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 applies an innovative approach to provide students
with 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.
