Description

The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education (Primary) combines specific studies with the theory and practice of primary teaching. The education degree provides a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and practical experiences in schools and other appropriate settings, with the opportunity to gain overseas or remote practical experiences. When students take the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education double degree, they are able to complete both courses in four years of full-time study at a normal course load for each year.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that students will have:

acquired the skills that will effectively allow them to plan and deliver primary school educational programs
gained an understanding of curriculum development and the significance of the key areas of learning taught in primary schools
developed knowledge about child development underlying professional practice and an understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of primary teacher education
understood and appreciated the cultural contexts of schooling and the diversity of the student population
developed the capacity to be responsive to the needs of children, their families and communities in a flexible and innovative way.

Total credit points required	204
Standard duration of study (years)	4 years FT, 8 years PT
Study mode and location	On-campus (Clayton)

Notes

In order to complete the degree within four years it is necessary for students to overload by 12 points in the fourth year.
This course requires students to undertake off-campus placements.

Description

Secondary school teachers are specialists in one or more areas within a school curriculum, allowing them to focus on subjects and issues of personal interest. The Monash double degree gives students the ability to deepen their understanding of the areas they intend to teach in schools by offering a choice of more than 50 subject areas within the Bachelor of Arts. This approach enables students to also pursue professional development opportunities in business, industry, government or the community as well as teaching. Students put their learning into action through practical experiences, completing a minimum of 80 days of professional placements in secondary schools and other settings, including opportunities for overseas or remote practical experiences.

This double degree requires the study equivalent of 4.25 years of full time study (204 credit points), however it has been structured to allow completion in just 4 years full-time or 8 years part-time. This is made possible by the incorporation of a 12 credit point study overload in the final year of the course.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that students will:

have developed rich and integrated theoretical perspectives on teaching and learning as well as the culture and contexts of schooling
have linked these theoretical perspectives to different educational contexts and be able to use these linkages to inform and develop their practice
have developed a high level of competence as knowledgeable, reflective, research oriented and articulate practitioners
be self-sufficient and independent as beginning teachers in a secondary context generally and in the specific areas of humanities education that they select for study in their Bachelor of Arts.

For objectives of the Arts component of this double degree go to http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2010handbooks/courses/0002.html

Fieldwork

The course includes a minimum of 80 days of placement, with some placement being undertaken in each year of the course. In first, second and third year, placements are tied to education units offered. In fourth year, the 50 days of placement are tied to the four professional experience units. These placements involve a program of field visits to different educational sites and include structured teaching experience.

Students must be available to undertake these on a full-time basis for several weeks at a time. For full-time students placement is typically conducted in two blocks of five weeks, one each semester. For part-time students it is typically conducted in four blocks of two to three weeks, one block in each of four semesters. These units are taken concurrently with enrolment in the core curriculum units and the curriculum specialism units. They provide supervised teaching practice in the teaching area of the student's curriculum units while on school placement.

Students who are employed in schools must complete at least 25 days of supervised school placement in a setting other than the school at which they are employed.

Professional recognition

Graduates will be eligible for registration and employment as secondary school teachers in Victoria. For interstate and overseas positions, applicants are advised to check registration and employment requirements with local authorities.

Structure

To receive the awards of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education, a student must successfully complete units totalling 204 points, consisting of:

(a.) studies in arts (96 points) including:

arts discipline major (48 points).
arts discipline minor (24 points).
an additional arts discipline first-year sequence (12 points).
a further 12 points in arts units.

For full details on the majors and minors offered, refer to the 'Areas of study' at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/aos/index-ug-byfaculty-arts.html.

(b.) studies in education (108 points) including a series of units relating to the theory and practice of education, teaching and curriculum, and professional placement units.

Students need to be aware that their major and minor studies in arts must satisfy the requirements for the study of two curriculum specialism units in their fourth year and the requirements for employment laid down by the Victorian Institute of Teaching. Students are advised to consult the VIT website at http://www.vit.vic.edu.au in consultation with their course advisor.

Generally, to qualify for secondary curriculum specialism units, a candidate will require a minimum of two years of full-time academic study in that discipline. There are additional requirements for some disciplines.

Progressively over the course, students will complete more of the education component, until the final year, which is composed entirely of education studies, including professional placements.

This course requires students to undertake off-campus placements.

Description

This course is designed to fully prepare students for a career in a range of early childhood educational settings. The course explores a wide range of issues in teaching and children's learning, and covers the key learning areas of the arts, literacy, numeracy, health, wellbeing, physical education, science, Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE), and technology. It also provides recognised teaching qualifications in primary and early childhood settings.

Objectives

This course is designed to provide students with a program of studies and experiences, which should enable them to:

develop knowledge of, and critically reflect on, the theoretical foundations of human development and of education, especially those relevant to early childhood education
relate their own views and experiences in education, family and society to those of others and critically reflect on these
appreciate the implications the family, social, cultural and political contexts have for children's development and learning, and how they impact on early childhood services
understand the professional role of the early childhood educator in a diverse and complex society which is undergoing rapid and continuous social and technological change
develop skills that will allow them to instigate and respond to change and to advocate effectively for young children, families and the early childhood profession
demonstrate competence in general care, appropriate curriculum planning and teaching skills, as well as administration and management across a range of children's services
develop effective research, communication and interpersonal skills
have the skills and attitudes that foster a positive view of continued personal and professional development.

Fieldwork

Students must complete teaching practice which consists of a minimum of 130 days of satisfactory supervised school experience. Those students who are employed in schools must complete a minimum of 50 per cent of supervised placement in a setting other than the school in which they are employed.

Structure

To receive the awards of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education, a student must successfully complete units totalling 192 points consisting of:

(a.) studies in science (96 points). Students must complete a major sequence in a science discipline (48 credit points - normally 12 points at level one, 12 points at level two and 24 points at level three), a minor sequence in a different science discipline (24 credit points - 12 points at level one and 12 points at level two), and two additional science units.

Students must also complete:

SCI2010 The practice and application of science

plus one of:*

SCI1020 Introduction to statistical reasoning

Description

The course design draws on important traditional approaches to teaching and learning, and brings together the latest theory, practice and research. There is an emphasis on ethical reflexive practices and the development of an engaged professional identity. Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Education (secondary) program of studies, graduates will have a sound preparation for entry into the science and/or education and training professions, in a range of science education contexts, including schools, industry and community-based settings.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that students will:

have developed rich and integrated theoretical perspectives on teaching and learning as well as the culture and contexts of schooling
have linked these theoretical perspectives to different educational contexts and be able to use these linkages to inform and develop their practice
have developed a high level of competence as knowledgeable, reflective, research oriented and articulate practitioners
be self-sufficient and independent as beginning teachers in a secondary context generally and in the specific areas of humanities education that they select for study in their Bachelor of Science.

For description and objectives of the Science component of this double degree go to http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2010handbooks/courses/0050.html

Fieldwork

The course includes a minimum of 80 days of placement, with some placement being undertaken in each year of the course.

First, second and third year: placements are tied to education units offered.

Fourth year: 50 days placement are tied to the four professional experience units.

Students must be available to undertake these on a full-time basis for several weeks at a time. For full-time students placement is typically conducted in two blocks of five weeks, one each semester. For part-time students it is typically conducted in four blocks of two to three weeks, one block in each of four semesters. These placement units are taken concurrently with enrolment in the core curriculum units and the curriculum specialism units. They provide supervised teaching practice in the teaching area of the student's curriculum units while on school placement.

Semester one

EDF4730 Professional experience 1A/EDF4731 Professional experience 1B
