Handbook 1997 : Faculty of Education : Education
Education subjects involve a sequential development of understanding and competence in the role, knowledge and skills of the beginning teacher and are taken concurrently with discipline subjects.
Education subjects are compulsory. They are normally taken as a sequence of studies over three years. You are required to complete at least 116.7 points of Education subjects.
The themes for each year are:
Year 2: Young People, Teachers and Schools.
Year 3: Learning and Teaching.
Year 4: Curriculum, Schooling and Society.
Note: These subjects comprise a new sequence beginning in 1993. Students who enrolled in the above courses before 1993 should refer to a 1992 Handbook Volume 4 and discuss their enrolment in Education subjects with a student adviser.
Education B2 and Education Studies C are available in 1997 for repeating students.
Education subjects at third year level build on work done in Education B and comprise three components focusing on Learning and Teaching: Education Studies; Teaching Methods; and School Experience. These components combine to form an integral preparation for the practising teacher and as such all components must be studied concurrently in one academic year with students satisfying each item of assessment in all subjects.
You will select two C-level Methods from those offered. These Methods are closely linked with those offered at the fourth year level. In selecting C-level Methods you should realise that fourth year selection of Methods will be based on your 3rd year choices. You should contact the Faculty Office for subject details.
Education subjects at fourth year level are the last in a three-year sequence and enable the prospective teacher to develop and refine the practical and theoretical studies undertaken in second and third years. They are designed to enable intending secondary teachers to assume the responsibilities of professional practice in a school community.
D-Level Education comprises three major components: Education Studies; Teaching Methods; and School Experience. All of these components combine to form an integral preparation for the practising teacher and as such all components must be studied concurrently in one academic year with students satisfying each item of assessment in all subjects.
Note: BEd (Secondary) students will select two D-level Teaching Methods from those offered. BEd (Visual Arts) students will select the Teaching Method in Visual Arts. D-level Methods follow directly from those studied by students at the third year or C-level. Most D-level Methods require as a prerequisite the study of that Teaching Method at the C-level. Refer to subject descriptions for individual Method prerequisites.
Credit points: 5.6 points for each Teaching Method.
Pre- and co-requisites: Satisfactory completion of Education Studies C, School Experience C and a minimum of 250 points credit in the course. Concurrent enrolment in Education Studies D and School Experience D12.
Contact: 1.5 hours of class contact each week or its equivalent for each Teaching Method. (Double semester.)
Objectives: On completion of this subject students should be able to:
demonstrate an understanding of the curriculum of the particular areas of learning of each student's two Teaching Methods; and
demonstrate the ability to design, teach and evaluate extended and coherent units of work in the particular areas of learning, which cater for the diverse characteristics, backgrounds and needs of secondary students.
Content: Teaching Methods D focus on the development of curriculum in the particular areas of learning and on strengthening the knowledge of learning and teaching developed in Education B, Education Studies C and Teaching Methods C.
Assessment: Submissions totalling 2000 words for each Teaching Method.
