8. Bachelor of Teaching and Master of Teaching

Introduction to the course

The Bachelor of Teaching and associated Master of Teaching is a graduate entry degree in teacher education for prospective teachers who already hold an undergraduate degree.

The Bachelor of Teaching comprises three semesters of coursework including practicums. Students may exit the program after three semesters with a Bachelor of Teaching (BTeach) or choose to continue to the Master of Teaching (MTeach), which is an additional fourth semester comprising a one-term internship, an action research project and a post-internship conference.

The degree is available in three integrated streams:

  • Early Childhood (0-5 yrs)
  • Primary (K-6)
  • Secondary (7-12)

Admission is on the basis of an appropriate undergraduate degree which together with the BTeach or MTeach provides a professional teaching qualification. Graduates will be eligible to seek accreditation with the NSW Institute of Teachers.

The BTeach/MTeach course is founded on a philosophy which values motivation, scholarly reflection, collaborative learning, practitioner research and commitment to lifelong learning and professional development.

The BTeach/MTeach program is designed to prepare graduates who have a knowledge and understanding of, and developing critical competencies in:

  1. the nature of contemporary education in the contexts of the child, the school, the community, and the profession
  2. the professional roles and responsibilities of teachers, and
  3. the teaching of their chosen subject disciplines.

The program is grounded in the principles of:

  • case study and problem-based approaches to teaching and learning
  • collaborative learning
  • reflective and meta-cognitive approaches to teaching and learning
  • constructiveness learning theories
  • lifelong learning and ongoing professional development
  • scholarly and practitioner research and research-led teaching.

Bachelor of Teaching

The Bachelor of Teaching program consists of the following components:

  1. Core Education units
  2. Curriculum method units
  3. Professional Experiences program
  4. Honours program (optional)

In the core education units students will address the nature and practice of contemporary schooling, teaching and learning and the contexts within which they occur. Units include Introduction to Teaching and Learning, Teachers and Learners: School Communities and Schools in their Communities.

Students also undertake Information Technology in Education and Special Education which address mandatory areas of study required of all beginning teachers.

EDBT6620 TAS Curriculum 3

Credit points: 6 Teacher/Coordinator: Dr Nigel B Goodwin Session: Semester 1 Classes: 3 hrs per wk Prerequisites: EDBT5620 TAS Curriculum 1and EDBT5670 TAS Curriculum 2 Assessment: Major Design Project undertaken as a team (60%); Reflective journal or ePortfolio (25%); class presentation (15%)
The Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) curriculum course aims to explore issues, perspectives and relationships in the effective design and practical use of technologies. This course will provide students with the opportunity to apply a design philosophy through creative and analytical exploration, explanation, practice and synthesis applicable in an educational context. The curriculum course will focus on one of the senior syllabi in the TAS Key Learning Area and culminates in a grounded Major Design Project and Project Portfolio undertaken in association with external clients. To support learning during the project development, journal writing and ePortfolios are critically examined. Aspects of the design process including thinking processes, idea generation, design communication, creativity, choosing appropriate materials and manufacturing processes are supported by using mind mapping and other visualisation processes, thinking skill development approaches, and by the study of extant design solutions. Since students must also undertake a written examination in design and technology at the HSC, methods for approaching and completing examinations are also studied. Many classrooms reflect the diverse ethnic and social backgrounds of Australia's populations so the diverse needs of learners including indigenous and NESB are studied with a view to tailoring pedagogies to their needs. The special educational needs of gifted and talented learners are also addressed. Management and leadership of TAS faculties is also analysed with a view to informing the optimal choice and utilisation of resources.

A second section of this unit of study deals with using ICT to support and augment learning and performance within the TAS KLA in a knowledge-building framework. Understanding how designers work is important in the context of teaching about design. To this end, design thinking and reasoning processes, approaches to innovation, excellence in design, decision making and situation assessment, and the power of narratives of design experiences are also studied. Understanding why and how programs succeed or fail is important for future planning. Program evaluations processes are therefore studied.
