In this assessment, I will reflect on the learning materials covered in weeks 1-4; researching, using and evaluating online sources. I will bring together the key things I have learnt during this unit thus far, such as how to ensure the information I am getting is accurate and reliable. My topic of choice is the association between immunisations and autism. I built my knowledge by actively researching the informational and social media websites listed below: Informational websites: http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/autism_spectrum_disorder_and_vaccinations.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy Social Media websites: http://www.babycenter.com/0_vaccines-and-autism-separating-fact-from-fiction_1470554.bc https://www.facebook.com/vaccinationinformationnetwork From researching the websites listed above, I have learnt that there are several conflicting theories about the association between immunisations and autism. Advocacy groups say that a preservative used in vaccines is responsible for the rising rates of autism among children.
support teaching and learning Unit 312 Support numeracy development Outcome 1: Understand current national and organisational frameworks for mathematics 1.1: Explain the aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development is to ensure that all pupils understand that maths is an important part of everyday life, and will continue to be used throughout their life. Maths is taught to children in many different ways, sometimes there can be too much emphasis on the recording of ‘sums’, if this is introduced to children too early it can slow down the pupil’s progress in thinking mathematically. Maths is now taught very differently to when I was in school, because there is more emphasis now in how you arrive at the answer and finding different methods of arriving at the correct answer particularly in the early primary phase. Showing the children different methods of arriving at the answer improves their investigation skills. The mathematics curriculum is intended to give the children a better understanding of numeracy.
