BACHELOR OF TEACHING IN PRIMARY EDUCATION (880)
The Bachelor of Teaching in Primary Education is a three
year full-time course aimed at developing reflective, professional teachers
who, at graduation, can work effectively in a variety of educational settings
including primary schools in both the public and private sectors. The
course involves both academic studies and practical teaching experiences
in each year. The details relating to practice teaching requirements are
noted in the subject descriptions for Curriculum and Pedagogy I, Curriculum
and Pedagogy II and Curriculum and Pedagogy III.
The academic subjects studied in the course are drawn from
four strands: Education Foundation Studies, Studies in the Key Learning
Areas, Studies in Curriculum and Pedagogy and Elective Studies. Elective
choices are available from both within the Faculty and from the schedules
of subjects offered by other Faculties. Year one of the course requires
students to complete 12 credit points of elective studies outside the
Faculty of Education.
The structure below shows the normal rate of progress through
the course. While it is possible to complete the course on a part-time
basis, students need to be aware that there could be timetable difficulties.
Students intending to attempt the degree part-time should consult with
the Director of Primary Education at enrolment.
