Create a Video and power point for your ePortfolio titled Critical Reflection: Foundations for Specialist Arts Educators.

Guidance for setting up your ePortfolio is available from the link on the learnonline site. 

Please note that original images of people may only be used if they have signed a UniSA talent release form, which can be located on the course Learnonline site. No images of children or young people under 18 may be included. All other sources need to be referenced. 

The Foundations for Specialist Arts Educators video for your ePortfolio will provide a place for you to create a coherent multi-modal critical reflection that documents your initial learning about arts education in this course. The video should be approximately 7minutes. The title in your ePortfolio should be as follows:

E:Portfolio Video: Assignment 1

For your design, creation and production of the multi-modal critical reflection you will need to consider the visual, aural and linguistic affordances of the ePortfolio.  (*equivalent: this means that the multi-modal assignment should not exceed 2250 words). Your ePortfolio will communicate the above specifications through a balanced range of modes such as the written word, visual content (for example photography/video/graphics/animation), and sound (for example your voice/others’ voices/music/sound effects).

CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT (each section weighted 25%).

The ePortfolio will demonstrate evidence of:

a) Understanding of the arts learning area:
An overview of the core elements and practices of one of the arts subjects of your choice.

b) Examination of arts pedagogy:
Outline of the distinctive features of arts education, discussed generally and also in relation to the specific curriculum documents used in Australia.

c) Reflection on your background:
Inclusion of the 'funds of knowledge' you bring to becoming a generalist arts educator including consideration of your values, attitudes, interests, skills and knowledge.

d) References to reading and course experiences:
Insight into arts education with references to course readings, wider literature, relevant curriculum documents (included in the reference list at the end of the power point).
