It'll be interesting if someone says what the all new subjects correspond to in the NSW curricula.

Eg: Specialist maths -> 3U and a bit of 4U

ive already said that.

english is condensed, maths is expanded, history is the same, science is the same.

 

[Existential]

Oh. I see.

I wonder if the rediculous scaling of 4U maths would exist in "era of educational renewal"

well for starters it's called "Specialist Mathematics" and its looks like a majority of 3U.

 

[Existential]

Oh I meant for other subjects not just math.

i gave you the other subjects. the only ones being replaced in the next couple of years are english, maths, science, history.

there are more to come though.

just wondering whether im affected by the shit curriculum if i graduate in 2012

 

[arcticdbk]

ew, worst curriculum ever.

 

[ohexploitable]

What. The. Fuck.

well for starters it's called "Specialist Mathematics" and its looks like a majority of 3U.

Looks like they will be including complex numbers, easy conics, mechanics, harder integration, vectors and graphing from the 4U course as well as adding matrices and statistics. So they're keeping a fair chunk of 4U.

Far out, all I can say is, thank heavens I'm graduating this year!!! I have always been supportive of a national curriculum, but on the basis that it very closely mimicked NSW's!!!

And how is it totally 'national' if it only covers some subjects? Or each state/territory has it's own education department?

Far out, government, get it right. If you want national, do it freaking national...not half-half!

Look here for more details on the Maths syllabus:

Obviously towards the last few pages.

And this new system is shit.

 

[musing]

Sucks to be them.

 

[57o1i]

Really not keen on any of it. The Modern syllabus seems to be adding more compulsory Australian history as well ://.

 

[hscishard]

NO. Thank goodness lol.

It will be implemented between 2011-13, the earliest it would be with would be the class of 2012.

Wooohoooo!

Sucked in bitches.

Jeez. There isn't even a big change...just the maths and english.

you checked?

i heard many saying otherwise. i think that "harder 3U" is out.

i couldn't agree more. there should be a FULL national curriculum, with a national board of studies, and a national HSC.

but no, their keeping the states in charge for now...

Jeez. There isn't even a big change...just the maths and english.

MATHS is the core issue here. many professional mathematicians disagree with the curriculum proposed.

I hate this >_<

where's politics?
where are the creative arts? music? drama? visual arts?
where's legal studies and economics?
languages anyone? Chinese? Indonesian? Japanese?

and maths is becoming easier? WTF :/

then that means more potential university science and engineering candidates are going to be disadvantaged at uni at some extent....

but i hope this doesn't get implemented in the first place....

well all i've heard from the opposition is that they will change the "focus" ie. get rid of the ATSI + Asia stuff.

 

[octopie]

Sucks to be them.

Mhmmmm

 

[hscishard]

How can maths possibly be easier if they're including some 4u in a similar 3u course.
