Authentic Learning Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Year 10 Commerce students were immersed in an inquiry based activity on how Australians vote. This activity demonstratively answered students’ inquiry questions of the Australian Optional and Preferential Voting system. Students worked in teams to create a single issue political party, presented their political party views to the class, while also using negotiation skills to arrange preferences with other groups. This Inquiry learning activity was a \u2018light bulb\u2019 moment for many students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Counting the votes I discovered how an absolute majority influences who is elected. This was a fun learning experience as we got to understand how an election works.<\/p>\nMiela Ocello<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n A class election was super fun and allowed me to see what it’s really like to vote.

In our contemporary political landscape this is a valid student question. In Year 10 Commerce, students have participated in an inquiry based voting activity to better understand the purpose and learn the process of voting. I would like to thank Ms Cummins for her creative and engaging Commerce teaching […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[4],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-7537","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","article_category-secondary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/7537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=7537"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=7537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
