MABUTU  Biological Science Education Major  

This unit set is available in the following courses:
Y68 BACHELOR OF EDUCATION (SECONDARY)

The biological science units in this program will focus on pedagogy and content that equips graduates to teach general science in lower secondary school and to take a specialist teaching role in biological science courses in upper secondary school (Years 11 and 12). Emphasis is given to inquiry-based practical work, demonstrations, co-operative group work, whole class discussions and use of information communication technology, to ensure effective learning and teaching practices in secondary science. Planning, teaching, and assessment strategies will be developed within a range of science content areas. Units in this program address key biological science understandings and provide the extended content knowledge needed to address the demands and opportunities of the secondary school biological science curriculum.

 

Special Admission Requirements

A satisfactory performance in a course from the Science Learning Area at WACE stages 3A/3B, or equivalent is required.
