. They sort, record and represent data in different formats, including large-scale and small-scale maps, using
basic conventions. They work with others to generate alternative responses to an issue or challenge and reflect on their learning to independently propose
action, describing the possible effects of their proposed action. They present their ideas, findings and conclusions in a range of communication forms using
discipline-specific terms and appropriate conventions. (ACARA, 2021).

Pedagogy
This unit is designed under a constructivist pedagogy, having a student-centred approach to learning. A constructivist pedagogy follows three key
principles: learners are active participants in their learning, learners are self-regulated and social interaction is necessary for effective learning
(Duchesne & McMaugh, 2019). This pedagogy is evident throughout the unit as learning is focused on a student-centred approach with students
inquiring into different significant events in Australia’s history. Students work towards becoming self-regulated learners, constructing and
monitoring their own learning through their KWL chart and Inquiry Planning Booklets (Duchesne & McMaugh, 2019). Opportunity is provided
through reflection of learning for them to engage with metacognition, thinking about their own thinking and learning, facilitating self-regulation
(Duchesne & McMaugh, 2019). Social interaction with peers and teachers is acknowledged by both Piaget and Vygotsky as being significant in
cognitive development (Duchesne & McMaugh, 2019). Throughout the unit students will work collaboratively as a class and in small groups to
assist each other in there learning and developing their Primary Years Program (PYP) skills.
Inquiry Approach
A constructivist pedagogy is further supported throughout the unit through inquiry learning. Inquiry learning promotes students-directed learning
as students construct their own knowledge (Reynolds, 2018). Through inquiry learning students begin to understand the world they live in,
looking at the way it is constructed (Reynolds, 2018). The teacher works with the students to develop learning together, supporting student
directed learning (Reynolds, 2018). This is evident throughout the unit as the teacher models the inquiry process to the students, introducing them
to different approaches to research, recording notes, including different perspectives and presenting. The teacher guides students through a series
of activities linking what they already know to further inquiry (Reynolds, 2018). The inquiry assignment follows an inquiry sequence as students
frame and focus questions, locate, organise and analyse information through research as well as evaluate, synthesise and report through their
presentations (Reynolds, 2018). In the final lesson there is also a discussion on informed action as well as a reflection on the inquiry process
(Reynolds, 2018).
