The part-time course
Course GED0005 offers subjects in late afternoon classes. This afternoon course is intended to serve the needs of the part-time student. Full-time students intending to take this course must first obtain the permission of the faculty. Those wishing to take daytime classes will be permitted to take subjects in course GED0001 as credit towards subjects in course GED0005.
The course comprises GED0101 (Educational psychology), GED0201 (Education in society), GED0301 (History of educational thought), GED0401 (Principles of teaching) and two methods and practice of teaching subjects. The four foundation subjects are timetabled on the same evenings each year, but most method subjects will only be available for study in daytime classes also serving the students from course GED0001. The course is basically designed to be taken over two years with GED0101, GED0201 and GED0301 taken in one year and GED0401 and the two methods and practice of teaching subjects in the other year. During 1994 GED0201 and GED0301 will be taken on Tuesday evening at 4.30. GED0201 will run from 14 February to 15 June and GED0301 will run from 22 July to 26 October. The assessment requirements of GED0401 (Principles of teaching) are such that they are normally met during the teaching practice periods.
Some students currently employed as teachers may be eligible to apply for partial exemption from teaching practice requirements. Partial exemption from teaching practice requirements may be granted to a student who is currently employed as a secondary teacher and who either has had a period of satisfactory teaching experience approved by the dean or holds an approved certificate of teaching training. An applicant for exemption must teach in the subjects for which the applicant is claiming partial exemption. Applicants will be required to attend at least one teaching round in a school other than the one in which they normally teach; the time and place for this supervised teaching will be as specified by the faculty. A student should consider this requirement carefully before making an application. All applicants for partial exemption will be visited in their schools early in the school year. They will be informed of the result of their application as early as practicable. Students applying for partial exemption should complete an application form which is available from and returnable to the GradDipEd administrative officer before the course begins.
On successfully passing the six subjects of the course, a candidate will be awarded a pass in the Graduate Diploma in Education.
