Section 2: Course and assessment overview
Recreation is a four-semester course of study. Semesters 1 and 2 of the course are designed to allow students to
begin their engagement with the course content, i.e. the knowledge, understandings and skills of the subject.
Course content, learning experiences and assessment increase in complexity across the four semesters as
students develop greater independence as learners. Semesters 3 and 4 consolidate their learning.
The study area core underpins this SAS and is described through concepts and ideas and associated knowledge,
understanding and skills. The electives provide contexts through which students build on underpinning core
concepts and ideas.
Refer to the study plan requirements — available at www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/30486-sp.html
Fill in the columns as per the following:

units of work — unit title and outline of concepts and ideas

approximate time (Section 3.2 of the syllabus)

course organisation

assessment description — identify the technique and describe the conditions of assessment, e.g. access to
resources, supervised/unsupervised (Section 4.4 of the syllabus).
14948

indicate the integration of core and electives (Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 of the syllabus)
For a composite arrangement
The Recreation syllabus enables teachers to develop a course that caters for combined Year 11
and Year 12 classes. The syllabus can support teaching and learning for composite classes by
enabling teachers to:
 structure learning experiences and assessment to allow students to access the core topics
and ideas suited to their needs in each year level
 provide opportunities for multilevel group work, peer teaching and independent work.
Learning experiences and assessment need to cater for both year levels throughout the course.
Even though tasks may be similar for both year levels, Year 12 tasks are more complex, have
different conditions according to the syllabus or are extended tasks, demonstrating greater depth
of the core.
The following may prove helpful in designing a course of study for a composite class:
 the course of study could be written in a Cycle A/Cycle B format, if the school intends to teach
the same topics to both cohorts
 topics that will allow Year 11 students ease of entry into the course should be scheduled in the
beginning of the year.
