The Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation and Bachelor of Education double
degree program is a unique, interdisciplinary degree which focuses specifically
on the employment and training needs of those seeking employment in the
expanding sport and outdoor recreation industries. The course provides
attractive sequences of studies for students in a number of disciplinary areas
including education, business/management, tourism, environmental science and
sports science. Upon completion of these degrees graduates will be qualified
for employment as primary or secondary teachers (including health and physical
education if the approved subject sequence is followed) or in the sport and
outdoor recreation field. Opportunities exist for further study.
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed the VCE or its equivalent including two units of mathematics (any) and have achieved a study score of at least 20 in English units 3 and 4 and a study score of at least 20 in any other three VCE units.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation and Bachelor of
Education, a candidate for the double degree must successfully complete
subjects totalling 192 points consisting of:
(a) Studies in sport and outdoor recreation (96 points), consisting of
studies in academic disciplines appropriate for either the sport and recreation
industry and/or teaching at the primary or secondary level and the adult and
vocational education sector.
(b) Studies in education (96 points), a series of subjects relating to the
theory and practice of education, teaching and curriculum. Practicum placements
are also included.
Candidates intending to qualify as secondary teachers need to be aware that
their major and minor studies in sport and outdoor recreation must satisfy the
requirements for the study of two teaching methods in their fourth year and the
requirements for employment laid down by the Department of Education,
Employment and Training and non-government authorities. Particular care must be
taken in subject choice by those wishing to qualify as health and physical
education teachers.
Off-campus fieldwork placement in school settings (mainly in Victoria but also
in wider Australia, North America and the South Pacific) is an integral part of
the course for every student. Other off-campus fieldwork activities provide
students, as individuals or in small groups, with opportunities to collect
data, test theories, and observe phenomena relevant to all areas of education.
At the completion of first year, students will be required to elect to continue in either the primary or secondary stream of the Bachelor of Education.
