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: units 1 and 2 - two units of mathematics (any); units 3 and 4 - a study score of at least 25 in 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 Victorian Department of Education and Training and
non-government authorities. Particular care must be taken in unit choice by
those wishing to qualify as health and physical or outdoor 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.
