THE PROGRAM The Bachelor of Education is vocationally directed and applied in emphasis. The study of teaching, curriculum applications and teaching practice are central themes in these courses.
The following courses are offered:
Bachelor of Education - a four year full-time course for those preparing to teach in the primary stream. Available as a pass degree.
TYPES OF UNITS Education Studies Studies in the theory of education, teaching studies and practice, and in specialised fields of education such as special education, teaching and learning and aboriginal education. Education studies may consist of compulsory or elective units.
Curriculum Studies Study of syllabuses and related teaching methods in the curricula of early childhood and child care centres, primary schools, secondary schools and technical colleges. Curriculum studies may consist of compulsory units, elective units and specialisation pathway units.
General Studies Units/Elective Units General studies units constitute background content to curriculum areas of study or constitute studies aimed at developing the general education of students. Elective units in the fourth year permit students to select areas of teaching for study in depth.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE The Bachelor of Education (Primary) course requires students to spend substantial periods of time teaching in schools/centres as part of a coordinated program of practice teaching.
Because of its responsibility for the education, safety and well being of children in schools and centres, the teaching profession demands the highest professional standards and personal ethics of practitioners.
Please refer to Professional Practice Information, Procedures and Rules (Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary and Special Education) at the end of the Education section for further details on professional practices in these courses.
