The Bachelor of Education is a four-year, full-time professional degree course preparing students to work in primary schools and other contexts with children in Years K-6 (aged 5-12 years). Students undertake generalist units in education and professional studies as well as units of study in the sciences, social sciences and humanities offered by the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Economics and Business.
The Bachelor of Education (Primary Education) covers all the Key Learning Areas (primary subject areas) with special attention to the mandatory areas of Indigenous Education, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Special Education. Similarly, professional experience (practice teaching) is integral to the program and commences in first year. Students will be introduced to teaching through small group teaching in schools and in out of school facilities that care for children. Students will also complete practical and theoretical studies relating to children with special needs and children from a wide variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
In fourth year students can specialise in one of a number of year-long elective units such as Creative Arts, Special Education, TESOL and Aboriginal Education. Completion of one of these Special Options is equivalent to a major study (third year or 300 level) and equips a student with an additional teaching specialisation.
Foundation education studies examine education as a social science and explore issues of policy and social theory. Professional studies provide specialist expertise in areas of primary curriculum. Units of study undertaken outside the faculty give students the opportunity to engage in subject areas of interest at a tertiary level. In the first year, students also undertake a science foundations unit, which provides grounding in the four major science areas (physics, chemistry, biology and geology).
The Bachelor of Education (Primary Education) produces graduates who have:
- a broad general personal education with in-depth knowledge in at least one area
- an evolving personal theory of education, based on an understanding of contemporary society, children’s development, the variety of teaching roles, and the purposes and functions of schooling
- knowledge, attitudes and attributes required for the effective performance of the complex tasks and responsibilities of primary school teachers
- a capacity to construct, implement and evaluate appropriate programs of learning experiences for primary school children
- the maturity and humanity necessary for professional teaching
- an ability to maintain, enquire into, and evaluate their own professional development
- the ability to critically analyse new professional and policy developments.
Note

Rationale for the inclusion of Education I, II, III and IV in the Bachelor of Education
The Bachelor of Education has as its organising principle the professional education of teachers. As part of that education Education I, II, III and IV contribute a range of studies which link professional practice to broader theoretical and contextual understandings of educational activity. These include studies of childhood and youth, learning and teaching, psychology and human development; as well as studies of the philosophy, history, politics and sociology of education in a rapidly changing world. The increasingly globalised world students of the twenty first century enter, makes international perspectives crucial. The University of Sydney acknowledges the need to place all units of study offered in Education I through to Education IV within a global context.
Consequently the Education stream has an important relationship to the social sciences and humanities. Units of study in Education I, II, III and IV are therefore organised around multi-disciplinary topics and problem-solving frameworks. The overall aim of these units is for students to engage with substantial bodies of thought in making sense of a broad range of teaching and learning experiences; developing skills and knowledge so that they may participate actively in the processes of education and educational reform.
To this end units of study in Education I, II, III and IV encourage depth of understanding, flexibility, and critical and constructive thinking on diverse approaches to educational issues. In addition, organised research training aims to develop skills in systematic enquiry and reflective practices. These skills and knowledge are essential for learning and teaching related professions.
Units of study across Education I, II, III and IV develop from general understandings in first year to more specialised understandings in second, third and fourth years. These units of study contribute to the general skills and knowledge expected of graduates of the University of Sydney who are preparing for active participation in society as informed citizens and life long learners. Not all students of Education I, II and III will become teachers. Education I, II, III and IV is designed for the students who intend to become teachers, as well as students who have a more general desire to understand education as a field of academic inquiry.
Education I, II, III and IV contribute to the attributes of University of Sydney graduates in these five areas:
Knowledge
Graduates who have passed through Education I, II, III and IV should:
- have a body of knowledge in the field of education, drawn from disciplines and multi-disciplinary studies including: human development (child and adolescent in particular), educational psychology (with an emphasis on how young people learn), schooling as a social activity (which study will include philosophical, historical, sociological and multi-disciplinary perspectives), and curriculum, professional and teaching studies;
- be able to apply theory and research findings to practise in familiar and unfamiliar situations;
- have an appreciation of the importance and usefulness of scholarship and research as they organise their professional careers;
- have a working knowledge of the processes of policy development and implementation in education, with specific knowledge about certain mandated policies such as Child Protection.
Thinking skills
Graduates who have passed through Education I, II, III and IV should be able to:
- interpret educational research and theory critically
- exercise critical judgement
- think rigorously and independently
- account for their decisions
- evaluate their own performance realistically
- adopt a problem-solving approach
- think creatively and imaginatively.
Personal skills
Graduates who have passed through Education I, II, III and IV should have the:
- formal research skills to investigate their professional practice and its context
- capacity and desire to continue to learn
- ability to plan and achieve goals in both the personal and professional sphere
- ability to work with others, including those from diverse backgrounds.
Personal attributes
Graduates who have passed through Education I, II, III and IV should:
- strive for tolerance and integrity
- acknowledge their personal responsibility for their own value judgements and ethical behaviour towards others.
Practical skills
Graduates who have passed through the Education I, II, III and IV should:
- collect, analyse and report observations
- present reasoned argument based on research to peers in the field of education
- analyse educational activity and phenomena from a theoretically informed knowledge-base
- use computing and recent information technologies to assist in their learning, analysis, presentation and solving of educational issues and problems.
Units of study in Education I, II, III and IV link these attributes to their evaluative and assessment practices. Staff members will build into their assessments the following criteria for evaluating students' work:
- Knowledge of concepts, theories, methods and content associated with a unit of study
- Ability to apply these concepts, theories and methods within the unit of study
- Ability to communicate ideas in written and oral form
- Ability to use a range of resources to analyse and synthesise the key elements of an educational question
- Ability to gather evidence to solve educational problems.
