My major is finance, but I still learned a lot about education knowledge from this course. The part I am most interested in is the religious part. Because it involves racial discrimination. Parents and teachers play an important role in this issue. Children must understand that every religious belief and race should be respected. Only in this way can people respect each other, and there will be no more wars on the earth. I think that children’s education is the only effective way to achieve world peace.

This course helped me to understand some complex social dynamics and challenged me to think critically and creatively about how these dimensions shape and colour the experience of different students. A single idea from each week or topic can interact with exponential complexity. Even in topics where the materials took a stance on facts or values that I disagreed with, they all stem from a place of refining and experimenting any and every aspect of our profession to make it more humane, just and effective. I thought discussion on class and socio-economic modes of learning, especially in the context of the debate over public vs private learning, the most challenging and have frequently thought about it outside of study hours.

In EDUF2007, I really learnt so many knowledges about different sociological issues in education that I had never think about. Especially like religion and education, race and racism in education, gender difference in education...These had made me realize that a teacher should sometimes take care more in students' background.

I really enjoyed looking deeply into sociological issues that can be experienced as a future educator . I think it is very important that we acknowledge this to cater to the diverse needs of all students . This awareness and knowledge will create a safe environment for all students . I have learnt that sometimes a teacher is the only support a child may have due to this background. My perspectives have been challenged immensely as the world is rapidly changing. It is interesting to see how different it is just from a couple of years ago when I was in high school .

Learn more on sexuality and gender as this topic is not easy to discuss in Asia. The policy analysis is interesting as education policy at country level is another important point that teachers ought to think about and we cannot ignore that. Race and racism often happened in school and it can affect the teaching approach in classroom. In Australia, it is important to understand how it happens and how we can respond, as here is a country with multi-cultures. Enjoyed the lessons of EDUF2007!

In EDUF2007, I was given insights into the factors that contribute to variability in education and this allowed me to reflect on how these factors may have influenced by schooling in the past. I think that some ideas were not as prominent as others  which made me reflect on myself as a future educator. This made me wonder how I can inform my students about more about this so that they become more aware about social aspects that may influence their education. I believe that there should be a good balance between content learning and learning about the world around us

In this course, I learned a lot about different countries’ culture background and how different perspectives , experiences and chances have influenced the expectations of the education.And the challenge ideas are different abilities. I really like teaching students and in the future I will pay more attention in teaching and understand some new ways to teach students.

This course made me realise how crucial it is for teachers to be constantly reflecting on their own bias' in regards to the subjects that we've talked about in this course. It is also important for teachers to remain aware of the hidden curriculum and to avoid implicitly and unintentionally segregating students based on their race, sexuality, upbringing or cultural views. Lastly, this course has reminded me of the significant impact teaching has on the development and growth  of children, and how supporting and forming positive relationships with students is integral for their learning and growing as individuals.

I studied a lot in this subject, the education policies in Australia and understand there were many unfair treats in the past. People improved them constantly.
Also, many aspects of teachers influence the students, the way they treat students, their own opinion, their attitudes and the way of teaching. I need to control my words and deeds. In the future, i will pay more attention on these, provide a fair and friendly education environment to my students.

I learned a lot in this course, and the one that impressed me the most was how to distinguish gender from sex. What still doesn't understand is the different ways of expressing religion.

One of the most interesting thing about this course is it explores many of the different sociological aspects (as is natural in its rationale) that compose the students and people that we interact with. In deepening our understanding of the world in this more meaningful and complex way we can create a safe and supportive environment for our diverse range of students through a culturally responsive pedagogy

through this unit, i was able to have a deeper understanding of how teachers' actions play a significant role on the students and in doing so, we must ensure that we are cautious with our lesson plans in order for students to not feel excluded because of their cultural background or religion. thus, respect is an important feature that should be taught in the classroom and students should be aware as they communicate with each other and learn from each other.

EDUF2007 has taught me a lot about the importance of critically reflecting on sociological issues in education. In particular, it has made me realise that there are various factors that may contribute or determine the success and achievements of students and that as teachers, we need to be more aware of these inequalities in the classroom.

I really enjoyed looking at the sociological side to education as it really allowed to me reflect on my own educational experiences and consider what I want my own teaching practice to look like. I particularly enjoyed the ideas about culturally responsive pedagogy, privilege, and funds of knowledge that students bring to the classroom. Really caused me to consider how we really do education, and whether the paths to success are really as straightforward as I had once assumed, causing me to really reflect on how I can better support students in ways that help their learning instead of hinder.

1. the intersectionality across various contexts and aspects that shape education and a students' experiences of education.
2. self awareness is a critical skill for teachers to constantly practice and develop, to ensure prejudices, biases or assumptions do not hinder or favour specific students.
3. policies often implicitly carry and communicate the dominant voices and beliefs of the society in which it is created

This subject has allowed me to realise the extent in which an individuals social location and status can greatly impact their education and the support needed. Hence, all students will have different experiences and we must support all individuals in the classroom.

In EDUF2007, the most important thing I have learnt is that it is crucial as teachers to ensure students feel supported and included in the classroom (ie. implementing particular support structures/practices that target the diverse needs of students of all backgrounds and identities).

I found the ideas about Australia's meritocracy really interesting, particularly in how it doesn't account for intersections of inequality. I also found the ideas of how schools discipline and enforce certain norms particularly around gender, really interesting. The week's topic on religion in schools was also really enlightening and challenged my own views, so that now I appreciate that religion isn't always about control but can also foster understanding amongst diverse peers.

In this course, I learnt so much about how different perspectives, experiences and opportunities have influenced the expectations of education from different individuals. As a result, I have learnt to be an accepting teaching of all perspectives and experiences, contributing to an accepting and inclusive classroom that is welcoming to all students.
