* This course was previously known as the Bachelor of Information Systems/Bachelor of Education.
This double-degree program enables students to complete both courses in four years of full-time study, with overload.
To
receive the awards of Bachelor of Information Systems (Information Management)
and Bachelor of Education, a student must successfully complete units totalling
204 points, consisting of:
(a) Studies in information management and systems (108 points), including a
major study (three years of study in a single discipline), a minor study (two
years of study in a single discipline). Students will be required to overload
by six points in each of years two and three.
(b) Studies in education (96 points), a series of units relating to the theory
and practice of education, teaching and curriculum. Fieldwork placements are
also included.
Candidates
intending to qualify as secondary school teachers need to be aware that their
major and minor studies in arts 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 (or third and fourth years for Gippsland students) and the
requirements for employment laid down by the Victorian Institute of
Teaching.
Generally, to qualify for a secondary teaching method, a candidate will require
a minimum of two years of full academic study in that discipline. There are
additional requirements for some disciplines.
Progressively over the course, students will be completing more of the
education component, until the final year, which will be entirely education
including an extended teaching fieldwork. This fieldwork is a program of field
visits to different educational sites and includes structured teaching
experience. The fieldwork placement is an integrated part of work in the
Bachelor of Education program.
Secondary education units will be offered at Clayton campus and for the information systems component of the double degree, units will be offered at the Caulfield campus.
