Bachelor of Science Education (887)
The Bachelor of Science Education course is directed
towards providing pre-service educational training for teachers.
The degree focuses on developing secondary school teachers as critical
reflective practitioners with a sound basis of practical teaching
skills. In addition, this degree also develops scientific concepts
in a broad range of areas to provide a full Science major in a specialisation
of their choice that can be applied in other community settings.
The degree is an innovative approach in providing students both
the scientific knowledge/training and the teaching/educational training
in an integrated fashion.
Students accepted into the program will study the
following areas:
- Educational Foundation Studies
- Curriculum & Pedagogy
- Discipline Studies in Science
- Teaching & Learning in Science
The degree is structured to allow the integration of university
and classroom throughout the course. Degree delivery includes lectures,
tutorials, seminars and school-based workshops using alternative
modes of delivery.
