Notes
DescriptionThe Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation and Bachelor of Education (secondary) program may provide sequences of study in physical education, outdoor education and a number of disciplinary areas outside of the Faculty of Education. This is a unique, interdisciplinary program which focuses specifically on the employment and training needs of those seeking to work in physical education, sport and outdoor education as secondary school teachers within Victoria, and the expanding sport and outdoor recreation industries. In the process of studying this course, students will engage in a range of teaching and learning approaches, in university and fieldwork settings. ObjectivesUpon successful completion of this course it is expected that students will have:
FieldworkStudents must successfully complete the outdoor experiences and physical activity requirements of each unit (approximately 40-60 days total over the program duration). 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.
