Units indexed by faculty Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation/Bachelor of Education - secondaryCourse code: 3718 + Course abbreviation: BS&OR/BEd + Total credit points required: 192 + 4 years full-time, 8 years part-time + Managing faculty: Education Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Peninsula) Course descriptionThis 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. Course structureTo receive the awards of Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation and Bachelor of Education, a student 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 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. Fieldwork placements are also included. Candidates intending to qualify as secondary school 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 specialist discipline teaching unit sets (A and B sequence = specialist discipline teaching set) in their fourth year and the requirements for employment laid down by the Victorian Institute of Teaching. 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.
