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 to work 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 unit 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 25 in units 3 and 4 English (any) and a study score of at least 20 in any other three VCE studies.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation and Bachelor of
Education, a candidate for the double degree must successfully complete units
totalling 192 points consisting of:
(a) Studies in sport and outdoor recreation (96 points), including 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 units 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 methods and practice-of-teaching unit sets (A
and B sequence = method set) 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 unit 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.
