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.

It is possible for students to participate in an innovative approach
to teacher training, the KBC - Mentor Program. Students who participate
in the KBC - Mentor Program complete the requirements of the Bachelor
of Teaching in Primary Education by engaging in collaborative problem
solving under the guidelines of mentoring lecturers who have expertise
in "Problem-Based Learning". Students requiring information
concerning the KBC should consult with the Director of Primary Education.
